Well-defined cheekbones are one of the most universally admired facial features — they create structure, lift, and a youthful facial contour. Non-surgical cheek augmentation using dermal fillers at The London Aesthetic Clinic offers a safe, effective, and reversible way to enhance your cheekbones without surgery.
What Is Non-Surgical Cheek Augmentation?
Non-surgical cheek augmentation involves the precise injection of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers into the cheek area to add volume, definition, and lift. Unlike surgical cheek implants, injectable cheek augmentation is minimally invasive, requires no general anaesthetic, and involves minimal downtime.
Depending on your anatomy and goals, cheek fillers can be used to add projection to flat cheekbones, restore volume lost through ageing, lift the midface to reduce the appearance of nasolabial folds, or create a more defined, sculpted appearance.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Cheek Augmentation?
Cheek augmentation with dermal fillers is suitable for a wide range of patients. Younger patients may seek cheek fillers to add definition and projection to naturally flat cheekbones. Older patients often benefit from cheek fillers to restore volume lost through the natural ageing process — as we age, the fat pads in the midface descend and diminish, leading to a flatter, more hollow appearance.
The best candidates are those with realistic expectations who understand that the goal of non-surgical cheek augmentation is enhancement and rejuvenation, not transformation. A thorough consultation at The London Aesthetic Clinic will help determine whether cheek fillers are right for you.
The Cheek Augmentation Procedure
Cheek augmentation at The London Aesthetic Clinic begins with a detailed consultation and facial assessment. Your practitioner will analyse your facial anatomy, discuss your goals, and plan the treatment to achieve a balanced, harmonious result.
On the day of treatment, topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area. The filler is then injected using either a fine needle or a blunt-tipped cannula, depending on the technique most appropriate for your anatomy. Most patients find the procedure comfortable and well-tolerated. Treatment typically takes 30–45 minutes, and results are immediately visible.
How Long Do Cheek Fillers Last?
Cheek fillers typically last between 12 and 18 months, making them one of the longer-lasting areas for dermal filler treatment. The cheeks are a relatively low-movement area, which means the filler breaks down more slowly than in areas like the lips. Results can be maintained with periodic top-up treatments.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does cheek augmentation cost in London?
Non-surgical cheek augmentation with dermal fillers in London typically costs between £400 and £700 per syringe. Most patients require one to two syringes depending on the degree of augmentation desired. At The London Aesthetic Clinic, we provide transparent pricing during your consultation.
Is cheek augmentation painful?
Most patients find cheek augmentation comfortable. Topical numbing cream is applied before treatment, and many filler products also contain lidocaine to further reduce discomfort during the procedure.
Can cheek fillers be dissolved?
Yes — hyaluronic acid cheek fillers can be dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase if you are unhappy with the results or experience any complications. This is one of the key safety advantages of hyaluronic acid fillers over permanent alternatives.
