Middle-face filler, commonly known as cheek filler, is a great way to combat the signs of aging. Due to fat loss, our cheeks are often the first area to show these signs. By restoring volume to this area, you can achieve a more youthful and radiant appearance. In addition, when addressing smile lines or under-eye concerns, improving the appearance of the cheeks indirectly enhances these areas.

You may notice an immediate improvement in cheek volume after the fillers are administered. However, the full effect comes once any swelling and bruising have diminished, which can take 1 to 2 weeks. Follow-up appointments are adviced to assess results and determine if additional filler is necessary to achieve the desired effect.
After receiving cheek fillers, you should avoid exercise and other strenuous activities for at least 24 hours to minimize swelling and bruising. It’s advisable to use ice packs to reduce any swelling and to sleep with your head elevated the first night. Also, avoid excessive heat, such as saunas or hot yoga, for a few days.
The longevity of cheek fillers varies depending on the type of filler used, the amount injected, and your metabolic rate. Generally, you might need a top-up every 12 to 15 months, but some people may find they need it sooner, while others may have results that last longer.
