Cheek Filler

Cheek filler treatments can provide noticeable results shortly after the procedure, with final outcomes typically visible about a week after any swelling subsides. These results often last 18–24 months, though individual experiences may vary.

Recovery and Aftercare

• Swelling: Mild swelling is common for the first 2 days but may last up to a week in some cases.
• Bruising: Any bruising can usually be concealed with makeup.
• Lumps: Rare when performed by an experienced injector, and easily dissolved with a simple injection if a non-permanent filler is used.

Potential Risks and Complications

While cheek filler treatments are generally safe, they do carry some potential risks. These include:

• Swelling or Bruising: Temporary and typically resolves within a few days to a week.
• Infection: Rare but possible; it is important to keep the treated area clean.
• Asymmetry: Slight unevenness in results, which may require correction.
• Lumps or Nodules: Rare, but treatable if they occur.
• Skin Discolouration: Temporary redness or changes in skin tone around the injection site.
• Allergic Reaction: Uncommon, but possible with certain products.
• Vascular Complications: In very rare cases, filler may accidentally enter a blood vessel, leading to more serious side effects.

To minimise risks, it’s important to have the procedure performed by a qualified and experienced professional. Your doctor or injector will provide detailed aftercare instructions to support recovery and optimise results.
