Cheek dermal fillers sompting

WHO IS IT FOR

 

  • For patients who have lost volume in the cheek area through the natural aging process.

  • For the younger patient seeking more of a contoured look in the cheekbone area.

EFFECT

 

  • Your cheeks will look naturally restored, and you will experience a secondary improvement in the eye area alongside a reduction in the severity of your nose to mouth lines.

  • Trend at the moment in younger patients is to create a beautiful cheek contour. Although this can be achieved with make up, dermal filler injections produce spectacular, more natural results.

  • Your face may have lost volume in the cheek area through the natural ageing process, which can lead to hollowness contributing towards lower face sagging.

  • Over the age of 25, we lose our natural concentration of hyaluronic acid.

  • Even small volumes of cheek dermal filler injections will leave you feeling fresher, younger, with virtually no downtime.

  • Dr Adil has performed a countless number of cheek augmentations with remarkable results, ages ranging from 21- 80.

  • We only use the ultra premium Juvederm Vycross products.

  • We use premium award winning ultra-thin Japanese needles, resulting in a smoother, less painful and safer experience.

Cheek augmentation is one of the most popular procedures performed at the clinic. It is most commonly performed in patients complaining of loss of cheek volume, resulting/feeling “saggy”. This volume loss can have further effects of premature formation of jowls and loss of jawline definition. Restoring the cheek area  often results in an improvement in ones nasolabial folds (nose-mouth lines), and eye area (under-eyes). The results will be subtle, but noticeable. The other cohort of patients may not be suffering from cheek volume loss, but instead seeking a more contoured define lateral cheekbone. We can also softly reshape faces to be less square/heavy if required.

Marionette Line Filler

The marionette lines, or sad lines, are the lines that develop from the corner of the mouth and extend towards the jawline. Once they develop they tend to be one of the more prominent features of ageing in the face and the one that people often dislike the most.

Often when we are listening to another person speak we look at the mouth area, meaning the marionette lines are in a particularly visible areas of the face. However, these lines are relatively easy to treat with dermal filler and the overall effect of this profound when it comes to anti-ageing.

Who can get marionette line filler?

You can get marionette line filler if you are:

  • Over the age of 18

  • Not pregnant or breastfeeding

We would also like to be aware if you are taking any anticoagulant, or antiplatelet, medication, although this does not prevent you from having treatment. You will also have to make us aware if you have an allergy to local anaesthetic, as the majority of filler contains lidocaine and we will have to choose a product that does not contain this if you do in fact have an allergy.

Complications and side effects

The most common side effect of marionette line filler treatment is mild bruising and swelling. Arnica cream will be provided following the treatment, as part of your post-treatment pack, in order to increase the speed at which any bruising resolves (typically 5-7 days, up to 2 weeks for deeper haematomoas). The swelling occurs because the filler itself is made from hyaluronic acid and this attracts water, so a degree of swelling is unavoidable for around 1 week after treatment. This is generally not noticeable to the eye, but will often feel lumpy in the days post-treatment. However, this lumpiness then settles once the swelling reduces.

Navigating Dermal Filler Aftercare

Immediate Aftercare

Once you step out of our beauty salon, there are a few key instructions to keep in mind:

Avoid Disturbing the Treated Area

While the treated area may feel slightly different at first, it’s important to avoid touching, rubbing, or applying pressure. Doing so could potentially displace the filler or even lead to complications.

Stay Hydrated

Hydration is a fundamental component of healthy skin. Drinking plenty of water is particularly vital after dermal filler treatment, as these injectables work by attracting water molecules, thereby amplifying their volumizing effect.

Refrain from Intense Physical Activity

For the first 24-48 hours post-treatment, it’s best to minimise vigorous exercise. Such activities could increase blood flow, potentially causing the filler to move from the treatment area.
 

Aftercare in the First Week

The first week following your dermal filler treatment  involves preserving the results and reducing potential side effects.

Addressing Swelling and Bruising

Mild swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection site are common side effects. Use a cold pack on the area to alleviate these symptoms. It’s advisable to avoid aspirin and alcohol, both of which can exacerbate bruising.
 

Limit Sun and Heat Exposure

Sun and heat can worsen swelling or discomfort post-treatment. It’s recommended to shield the treated area from the sun, and if necessary, use a high SPF sunscreen.
 

Gentle Skin Care Routine

Continue with a gentle skincare regimen. Treat yourself to a selection of high-quality, non-irritating products.
