Cheeks & Forehead

Restore volume and lift to the mid-face and forehead for a naturally refreshed appearance

Face Concern

Sculpted Cheeks, Smooth Forehead

Volume loss in the cheeks and forehead is one of the first visible signs of facial ageing. Hollowing and deepening lines can make you appear more tired or older than you feel.

Our volumising fillers and biostimulators are placed with precision to restore natural contour, lift the mid-face, and smooth forehead lines, all without surgery.

What You Might Notice

Hollowing or flatness in the mid-face and temples that wasn't there before

Cheekbones that appear less prominent or defined than they used to

Nasolabial folds (smile lines) that have deepened without any change in weight

A persistent look of tiredness or mild sadness that doesn't reflect how you feel

A subtle drop in the brow tail or general heaviness across the upper face

Why It Happens

Fat Compartment Loss

From the mid-twenties, facial fat pads gradually lose volume. The compartments that once supported cheek fullness begin to deflate and descend, leading to hollowing and a flattened mid-face contour.

Collagen and Elastin Decline

Structural proteins in the skin weaken progressively with age. As collagen and elastin diminish, the skin loses its ability to hold itself upright. Lines set in and the overlying tissue begins to sag.

Bone Resorption

The facial skeleton loses bone density over time, particularly around the cheekbones and orbital rim. As this bony foundation recedes, the soft tissue above it has less support and begins to descend.

Gravitational Descent

Over the years, soft tissue that once sat high on the face gradually shifts downward. Volume that previously filled the cheeks migrates toward the lower face, contributing to jowling and nasolabial heaviness.

Genetics and Lifestyle

Genetics influence the rate and pattern of volume loss. Prolonged sun exposure, smoking, and significant weight fluctuations can accelerate the breakdown of collagen and facial structure.

Sun Damage

Cumulative UV exposure accelerates collagen breakdown in the cheeks and forehead, thinning the skin and reducing its structural support independently of the natural ageing process.
