Cheek augmentation using dermal filler

The onset of ageing can be unkind. As we gradually lose so many vital components such as bone mass, tissue, fat, elastin, collagen and hyaluronic acid from our faces as we grow older, detrimental effects such as skin sagging, dehydration and loss of volume can occur. One of the key areas that can suffer with age is the cheeks and lower face.

What happens during the treatment?

To ensure that you remain comfortable throughout your treatment, a small amount of topical numbing cream will be applied to the area of injection.

As most dermal fillers now contain Lidocaine, an anaesthetic which numbs at the point of injection, you will feel very little discomfort. Dr. Somji will then use a cannula (a blunt needle used for larger areas) or a traditional needle to inject the dermal filler in to the cheek area.
He will then massage the dermal filler with his fingers to give a natural contour and smooth appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do cheek fillers hurt?

It is helpful if the area to be treated is shaved and free of creams, lotions or perfumes before you arrive for your appointment.

As dermal fillers contain Lidocaine, you should not feel any pain during this treatment. If Dr. Somji uses a cannula you may experience a little tugging and pulling which is completely normal. You may also feel a sensation of pressure as the product is injected in to the skin. These sensations can be a little strange but not uncomfortable. If you are extremely sensitive, Dr. Somji may decide to inject an anaesthetic prior to the treatment so that you are completely comfortable.

Is there any downtime?

There is no downtime following the treatment, and you can return to your daily activities straight away.

Some people may experience a slight warmth or redness in the treated areas, but this is unusual and should disappear within a few hours.

What are dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable substances used to sculpt, plump and give volume to weak and sagging areas of the face such as the lips, temples, chin, nose and the cheeks.

Made from a naturally occurring substance within the body called Hyaluronic Acid (HA), dermal fillers mimic and replace the natural HA that is lost over time and when contained in a more viscous gel substance, can create a lifting effect to the lower face and cheek area.

When injected in to the cheeks, nose to mouth lines can be reduced and jowls can be lifted as well as the cheeks taking on a rounder, more sculpted appearance.

Am I suitable for dermal fillers for the cheeks?

Before you undergo any non-surgical treatment here at Dr. MediSpa, Dr. Somji will ask you to attend a no obligation consultation to assess your unique concerns, expected results and to ensure you are medically and emotionally fit and well for treatment. He will then decide whether dermal fillers for the cheeks would be an appropriate treatment for you.

I am halfway through my treatment programme but so far very happy with the results and service. I have made a big financial commitment but after initial consultations, feel well informed and believe my expectations have been managed appropriately. Everyone in the salon is very friendly and helpful and I feel comfortable and well looked after when I'm there. Ellie is very knowledgeable and thorough. Would highly recommend.

The only place I trust with my face. I’m quite particular and have a medical background, so I don’t say that lightly. Everything is done properly, with care and precision, never rushed. Ellie is incredibly thorough and consistent, and Olaya has genuinely helped me get my confidence and my skin back. Professional, honest, and results-driven. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

I have been seeing Dr Somji regularly and exclusively for 10 years (usually every 3/5 months) and have always trusted his expertise I can honestly say he is the best. His clinic team also are fantastic. Last week I had a fire and ice facial with Mariana, it left me glowing and I also had a nice skin care lesson from Mariana, she was very knowledgable and it is certainly a treatment I would book again. Thank you to all the team

Great experience with Dr Munirs guidance, Dr Bhavik Shahs expertise and Claudia who performed the treatment for Dye IPL and Ipixel. The journey was carefully thought out and was a lot less painful than I thought. Thank you all at Dr Medispa!

Fantastic :-) I visited Dr Somji's mid 2025, and through a robust, transparent and consultative process, received treatment for my alopecia. After approximately 5 months from my first round of treatment, there are visible signs of my hair growing back A big shout out to Amz Dhanjal at the front desk for co-ordinating (and buying me a cup of tea from Gails)

I am very impressed with this Clinic. I am so happy with my Lip filler treatments from the very talented and artistic injector Dr Somji, who provided me with NATURAL results! He is very thorough, and won’t do any treatments he doesn’t think are necessary, he actually persuaded me to have less! During the consultation I was educated on all the risks, pros and cons, and measured my facial proportions to work out exactly what was best to suit my face naturally. His theory is ‘less is more’ and I completely agree! I went in thinking I needed jawline filler, lip filler, cheek filler and Botox which is what I’ve been told by other places, being ‘sold too’, in fact all I needed was a touch of lip and chin filler to balance my symmetry and this was absolutely perfect! He’s a master at the Cannula method, I felt minimal discomfort, had 0 bruising because the tip is blunt and my anxiety of injectables is now much less as I now know this is the safest method. I couldn’t recommend Dr Somji any more, professional, patient, understanding, safe and a master Injector! The Drs assistant Elli was very sweet too making sure I felt comfortable through out, embarrassingly held my hand to calm my nerves which I might add really helped! 5 stars!!!!
