Overview & Procedure

What the treatment is and how it's performed

What it is

The cheeks lose volume with age, and the jawline can become less defined. A firm hyaluronic acid filler is placed deep, often close to the bone, to support the cheekbones and give the jawline a clearer contour. Well-placed volume in the cheeks can also make the nasolabial fold a little less visible.

  • Usually 1–2 ml per side for the cheeks.
  • The jawline often needs 2–4 ml in total, preferably over two treatments.
  • A check-up after two weeks.

  1. The practitioner goes through your health, your wishes and what is realistic.
  2. With your consent, photos are taken before the treatment.
  3. The skin is cleaned and disinfected. Numbing cream can be applied.
  4. The filler is placed in small amounts with a fine needle or a blunt cannula.
  5. The practitioner checks the shape as they work and finishes with cooling.

  • Avoid alcohol for the last day, and supplements such as fish oil and ginkgo for the last week. This can mean fewer bruises.
  • Come without make-up on the area.
  • If you have had cold sores, tell the clinic before treatment around the mouth.

The treatment itself takes 20–40 minutes. With the consultation and numbing cream, the appointment takes about an hour.

Experience & Recovery

Pain level, downtime and healing

Most people rate the discomfort 2–4 out of 10. Many fillers contain a local anaesthetic, and the practitioner can also apply numbing cream.

  • Common: swelling, redness, tenderness and small bruises where the needle went in. These usually settle within a few days to a week.
  • Uncommon: small lumps or irregularities. They often even out by themselves, and the practitioner can adjust them at the check-up.
  • Rare: infection, a delayed inflammatory reaction with lumps that appear weeks or months after the treatment, or a bluish tint in the skin if the filler lies too close to the surface.
  • Very rare: the filler can block a blood vessel. This can damage the skin and, at worst, the eyesight. The practitioner must therefore know the signs and be able to treat it at once.

  • Do not touch, press or massage the area for the first six hours unless the practitioner asks you to.
  • Wait until the next day before wearing make-up.
  • Avoid hard exercise, saunas, steam rooms, hot baths and alcohol for the first 24–48 hours.
  • A clean cold pack in short sessions can reduce the swelling.
  • Sleep with your head slightly raised for the first nights.
  • Wait two weeks before dental treatment and other facial treatments, such as laser and peels, unless the practitioner advises otherwise.

Usually 1–3 days of swelling. The jaw can feel tender when you chew for the first days. Small bruises can last up to two weeks. Have the treatment at least two weeks before an important event.

Expectations & Safety

Who it's for and safety information

  • Filler adds volume and contour. It does not lift sagging skin, and it does not soften expression lines the way muscle-relaxing treatment does.
  • The body breaks hyaluronic acid down over time. If needed, a doctor can dissolve the filler with an enzyme.
  • It is safer to build up the result over two treatments than to place a large amount at once.
  • The final result is assessed after two weeks, when the swelling has gone down. The practitioner can then adjust if needed.

  • Flat cheeks or cheeks that have lost volume.
  • A wish for clearer cheekbones or a clearer jawline.
  • Imbalance between the two sides of the face.

  • Anyone who wants to lift sagging skin. Other treatments may suit better.
  • Anyone who wants a result that lasts forever.
  • Anyone who cannot accept a few days of swelling and bruising.

Filler in the cheeks and jaw lies deep and often lasts 12–18 months. A smaller top-up maintains the result.

  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding.
  • Infection, wounds, cold sores or inflammation in the area.
  • Known allergy to hyaluronic acid or local anaesthetics, or an earlier reaction to filler.
  • Bleeding disorders. If you take blood-thinning medicine, tell the clinic, but do not stop taking it without agreeing this with your doctor.
  • Active autoimmune disease or medicines that suppress the immune system, unless a doctor has cleared you.
  • Permanent filler already in the area.

Contact the clinic at once if you get severe or increasing pain, pale, white or bluish skin, a net-like pattern in the skin or blisters in the area. Call 113 if your vision becomes blurred or lost. Also contact the clinic if you get a fever, increasing redness, warmth or pus, which can be signs of infection.
