In accordance with Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) regulations, we are unable to provide detailed information about specific treatments online. Such information may be misinterpreted as the promotion of prescription-only (Schedule 4) medications – this is not permitted under TGA guidelines.

For this reason, a consultation with one of our practitioners is required. During your comprehensive consultation, your practitioner will carefully assess your skin, discuss your concerns, and provide education around suitable treatment options. A personalised treatment plan will then be created to address your individual needs.

Treatment costs will vary depending on your tailored plan and will be discussed with you in detail during your consultation.

How Cheek Enhancement Works

Over time, the fat pads in the mid-face shrink, shift downward, or redistribute, reducing fullness in the cheeks.

You may notice:

  • Bone resorption: The underlying cheekbones and maxilla may lose subtle bone density, affecting facial projection and support.
  • Skin and soft tissue laxity: With reduced collagen, elastin, and hydration, the overlying skin can sag or wrinkle.
  • Gravity and tissue descent: Combined with loss of structural support, lower tissues may shift downward, deepening folds and reducing cheek prominence.

Cheek enhancement is an approach that aim to support areas affected by volume changes while preserving natural movement.

Why people consider mid-face treatments

Many individuals notice changes in this region as some of the earliest signs of ageing.

Common concerns include:

  • A loss of natural fullness or support
  • Shadowing or deepening of folds near the nose and mouth
  • Reduced definition through the mid-face region

Treatment in this area may help restore balance and provide subtle rejuvenation. The specific approach is personalised, and outcomes vary between individuals.

The benefits of treatment to the mid-face may vary between individuals, however treatment may result in:

  • Improved support and structure in the mid-face
  • Softer appearance of facial folds
  • A refreshed, balanced look that develops gradually

 

FAQs

What does the treatment involve?

Prior to any treatment, a thorough consultation and treatment planning with your doctor or nurse will determine your suitability to the treatment and assess expectations. Clinical photography and skin assessment will also take place.

Each treatment is different depending on an individual’s anatomy and facial structure.

Only registered health practitioners perform these treatments, and all equipment used is sterile and single-use.

How long do results last?

Results vary between individuals and are not permanent. The duration of visible changes differs from person to person and may be influenced by factors such as age, lifestyle, metabolism, and skin condition. Ongoing review and maintenance options may be discussed with your practitioner as part of an individualised treatment plan.

What happens after my treatment?

Mild swelling, redness, or bruising can occur following cheek enhancement. These effects generally resolve within a few days to a week.

A follow-up appointment will be recommended to review your results and discuss whether additional treatments may be beneficial.

Your practitioner will provide personalised aftercare instructions to support recovery and optimise your outcome
