Cheek Enhancement

Cheek enhancement is a cosmetic treatment that adds volume and contour to specific areas of the face. Over time, changes in the skin can result in volume loss that may make the cheeks appear less defined. At Injex Clinics in Brisbane, we offer consultations and initial assessments for cheek contouring, exploring whether you are a potential candidate for this treatment. 

What to expect during your cheek enhancement consultation

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.

How cheek contouring works

Our cheek contouring treatments target specific areas of the cheeks to add volume, aiming to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and add more definition to the face. By addressing volume loss in the mid-face, this cosmetic aesthetics treatment may support visual symmetry. 

Pending a health evaluation, cheek contouring may be suitable for individuals in good health who wish to add volume in three primary areas:

  • Mid-cheek — Volume here supports the under-eye region and contributes to midface fullness.
  • Lateral (outer) cheek — This area adds structure to the cheekbone, providing an added contour to the face.
  • Sub-malar area (under the cheekbones) — Addressing volume loss here can reduce a hollowed appearance. 

However, individuals with certain medical conditions, active skin infections, unrealistic expectations or who are pregnant or breastfeeding are or may not be suitable candidates. Please be reminded that a thorough consultation is always needed to determine your suitability.

These solutions for your skin can be used to improve:

Potential side effects and individual results

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.
