DERMAL FILLERS · TREATMENT
Cheek fillers
Cheek treatment considers the support and shape of the midface. Carefully selected hyaluronic acid filler may address volume loss without assuming every fold needs a direct injection.
Is it right for me?
It may suit a true volume deficit or a contour goal. Existing fullness, swelling and significant laxity can make added volume a poor choice.
Discuss allergies, previous injectables, active infection, medicines and any healing problems. Tell the clinician if you are pregnant or breastfeeding; elective treatment may need to be deferred because safety information is limited. Do not stop prescribed medicines without advice from the prescriber.
Evidence and realistic expectations.
Clinical studies support particular fillers for particular volume and contour concerns. Material, treatment area and existing anatomy affect the result; a study of one filler cannot validate every product or technique.
Filler adds material beneath the skin. It does not reposition tissue like surgery, treat every cause of a fold or reverse aging. HA filler may be reduced with hyaluronidase, but removal has risks and is not a guaranteed rescue for a complication.
Risks to understand.
Swelling, bruising, lumps, infection and delayed inflammation can occur. Rare injection into a blood vessel can damage skin and cause blindness or stroke. Unusual severe pain or pale, grey or blue skin needs immediate medical assessment; sudden vision changes or stroke symptoms need emergency care without waiting for a routine clinic reply.
What to expect.
Consultation
Discuss your concern, medical history, previous treatments and what you would like to preserve. Dr. Roy will explain suitable options, alternatives, risks and fees before you decide.
Treatment
Dr. Roy assesses the cheek in relation to the eyes, lower face and profile. Selected HA filler is placed according to the agreed contour plan.
Recovery
Swelling, tenderness and bruising can affect the early appearance. Allow time for settling before judging symmetry or planning an event; the recovery period varies by area and product.
Results and review
Early volume change settles over the following weeks. Reassessment is commonly planned at two to four weeks, with longer-term review based on the product.
Number of visits
The plan may be completed in one visit or staged conservatively. A review after settling determines whether further treatment is appropriate.

Will cheek filler remove my nasolabial folds?
It may change how a fold looks when volume loss contributes, but it will not erase every fold. The cheeks and folds are assessed together.
