Cheek fillers are one of the most effective non-surgical cosmetic procedures for facial rejuvenation. At our Chiswick Clinic in West London, cheek dermal fillers are used to restore lost volume, improve contour, and support the mid-face. As we age, the cheeks tend to sag, lose volume, and show visible signs of ageing such as hollowing, smile lines, and nasolabial folds. Cheek filler treatments offer a safe, tailored, and natural-looking solution to address these changes.
Cheeks are more than just soft tissue—they are a structural anchor for the face. Dermal fillers restore cheek volume, support surrounding areas, and soften the transition from under-eye to cheek. Whether you’re looking to lift your cheekbones, improve sagging cheeks, or contour your mid-face, our expert treatments deliver subtle yet long-lasting results.

Cheek fillers are often the first step in any non-surgical full-face restoration. Cheeks provide the central lift and support to the face. When the cheekbone area is enhanced, it has a positive ripple effect on surrounding areas such as the lower face, nasolabial lines, and tear troughs. This is why Dr. Bela frequently starts dermal filler treatments in the cheek area—especially the bony part of the cheek and then moves to the mid-cheek.
Cheek filler injection points typically include:
These strategic injection points lift and volumise, helping to fill sagging cheeks, correct asymmetries, and soften nasolabial folds. The filler is injected deep under the skin and adapted to the volume of the area being treated, using a specific filler material chosen for its lifting and contouring ability.
We only use FDA-approved fillers including premium hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers such as Juvederm, Teosyal and Revanesse. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the skin that attracts moisture, improves elasticity, and helps stimulate collagen production. Fillers restore cheek volume and offer long-lasting effects while remaining reversible and safe.
Different types of dermal fillers are used depending on your anatomy and goals. Some are more structural for high cheekbone cheek fillers, while others are softer for mid-cheek contour and facial blending.
Cheek filler injections are quick and well tolerated. Each cheek filler treatment begins with a thorough consultation to assess your facial structure, discuss desired results, and develop a personalised plan.
During the treatment:
Patients often report feeling only a light pressure during the dermal filler injection, with no need for numbing cream.
Swelling and bruising are typically minimal. Any bruising at the injection site tends to resolve within a few days. Unlike more invasive procedures like cheek implants, there is no downtime. The cheek filler may take up to two weeks to fully integrate, but you will see results immediately.
We recommend avoiding strenuous activity for 24 hours, and allowing time for the filler to settle. The results can last from 12 to 18 months depending on the type of cheek filler, your metabolism, and facial mobility. Some mild swelling or bruising may occur but is usually short-lived.
Injectable cheek fillers are a great solution for:
By injecting dermal fillers into the cheeks, we also reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, including smile lines and lower-face folds.
When performed by an experienced care provider like Dr. Bela, the risk of complications is very low. However, all injectable procedures carry potential side effects. Common reactions include:
In rare cases, filler may cause unevenness or more serious effects like the risk of infection or vascular compromise. This is why we always perform cheek filler injections with safety in mind and keep reversal agents on site to dissolve the filler if needed.
Over the years, Dr. Bela has identified multiple melanomas on aesthetic patients—often in areas they hadn’t noticed themselves. In one notable case, during a Botox consultation, he spotted a small but suspicious lesion on a patient’s forehead. When reviewing previous treatment photos, it became clear that the melanoma had gradually developed over time, becoming increasingly visible across sessions. Despite its small size, the lesion was already an early invasive melanoma—but was thankfully detected in time. This case is just one of several examples highlighting how melanoma can remain hidden in plain sight. For this reason, Dr. Bela now offers a discounted mole check for all existing aesthetic patients, making it easier to combine cosmetic care with life-saving early detection.
All cheek filler treatments are carried out by Dr. Bela, a specialist in dermal filler treatments and facial aesthetics. With over 14 years of experience and a detailed understanding of facial anatomy, Dr. Bela offers safe and effective cheek fillers that deliver natural, proportional results.
