As we age the muscles and fat shrink and descend with gravity, which can lead to sagging around the chin area, naso-labial lines and folds with the loss of volume and fullness of the cheek, therefore replacing this volume in the cheeks is important when rejuvenating the face.
One of the main benefits of replacing volume in the cheeks is that it lifts the face this reducing the nasolabial lines and jowls, reverting the face to a more youthful appearance.
The results are immediate, a single treatment with minimal downtime and lasting 6-12 months. Safe, pain free and quick with minimal bruising, effectively restoring youthful volume and reviving jowls and naso-labial lines whilst correcting facial asymmetry.
Anaesthetic cream will be applied to numb the skin and the filler used also acts as an anaesthetic. After the treatment, minor swelling may occur within the first 24 hours and make up should not be worn for 12 hours.
You will be advised not to take part in vigorous exercise, sunbathe or consume alcohol. Any swelling will resolve within the first few days of treatment, usually completely resolved within 10 days.
