Cheek filler, planned with your nurse
Cheeks often change shape slowly, and a lot of people notice it first in photos or when they’re tired. We use hyaluronic acid filler aimed at the look of fuller, more balanced cheeks, after your nurse assesses the area properly.
What cheek filler costs
Cheek filler is priced per syringe. How many you need is something you and your nurse decide together, and less is often enough.
What to expect
Good to know
Who it suits
People who feel their cheeks look flatter or less even than they used to, and who want a gradual, modest change rather than a dramatic one.
Your nurse may say cheek filler isn’t the right fit, or that one syringe is plenty. That’s part of the consult, not a sales pitch.
Before your visit
Bring a few recent photos you like of yourself, from different angles. It helps your nurse see what you mean.
A lot of our clients book cheek filler as a lunch-break appointment. That works, just know you might have some swelling heading back to the office.
The first two weeks
Your cheeks may look fuller at first because of swelling. Give it about two weeks before judging the result.
Avoid facials, massage and pressing on the area for a couple of weeks, and call us if you notice anything unusual.
Risks, plainly
Swelling, bruising, tenderness and redness are common for a few days, and the area can feel firm or slightly lumpy while it settles. Less common risks include infection, asymmetry and a reaction to the product. Your nurse reviews all risks at your consult.
Rarely, filler can block a blood vessel. Signs include severe or increasing pain, skin turning pale, dusky or blotchy, or any change in your vision. If you notice any of these, call us at 416 537 3333 right away, or go to the nearest emergency department if you can’t reach us.
Your questions
How much is cheek filler?
$999, plus HST. Your nurse plans the amount with you at your consult. Consultations are often complimentary.
How many syringes will I need?
It depends on your face and the look you’re after. Some people are happy with one, others plan two over time. Your nurse will give you an honest number, and you never have to do it all in one visit.
How long does cheek filler last?
Often around 12 to 18 months, though it varies with your metabolism, the product and how active you are. Results vary from person to person.
Is cheek filler painful?
Most people find it quite manageable. We use numbing cream first, and the filler contains a local anaesthetic. You’ll feel pressure and some pinches, and you can ask us to pause any time.
How much downtime should I plan for?
Many people go back to their day straight after. Swelling, bruising and tenderness are common for a few days, so we wouldn’t book it right before a big event.
Who will do my treatment?
Nurse Jade or Nurse Tammy, both Registered Nurses, working under our medical director’s orders. You’ll meet them at the consult, so you’re not walking in to a stranger.
I’ve never had filler. Where should I start?
Start small. One syringe, a two-week check-in, then decide. First-timers are often surprised by how much a little changes.
Can cheek filler be reversed?
Hyaluronic acid filler can usually be broken down with an enzyme injection if needed. Your nurse would assess you first and talk you through what that involves.
Can I combine cheeks with another area?
Yes, often. Cheeks are sometimes planned alongside chin or jawline. Facial balancing ($1,650) is our planned combination option, and your nurse will tell you if it suits you.
Is this the same as Sculptra or Radiesse?
No. Sculptra and Radiesse are different injectables, used for facial wrinkles and folds, and they work in a different way. They have their own page, and your nurse can explain the difference in person.
Do I need to pay a deposit?
We ask for a $50 deposit when you book, credited to your appointment. If you’re new, you also get $50 toward your first treatment of $200 or more within 30 days, one per client.
