Quick Facts

  • Cheeks can be augmented which can lift flat or hollow cheeks in all age groups.
  • Cheek reshaping can restore age related volume depletion and reduce lines.
  • Cheek consultations with a treatment plan can help to restore a V-shaped facial contour for a more youthful appearance.
  • We individualise your treatment plan by taking into account your gender, age and facial features.

We offer consultations for cheek reshaping that can subtly contour the face and restore balance and harmony, accentuating high cheekbones. Facial ageing begins in our 20s when skin firmness begins to decrease due to both internal (genetics and natural ageing) and external (sun exposure, smoking, stress, exercise, etc.) factors.

As we age, we lose collagen and bone support for the cheeks. The cheek fat pads lose volume and descend, which causes the cheeks to flatten and nasolabial folds (lines from the nose to the mouth) to deepen. The volume loss is noticeable in the cheeks and midface, which affects the overall look and balance of our face. In addition, our skin loses volume and elasticity, causing it to sag, especially in the midface. The area under our eyes (tear troughs) becomes hollower and sags, partly due to the loss of support provided by the cheeks as we age.

What occurs in cheek reshaping and volume replacement consultations?

All of our medical clinicians at Face To Face Medical have been trained and are skilled in assessing facial proportions and facial harmony. We individualise each treatment plan to suit your specific facial features and maintain a natural outcome. There is a science behind facial proportions, and we incorporate this into our assessments and treatments. We aim to provide a treatment plan that will restore volume and fullness, as well as provide structure for the mid-face.
