Cheek Enhancement

Cheek enhancement is a cosmetic treatment that restores lost volume and defines facial structure for a balanced appearance. At Evolution Laser Clinic, our Cosmetic  Registered Nurses use evidence-based techniques to achieve results that align with your goals. Research indicates that hyaluronic acid-based midface augmentation effectively adjusts facial contours while preserving natural movement. A systematic review published in Facial Plastic Surgery reported high patient satisfaction and long-lasting results with minimal side effects (PubMed, 2021). Patients considering this treatment should consult with qualified professionals to ensure safe and effective care tailored to their needs.

You may be considered suitable for a cheek enhancement treatment if you:

• Are in good overall health.
• Wish to restore volume or facial structure to the cheekbones.
• Have realistic expectations about treatment outcomes.

Cheek enhancement can address volume loss in the following areas:

1. Mid Cheek: Enhancing this area can temporarily restore support and fullness.
2. Lateral (Outer) Cheek: Refining the cheekbone structure creates definition and symmetry.
3. Sub-Malar (Under Cheek): Restoring volume in this area reduces a hollow appearance.

If you are looking to restore volume in other areas of the face, we can explore other treatments during your consultation.

1. Refined Facial Contours – A cheek volume treatment can enhance the natural cheek structure, creating the appearance of more defined cheekbones.
2. Restored Volume – Reduces midface volume loss, temporarily softening signs of aging.
3. Balanced Facial Proportions – Improves definition and structure, creating a well-proportioned profile.

At Evolution Laser Clinic, we ensure a comfortable and informed treatment experience:

1. Consultation
   A comprehensive facial assessment is conducted to evaluate bone structure, volume loss and overall proportions. Based on this assessment, a tailored treatment plan is developed. We will also outline all potential risks, side effects, recovery and downtime so you understand what to expect.
2. Treatment
   Cheek Enhancement is performed using a precise technique to achieve natural-looking volume and contour. The treatment is minimally invasive and your comfort is our priority, so we can apply a numbing cream to ensure the process is more tolerable.
3. Aftercare
   Following the cheekbone augmentation treatment, detailed aftercare instructions are provided to optimise healing, ensure smooth recovery and maintain results. A follow-up appointment may be scheduled to monitor progress.

The cost of cheek enhancement varies depending on your individual goals and proposed treatment plan. During your consultation, we will provide a detailed cost breakdown to ensure transparency.

While cheek enhancement is generally considered a  safe and effective treatment, you must be aware of all potential side effects, including:

• Mild swelling, redness, or tenderness – Typically subsides within a few days.
• Temporary asymmetry – May occur as the treatment settles.
• Mild discomfort – Can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
• Small lumps – Generally resolve within four weeks.

Treatments are administered by our Cosmetic Registered Nurses to minimise risks and ensure natural-looking results. If you notice any persistent or adverse side effects, please contact us or a medical professional immediately.
