Cheek fillers are a subtle yet transformative way to restore youthful definition and harmony to the face. As we age, the cheeks naturally lose volume and elasticity, which can cause the mid-face to appear flatter and deepen folds around the mouth. By carefully restoring this lost structure, cheek fillers create a gentle lift that instantly refreshes your appearance – without looking “done.”
At Omniya Clinic in Knightsbridge, our doctor-led team specialises in natural, precise results tailored to your facial anatomy. Using premium hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers, we enhance contours while maintaining authentic expression.
Treatments start from £350 and are performed in our CQC-registered medical clinic, trusted by patients across London for safety, expertise, and artistry.
Cheek fillers are precise injections of hyaluronic acid (HA) – a naturally occurring molecule that binds water and supports skin structure from within. When injected around and above the cheekbones, HA fillers lift the mid-face, define contour, and soften shadowing, restoring balance and youthful volume.
This non-surgical treatment rejuvenates the face by replacing natural volume lost with age, enhancing cheekbone definition and smoothing fine lines for a refreshed, harmonious appearance. Results are immediate and natural-looking, refining further over the following days as the filler integrates with the skin. On average, cheek filler results last between 9 and 18 months, depending on the product used and individual metabolism.
Cheek fillers are suitable for anyone seeking to restore or enhance natural facial balance. They’re ideal for patients who want subtle lift, contour, and structure, without surgery or significant downtime. At Omniya Clinic in Knightsbridge, treatments are tailored to your anatomy and goals for refined, proportionate results.
Cheek fillers may be suitable if you experience:
Cheek fillers offer a versatile, non-surgical way to restore lift and definition to the mid-face, with results that look natural and refined. Compared to surgical alternatives like cheek implants or facelifts, dermal fillers provide a quick, low-risk treatment with minimal downtime and adjustable results.
At Omniya Clinic in Knightsbridge, we use premium hyaluronic acid fillers, including Juvéderm and Teosyal, selected to match your tissue quality and aesthetic goals. Each treatment is performed by our doctor-led team to ensure precision, safety, and natural results that enhance rather than change your appearance.
Your journey begins with a detailed consultation, where your clinician carefully assesses your facial proportions, skin quality, and goals. From there, a bespoke treatment plan is designed to enhance your natural features with precision and balance.
Depending on your needs, the procedure may involve needle and/or cannula techniques to deliver the filler accurately and comfortably. A topical numbing cream can be applied to reduce any sensitivity, though most patients describe only a light scratch or mild pressure during treatment. The procedure typically takes 15-30 minutes and requires no downtime.
Your results will refine gradually, with the best finish visible around two weeks after treatment as the filler integrates naturally with your skin’s tissues.
At Omniya Clinic in Knightsbridge, we believe beautiful results come from precision, experience, and a personalised approach. Every cheek filler treatment is tailored to your unique facial structure, goals, and skin quality, ensuring a refreshed, natural outcome that ages gracefully over time.
We use both cannula and needle methods, selected according to your anatomy and treatment goals:
Your clinician will decide the best approach during consultation to optimise accuracy, comfort, and safety.

Dermal fillers can be used effectively to restore lost volume, that occurs as we age. This often contributes to sagging and jowling. With skilful placement of dermal filler, we can lift and support the face naturally without the need for a surgical intervention.
Dermal fillers smooth fine lines on the forehead, and also on the lower face. For those moderate lines, which appear around the mouth-to-chin, the nose-to-lip corners, fillers can be administered to be soften the visibility.
Chins and cheeks can be remodelled, giving the face more definition. Furthermore, scars can also be reduced, with lips being more defined and enhanced, both naturally and subtly.
Additionally, skin rejuvenating and boosting fillers can increase skin hydration, particularly on the face, neck, hands and decolletage.
Ordinarily, you can expect your natural looking results to last between 9-18 months for cheek fillers, although this does depend on a variety of external factors, including your body’s own metabolism.
After your initial consultation, the treatment itself would usually take around 30 minutes.
There is no one size fits all, when it comes to cheek fillers, or any dermal filler treatment. Each patient is very different. This is why at Omniya Clinic we offer thorough consultations, detailed review of any medication you may be taking, your facial structure and any skin conditions before your treating practitioner decides on which filler would be most suitable for you.
The dermal fillers which we use at Omniya Clinic are the leading brands in the cosmetic market, including Juvederm and Teosyal. They are considered relatively long lasting, and made from hyaluronic acid. We advise our patients that the product typically breaks down, and is absorbed into the body after anywhere between 6 to 18 months, depending on various factors.
There are a number of factors which determine the longevity of dermal fillers. These include:
This treatment is unlike a surgical procedure, such as cheek implants or augmentation, where you would undergo cuts and incisions. The pain or discomfort level is minimal, and can be managed with local anaesthetic cream to numb the treated area.
Typically, patients may note the sensation of a small scratch as the needle is administered or a slight sting as the filler is applied.
At Omniya, we only allow medically trained, highly skilled professionals to provide treatment to our clients. Your welfare and your results are our highest priority.
You should see some of the results of your cheek fillers right away. However, it may take a day or so to settle down so full results should be visible within a few days.
Prior to every injectable treatment at Omniya Clinic, you will have an in-depth consultation with your clinician to assess and examine your goals, motivation and treatment expectation.
Further, unlike most cosmetic clinics, we are governed and regulated by the Care Quality Commission to ensure we exceed the cosmetic industry standards for safety. In addition to our clinic regulations, we only work with medically qualified practitioners to administer cosmetic treatments.
Whilst there are risks associated with almost all treatments, you can be assured that at Omniya Clinic, we go that extra mile to reduce the risks for you.
Cheek fillers are considered to be a safe treatment, but there could be some side-effects such as irritation at the site of the injection, bruising and swelling. Bruising is usually as a result of blood rushing to the treatment site to repair the part of the skin that is broken when the injection is administrated. Usually, any bruising from cheek fillers would dissipate over a few days. Medications and lifestyle choices may also affect your treatment.
Even non-invasive treatments come with risks, although these are relatively small. We would only administer cheek fillers in London after a face-to-face consultation, where all risks would be explained and your suitability for treatment would be assessed. Cheek fillers are, by nature, considered a safe treatment if administered by a trained professional.
Cheek fillers, when performed by qualified practitioners, are a fairly straight forward treatment with minimal downtime. However, as with most procedures, there are potential risks.
Common side effects or risks can include:
The risks are higher when the treatment is carried out by an inexperienced or non-medical practitioner. It is crucial that you see an experienced medical practitioner who can provide you with the best treatment, whilst also being able to manage any complications immediately.
During your initial consultation, a full medical history will be taken to assess whether the treatment is right for you. If you have any bleeding disorders, are pregnant, are breastfeeding or are allergic to the compounds used in fillers, you may not be able to have treatment. If you are on blood thinning medication, you may have to ask your doctor if you could stop treatment for the weeks leading up to your treatment.

Your treatment begins with a detailed consultation to assess your facial proportions, skin quality, and goals.

A topical numbing cream is available if needed, though most patients describe the sensation as a light scratch or mild pressure. The procedure usually takes 15–30 minutes with minimal downtime.
Aftercare is simple. Avoid makeup for 24 hours and strenuous exercise, saunas, or alcohol for 48 hours. Try to sleep on your back and avoid pressure on treated areas. Mild swelling or bruising is normal for 2–3 days, and results refine naturally over two weeks. See our aftercare advice here.
For first-time treatments, the typical volume is around 1–2 ml in total, depending on your anatomy and desired result. Your clinician will determine the right amount for subtle, balanced enhancement. A review at 2–4 weeks can assess whether a small top-up would optimise results.
During your consultation, we will advise you on the best treatments and products to use at home.
