Cheek fillers?

21 replies

princessTiasmum · 02/01/2019 13:34

Anyone had cheek fillers, and what was the result?
I have read that they have the effect of slightly lifting face [jowls ]
Thinking of having them soon, but not a lot of fillers i have small face and would look like a hamster if too much

I have them and yes they did lift my face slightly, but only a little. They pulled out my nasolabial folds a tiny bit - I was advised by the injector against injecting straight into these as it can make the face look heavy and older.

I had 2ml in the 'pads' of the cheeks and cheekbones. Love the result and would have 3ml next time. I look more like I did 6 or 7 years ago and nobody has noticed I've had fillers but I have been told I look good.

I'm 40, for context.

Monkey thank you , for your reply,do you mean its best to have them in the upper part of your face,i have a slight drooping of nasolabial fold on one side so hoping to correct that, but not very jowly at all
I use a Nu face microcurrent device every night and i think that has kept jowls at bay a bit, but i am much older than you, just hoping for a bit of a lift,how long do they last approx, ?
Wish it could help my neck lol, Grin

Yes, that's what my injector said and she is very experienced and a GP so I took her guidance.

Cheek fillers last 7-8 months or so, maybe up to a year.

My advice would be to get a free consultation with a medically-qualified person at a reputable clinic. If you are in the South West I can recommend one.

I have an appointment now with a recommended dentist who is very experienced in fillers and botox etc, she also does thread lifts, but i am not going as far as that, my daughter has had one, a few years ago, and doesnt think much to it, and i believe some plastic surgeons dont recommend it either
Thank you for you advice

@monkey I’d like can your SW contact please? Also an idea of what she charges please. Thanks

HappenstanceMarmite · 15/01/2019 13:20

*ignore the “can”

princessTiasmum · 15/01/2019 13:37

HappenstanceMarmite although i am pleased with them, she wants me to go again in 4 weeks, to have more put in, as she doesnt put a lot in the first time, rather than too much,
I can see why now the bit of swelling has gone down, but it means another payment,
I do appreciate why, and dont want them overfilled, but because i am older i have lost a lot of fat from my face
I can pm you the dentists name but it might depend where you are
I have made another appointment in 3 weeks, but it was even difficult for me to get in,
I am in North Yorkshire by the way
I have full confidence in this lady and i agree its better to have a smaller amount to start with
A bit shocked at the cost but worth it for a good result
£400

HappenstanceMarmite · 15/01/2019 16:59

No problem princess 😂

princessTiasmum · 16/01/2019 14:02

I am going back to have more filler next month, but on one side which has a bit of droop, is where i will have more. i am hoping the extra filler will sort that,as it is the main reason i went for fillers
Can i ask how much is a usual charge for about 2 ml please
I am generally pleased with what was done but that side does need a bit more

Following with interest, monkey I would be interested in your SW contact too. thank you

MonkeyGoneToHeaven · 19/02/2019 18:13

@HappenstanceMarmite @Atalune

Sorry, I just saw you’d asked for details of the SW contact. It’s Dr Ros Debenham at Radiance Medispa in Exeter. There’s a free consultation and I paid £550 for 2ml. This is expensive but I wanted someone respected and well qualified and she is both.

princessTiasmum · 19/02/2019 21:34

I have had my second lot of fillers last week, and very pleased now
I have posted a photo on th "fantastic skin, new year and nu faces", if you would like to see the result

OP posts:
princessTiasmum · 19/02/2019 21:38

Monkey did you have only the one lot of injections? i was a bit miffed at having to pay twice to be honest, as i thought surely the practitioner can tell how much they have put in and if more needed at the time of treatment

A friend of mine had this procedure and I have to say it made her look really puffy. It didn’t look great at all. I’d really research this

princessTiasmum · 19/02/2019 21:56

Maybe your friend had too much put in,or in the wrong area,when first done it looks a bit puffy but after a couple of days the slight swelling goes downor maybe she didnt need it ,or had too much put in,
I only had it done because of losing my fat pads in my cheeks , due to ageing
