Cheeks and jawline
from £420, exact price in your written plan
Support put back where the face has lost it, in small amounts, so you look rested rather than changed.
- What it is
- A hyaluronic acid filler placed deep along the cheekbone or jaw with a fine cannula. It is a medical device, and it can be reversed if needed.
- Who it suits
- Cheeks that have flattened or a jawline that has softened with age. Not for anyone pregnant, breastfeeding or under 18.
- Who it doesn't
- If the change you want would need more than your face can carry, Dr Calloway will say so and suggest less.
- How it feels
- A numbing cream first, then pressure along the bone. Most people say it is easier than they expected.
- Downtime
- A day or two of tenderness, sometimes a small bruise. Most people go back to work the next day.
- How long it lasts
- Twelve to eighteen months.
- Risks
- Bruising, swelling, and rarely a blocked blood vessel, which is why a doctor treats you and why it is reviewed at two weeks.
- Review
- A free check at two weeks, and an adjustment then if it needs one.
Will my face look bigger?
No. The amounts are small and placed on the bone, so the face looks lifted, not fuller.
How much will I need?
Most people need one or two syringes over two visits. Your plan says exactly how many and what they cost.
Can it be undone?
Yes. Dr Calloway can reverse hyaluronic filler, usually within a day or two.
