Non-Surgical Cheek Shaping
If you wish to regain that youthful curve to the cheeks and enhance the overall shape to your face then we can use a product calledEmervel Volume which can replace the lost volume and give a little more support or enhancement in that area. You will then start to notice that your facial contours begin to appear much fuller and rounder, giving your face a softer, more youthful appearance.
YOUR QUESTIONS:
What is non surgical cheek reshaping
Non-sugical non invasive cheek augmentation will involve using an HA dermal filler which is FDA approved. We use Restylane and Teoxane as well as Juvederm to replace the contours of the cheek to give a natural aesthetic look. This is a very safe, out patient procedure which takes around 45 min to complete.
Who is a good candidate?
Most patients are suitable who wish to improve the size and shape of the cheeks. Patients who present with a flat mid face can improve the balance by having treatment with dermal fillers. At consultation we will determine if you are a suitable candidate or not.
How is the treatment carried out ?
At your initial consultation we will determine your goals and expectations of treatment. We will take notes of any abnormalities or asymmetry before determining the best treatment plan. Treatment will be carried out within the clinic and takes around 45 min to complete. This is to allow time for the anaesthetic to take effect making the procedure more comfortable. We will generally use a blunt cannula for this area to minimise risk of trauma to underlying tissues. We will follow with post procedure advice and give you post procedure aftercare cream to take home with you
Will there be any pain/bruising?
There will be minimal discomfort and as we use a blunt tipped cannula so risk of bruising is extremely low . Any mild bruising shall usually resolve within one week. You may feel a little tender in the areas injected for around 3-5 days post procedure.
When will I see results of treatment?
Improvement in the cheeks will be seen immediately however allow 3-5 days for any swelling to reduce and HA to take more effect. Swelling is minimal and you can return to work the same day if required with no heavy activities. Most patients however plan a few days off work. Please allow 3-4 weeks for any review appointments.
How long will treatment last?
Dermal fillers can last up to 12-18 months. Studies and clinical data have shown our range of dermal fillers can last up to this time in some patients. We usually see patients back for a top up at 9-12 months. Results and longevity vary with patients. This is recommended ONLY and depends on individual lifestyle. Some clients may come back at month 6 for a top up of more product.
