Dermal fillers can be used in the cheek area to define and contour the cheek bones, giving a sharper and more feminine look.
They can also be used add volume, contour and lift the mid face region. The midface is one of the first areas to lose volume as we age and this can give a tired and sunken appearance. Losing cheek volume contributes to heaviness in your lower face and the formation of nose-mouth lines and jowls. Filler in the cheeks can be used to add structural support to the face and restore volume that has been lost due to the ageing process
By adding volume, the skin texture can also be improved, and a more harmonious facial appearance is achieved.
Common Misconception:
Patients often worry that cheek filler will make their face appear rounder. This is usually the case when too much filler has been used or has been placed incorrectly. Dr Sarika has beautifully sculpted many cheeks and is highly experienced in mid face rejuvenation.
