How cheek fillers work
Filler is placed along and beneath the cheekbones to replace lost volume and support the tissues above. Because the cheeks hold up the mid-face, restoring them can also soften smile lines and the hollow look under the eyes, giving a lifted, refreshed appearance without changing who you are.
How chin fillers work
Chin filler adds projection or length to a small or receding chin, improving the balance between the nose, lips and chin. It is often combined with jawline contouring for a sharper, more defined lower face, a popular choice for men as well as women.
Who are cheek and chin fillers for?
- Adults whose cheeks have flattened or hollowed with age or weight loss
- People with a small, short or receding chin
- Men and women who want a more defined, balanced profile
If fullness under the chin comes from fat rather than a weak chin, double chin reduction may help more. Fillers are not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or with an active skin infection.
Your treatment, step by step
- Free consultation: your doctor assesses your facial proportions and agrees a plan with you.
- Numbing: a numbing cream is applied for comfort.
- Treatment: filler is placed with a fine needle or cannula, usually taking 30–45 minutes.
- Check: you review the result with your doctor before you leave.
Results and how long they last
You will see the difference straight away, with the final result once any swelling settles over one to two weeks. Cheek and chin fillers typically last around 12 to 18 months, depending on the product and your metabolism.
Recovery and aftercare
Mild swelling, tenderness or bruising can last a few days. Most people return to work the next day or even the same day.
- Avoid pressing, massaging or sleeping face-down on the area for a few days
- Skip strenuous exercise, saunas and alcohol for 24–48 hours
- Use a wrapped cold compress to ease swelling
Is it safe?
Hyaluronic acid fillers are widely used and well tolerated, and because they can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase, the result is reversible. As with any filler, rare but serious complications, such as a filler blocking a blood vessel, can occur. That is why fillers should only be injected by a qualified doctor who knows facial anatomy and can act immediately if needed. At Cutera Aesthetics, every filler treatment is performed by our doctors.
