Dermal fillers for the cheeks are a minimally invasive and commonly used treatment to enhance your facial aesthetic with natural-looking results.
Cheek fillers can help to restore lost volume in the cheekbones and cheek area, which diminishes as we age, giving rise to a sunken or flattened appearance. By injecting a naturally-occuring substance called hyaluronic acid, fillers add volume and moisture to the injected area, and may stimulate collagen production to further provide structural support.
As a result, cheek fillers lift and volumise the cheeks, provide structure to the natural cheekbones for a more contoured look, and may enhance facial symmetry for a refreshing aesthetic appearance.
Medical Aesthetics 360 is a trusted provider of dermal fillers in Sydney. All our cosmetic injectable procedures are performed by qualified doctors with many years of experience, and we prioritise patient safety and comfort.
Here’s what to expect during your cheek fillers treatment:
- Following our initial skin assessment, one of our doctors will prepare your skin and apply a numbing agent to help ensure your comfort throughout.
- Your doctor will then administer the dermal filler injections to the cheek area. To ensure the most natural results, we inject the filler substance gradually and can adjust results if necessary using a dissolving enzyme.
- Your treatment is complete! Most sessions don’t exceed 30 minutes and typically, you can return to work and usual activities straight afterwards.
Cheek fillers offer a multitude of benefits to those wishing to improve the aesthetic of their midface and reverse the signs of aging that make us look tired, haggard and worn.
Dermal fillers for cheeks can be used to:

- Add symmetry to the cheeks and face
- Create a more feminine or masculine look
Cheek Fillers: Frequently Asked Questions
Cheek fillers may use hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body, to restore lost volume or enhance cheek contours. This non-surgical treatment adds structure and volume to the cheeks, helping to create a more defined and balanced facial appearance. Fillers can be used to address age-related volume loss or to enhance naturally thin or flattened cheek areas, resulting in a subtle, natural-looking improvement. All products used are TGA-approved, and results vary between individuals depending on their unique facial structure and treatment goals.
Cheek fillers are a popular choice for adding volume and structure to the mid-cheek, outer cheek, or below the cheekbones. At Medical Aesthetics 360°, we take a personalised approach to every patient to ensure it caters to your needs.
Cheek fillers may not be the best option for you if:
- You’re under 18 years of age
- You have underlying health conditions
- You are currently pregnant or breastfeeding
- You have a history of nerve or bleeding disorders
- You have a skin disorder
Finally, it’s important to be realistic about the results that can be achieved from your cheek fillers. Our highly-trained medical staff will be happy to chat to you about the kind of results you can expect, based on your particular situation.
Cheek fillers are generally safe, with minor and temporary side effects. After treatment, some patients may experience bruising, redness, swelling, or lumpiness at the injection site. These reactions are common and typically resolve on their own within a few days. It’s important to follow aftercare instructions from your doctor to support the healing process and minimise any discomfort or side effects.
Our personalized service ensures that each treatment plan is tailored to your unique needs, concerns, and goals. As a result, pricing may vary for each patient. During your initial consultation, one of our trained doctors will assess your skin and medical history, discuss your expectations, and create a customised treatment plan. This plan will include a breakdown of costs, timeframes, and details about the procedure, ensuring transparency and clarity throughout your treatment journey.
The results of your cheek filler treatment will be visible immediately, but they will continue to improve over the following weeks as any swelling reduces and the filler settles into place. The effects of dermal fillers for the cheeks typically last between 9 to 18 months, depending on the type of filler used and your body’s metabolism. Since the effects are temporary, you may need to schedule maintenance treatments when signs of aging reappear to maintain your desired results.
While the vast majority of patients are thrilled with their cheek results, we understand that some may have concerns if the outcome isn’t exactly as expected. One of the key benefits of dermal fillers is that they are reversible. If needed, we can use an enzyme to dissolve the filler and restore the area to its original appearance. Additionally, it’s important to keep in mind that dermal fillers are temporary, and their effects naturally fade over time, offering flexibility for future adjustments or treatments.
After your session, your doctor will provide you with important aftercare instructions to ensure the best results and avoid complications. Key tips to be mindful of after your session include:
- Avoiding direct sun exposure
- Not drinking alcohol
- Avoiding exposure to very hot environments, e.g. sauna
- Not engaging in strenuous exercise for 24 hours
- Taking care not to pick, rub or massage the treated area
- Avoiding excess movement of the treated area
If you experience any unusual symptoms, contact us immediately so our medical team can provide further guidance to ensure your safety and the best possible outcome for your treatment.
For the majority of patients, cheek filler treatments cause only mild discomfort rather than significant pain. You might feel a light pinching sensation when the injection is applied, followed by mild stinging as the filler is injected. To help minimise discomfort, we may apply an anaesthetic to the treated area and use very fine needles to make the process as comfortable as possible.
After your session, it’s normal to experience some mild soreness or tenderness, but this can usually be relieved with simple home remedies such as ice packs and over-the-counter pain medications.
If you’re feeling anxious or unsure about the treatment, our team is more than happy to walk you through the process and provide detailed information. This will help ensure that you feel calm and confident going into your session, knowing what to expect and how to manage any minor discomfort. Our goal is to make your experience as comfortable and reassuring as possible from start to finish.
