How much dermal filler is required in the cheeks?
Share this articleInjectable treatments, such as dermal cheek fillers, date back to the late 1800s shortly after the invention of the syringe. However, it wasn’t until 1981, when bovine collagen became the first FDA-approved injectable filler for cosmetic use, and non-invasive injections became more widely available. Nowadays, there are various dermal filler treatments and products that address certain facial concerns in different areas.
If you are seeking dermal cheek filler treatment, you may want to understand the complexity of the procedure and what you can expect. Depending on specific factors, the amount of dermal filler can vary when applied to the cheeks.
This guide will take a closer look at what dermal cheek fillers are, how much filler is typically applied, and other considerations you should make before seeking treatment.

What are dermal cheek fillers?
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a substance that is naturally produced by the body, especially around the eyes, joints and skin, and helps reduce wrinkles and lines. However, as we age, the body stops producing as much hyaluronic acid.
Dermal fillers contain a high concentration of hyaluronic acid and are one way to introduce the substance back into the body and help stimulate collagen production. This injectable treatment is ideal for replacing lost volume, helping boost hydration in the skin, and reducing wrinkles in certain facial areas, including the cheeks.
During dermal cheek filler treatment, hyaluronic acid fillers will be injected sub dermally to address certain problem areas. This may include:
- Marionette lines.
- Undefined cheekbones.
- Nasolabial folds.
- Acne scarring on the cheeks.

Which factors determine how much filler you will need for your cheeks?
It is important to first book a consultation to find out whether you are suitable for dermal cheek fillers. Certain factors may determine how much filler you will need in the cheeks for a natural appearance, which can be addressed by your cosmetic doctor. These include:
- How deep the wrinkles are.
- How much volume the face has lost.
- Your specific face shape and features.
- The type of filler treatment.

How much dermal filler is required in the cheeks?
Most dermal filler brands, such as Juvéderm and Restylane, will measure and sell their syringe products with 1 ml of filler. These injections are applied to the cheeks, in areas such as along the cheekbones and lower in the face to address nasolabial folds. The hyaluronic acid filler will be applied in small amounts, and injected via fine needles.
However, it is important to note that the quantity of cheek filler required will depend solely on the client and should be decided by the medical practitioner.

How often should you top up your dermal cheek fillers?
Once injected into the cheeks, dermal fillers can last for up to 12 months; this is typically longer than lip filler treatment due to the midface area not being as active.
It is recommended to review your dermal cheek filler treatments bi-annually if you wish to keep this look. However, you may have treatments when you or your doctor feels it is necessary. Find out more about dermal filler treatment at the Dr Nyla website.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take for cheek filler to look normal?
After the treatment, you will be able to see the results right away. However, natural swelling and bruising will most likely occur around the treatment area at this time. These side effects will often last for a few days after the dermal cheek filler treatment.
To find out more about how long dermal cheek fillers will last, visit the Dr Nyla website.
What should you look for in a practitioner when considering cheek filler?
As dermal fillers are not regulated in the UK, anybody can provide dermal filler treatment. Although certain clinics may provide a cheaper treatment, they may not have the appropriate accreditations nor skilled practitioners to inject dermal fillers, leading to botched or sub-optimal results.
Therefore, you must seek practitioners such as Dr Nyla who are medically qualified and have years of experience to achieve the enhanced appearance dermal fillers can offer.
