Cheek Enhancement
As we age, our skin loses collagen and fat resulting in a loss of volume in the cheeks. Sunken cheeks can give a skeletal appearance adding years to the face, but by rectifying the loss of fullness with hyaluronic acid dermal filler, River Aesthetics can create a youthful and fresh appearance.
RESTORE FACIAL HARMONY
Subtle volume replacement using dermal fillers in the cheeks can hugely impact the entire face, lifting and restoring facial harmony & balance. Fillers can also help to contour and add structure without the need for silicone cheek implants. Our medical team’s experience and artistic skill help patients achieve their desired look whilst maintaining their natural beauty using only the best Hyaluronic Acid dermal fillers available on the market.
Cheek fillers can also help to address other areas of ageing by lifting and supporting the mid-face area. The injectable hyaluronic acid based dermal fillers revitalise and add volume to the skin, instantly reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles for a natural ‘lifted’ appearance.
When used correctly, fillers can achieve a natural looking result which does not affect facial expression. The result of a single treatment can be seen instantly and can last for around 9-12 months, depending on the area injected before the hyaluronic acid is naturally broken down by the body.
FAQ

9-12 months, this is dependent on filler used and the area which has been injected. The filler is naturally broken down by the body.
