I'm Cristina, an NMC-registered aesthetic nurse, and I provide cheek filler treatments across Norwich and Norfolk. Whether you're looking to restore volume that's naturally diminished with age, create more defined cheekbones, or simply add lift to your face, cheek filler can make a real difference. The treatment takes about 30 minutes, and I can come to you for your appointment.
What is Cheek Filler?
Cheek filler is made from hyaluronic acid, a substance that your skin naturally contains. I inject it into the cheeks to add volume, define the cheekbones, or lift sagging skin. It's a straightforward procedure that can transform your whole face by adding back what time and gravity take away.
The beauty of cheek filler is that it does more than just add volume. When placed correctly, it can create the illusion of higher cheekbones, make your face look more lifted, and even give the appearance of a slimmer face. It's remarkably effective and looks natural when done well.
Who is it For?
Cheek filler suits people who've noticed their cheeks looking a bit flatter, especially as they've got older. If you've lost volume in your face or you're just looking for more definition in your cheekbones, this could be for you. Some people want a subtle refresh, while others are looking for more noticeable lift and sculpting.
You might be someone who's always wanted higher cheekbones but never had them naturally, or you might have had them that have softened over time. Either way, we can chat about what would work for your face shape and what would make you feel more confident.
What to Expect
Consultation
Your consultation starts with a video call where we talk through what you're hoping to achieve with your cheeks. I'll get a sense of your face shape and discuss the options. Then on your treatment day, we'll meet in person for 20 minutes. I'll do a full face assessment, show you exactly where the filler will go, discuss how much you might need, and walk through realistic expectations. Once you're comfortable with the plan, we'll go straight into the treatment.
Treatment
After numbing cream takes effect, I'll use a fine needle or cannula to place the filler in the cheeks. The treatment is precise, and placement is key to getting natural-looking results. You'll feel some pressure, but pain is minimal. The whole process usually takes 20 to 30 minutes.
Aftercare
Avoid the sun, extreme heat, and intense exercise for 48 hours. Sleep on your back the first night so you don't put pressure on your cheeks. You can ice them if they're swollen. Light swelling and tenderness are normal and usually settle within 24 to 48 hours. Makeup is fine to wear straight away if you're gentle around the injection areas.
Results
You'll see an immediate difference, though the full result becomes clearer once any swelling settles, usually within a week. The result will last around 9 to 12 months, sometimes longer. Most people come back for a refresh once a year to maintain their look, though some decide to stop and let the filler dissolve naturally over time.
The best results happen when the filler is subtle and proportional to your face. I'm aiming for people to notice that you look refreshed and glowing, not that you've had something done. If you ever want to adjust at a future appointment, we can do that too.
Pricing
Cheek filler starts at £225 per ml during our launch offer (regular price £275 per ml). Most people find 1ml to 2ml gives a noticeable result depending on what they're aiming for. For more information on pricing and package options, visit our pricing page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Not when it's done properly. The goal is to restore volume where you've lost it naturally, not to overfill. I place the filler strategically to create definition and height, not bulk. During your consultation, we'll discuss exactly what you're aiming for, and I'll show you where the filler will go.
It depends on your face shape and what you're hoping to achieve. Some people just want subtle volume restoration, while others are looking for more defined cheekbones. I can work with you to figure out what amount makes sense. You don't have to commit to the maximum straight away.
Cheek filler typically lasts 9 to 12 months, often a bit longer than filler in the lips. This varies from person to person depending on your metabolism and lifestyle. Most people come back for a refresh once a year, though some stretch it to 15 months.
Yes, that's one of the best uses for cheek filler. By placing filler on the apples of the cheeks and the cheekbone itself, I can create more definition and lift. It can actually make your face look slimmer and more sculpted. It's a clever way to enhance your natural bone structure.
Recovery is usually straightforward. You might have some light swelling and tenderness for a day or two. Avoid heavy exercise, saunas, and intense heat for 48 hours. You can wear makeup right away, though I'd keep it gentle around the injection points. Most people are back to normal within 24 hours.
