Cheek enhancement refers to non-surgical procedures that may help restore or create contour in the mid-face area. Natural ageing and changes in the skin can lead to a reduction in volume, which may affect facial definition.
At Injex Clinics, we provide comprehensive consultations and assessments for people considering cheek contouring. During this appointment, a qualified practitioner will evaluate your concerns, discuss potential options, outline risks and benefits, and determine whether treatment is appropriate for you.
Your consultation at Injex Clinics is an essential first step. It allows our team to thoroughly review your medical history, facial structure, skin tone and overall skin condition. During this appointment, we’ll assess your goals, discuss treatment options and outline potential risks, side effects and variable healing times. We believe in setting realistic expectations for each client and ensuring you are well-informed before deciding to proceed with treatment.
Please note that eligibility for cheek enhancement is determined following this comprehensive consultation. Our team reserves the right to decline treatment if it is deemed unsuitable for a patient’s health or may not achieve the expected outcome.
All medical procedures carry risk. Outcomes vary between individuals, and no treatment can be guaranteed. This list is not a complete list of all potential risks & side effects and is meant as a guide only. Full treatment risks and side effects will be discussed in an in-person consultation.
Cheek enhancement treatments can have potential side effects. These include numbness for a few hours after local anaesthetic and bruising, redness, swelling and discomfort that may last for a week. Small lumps may form but should disappear within a month. To manage discomfort, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like paracetamol.
However, more serious side effects can occur such as infection, severe allergic reactions or vascular complications. Our team will provide a full overview of these risks during your consultation and ensure you understand all aspects of the procedure. Individual results vary and are influenced by skin texture, lifestyle and facial anatomy.
Cheek contouring procedures focus on specific areas of the mid-face that may benefit from added volume. For some people, this can help soften the appearance of lines, enhance definition, or support overall facial balance.
Following a health evaluation, cheek contouring may be considered for individuals who are suitable candidates and wish to address changes in areas such as:
Mid-cheek — supporting under-eye volume and contributing to mid-face fullness.
Lateral (outer) cheek — enhancing the cheekbone area to create contour.
Sub-malar area (under the cheekbones) — helping reduce the appearance of hollowness in the lower cheek.
Cheek treatments are not suitable for everyone. Individuals with certain medical conditions, active skin infections, unrealistic expectations, or who are pregnant or breastfeeding may not be appropriate candidates. A thorough consultation with a qualified practitioner is always required to determine suitability and discuss potential risks, benefits, and alternatives.
Cheek enhancement treatments focus on adding volume in the mid-face, which may help support natural contours and highlight cheek structure. For some people, this can contribute to a more balanced appearance or restore areas where fullness has changed over time.
During your consultation, a qualified practitioner will review your health history and discuss your goals, before advising whether this treatment may be suitable for you.
Whether cheek enhancement is right for you depends on your individual goals and concerns. It’s a personal decision that should be made after careful consideration and it’s important to be aware of potential risks and side effects. Consulting with our team can help you assess your suitability for facial volume treatments and discuss any questions or concerns you may have.
Cheek enhancement may be considered for individuals in good general health who are interested in addressing changes in facial volume or seeking subtle contour in the mid-face.
However, this treatment is not suitable for everyone. Eligibility depends on a comprehensive consultation and medical assessment. In some cases, treatment may not be recommended if it is not appropriate for your health, skin condition, or goals. Your practitioner will discuss this with you during your consultation.
Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to support recovery. To achieve the best results, avoid alcohol, vitamin E and anti-inflammatory medications before your session to reduce the risk of bruising. If you are experiencing more serious side effects like infection or allergic reactions, please contact us or your medical provider as soon as possible.
Please refer to our cheek enhancement before care instructions and aftercare instructions for guidance on preparing for and caring after your treatment.
The effects of cheek enhancement are temporary. For some people, results may last around 6 to 12 months, although this can be shorter or longer depending on individual factors such as facial structure, metabolism, and lifestyle. Your practitioner will discuss expected timeframes and maintenance options with you during your consultation.
The frequency of cheek enhancement treatments varies for each person. Some people may consider follow-up consultations every 6 to 12 months, depending on how long their results last and their individual goals. Your practitioner will provide personalised advice during your consultation.
Cheek contouring treatments focus on restoring or adding volume in selected areas of the mid-face. For some people, this may create the appearance of a gentle lift, soften lines, or reduce the look of hollowness. These changes can contribute to the impression of improved balance in facial features.
Cheek enhancement is a temporary treatment. The effects gradually lessen over time, and for some people this may occur within 6 to 12 months. The timeframe varies between individuals. If ongoing results are desired, your practitioner may discuss follow-up treatments as part of your consultation.
