Face
Marionette & Nasolabial Lines
Restoring cheek support lifts the tissue that has slid down, usually more effectively than treating the fold.
Mid-face support restored
Cheek Fillers in London
Put a photograph from ten years ago beside the mirror and the difference is often in the cheeks: they sat higher, and the lines from nose to mouth were softer. Cheek filler restores that mid-face support on Wimpole Street, so folds and early jowling soften from above. From £400 for 1ml, lasting twelve to eighteen months.

Concerns it addresses
What Cheek Fillers treats
Cheek filler is a firm, highly cross-linked hyaluronic acid gel placed deep, usually onto the bone at the cheekbone rather than into the soft tissue above it. That depth is the whole technique: deep placement creates structural support that lifts, so the face looks rested and naturally you.
Face
Jowls & Sagging Jawline
The jawline frequently starts higher up, which is why the cheek is treated first.
Face
Tear Trough Hollows
Support at the cheekbone lifts the tissue beneath the eye without anything placed into it.
Before & After Results
Cheeks, female
Midface projection restored
Filler placed on the cheekbone to rebuild projection that flattens with age. The lift along the jaw follows from supporting the midface rather than from treating the jaw itself. Image courtesy of Juvederm, Allergan Aesthetics. Individual results may vary.
Cheeks, male
Strong, angular structure
Male cheeks suit a flatter, more angular result than the female equivalent, so Regents Park Aesthetics places less product, higher and further back. Image courtesy of Juvederm, Allergan Aesthetics. Individual results may vary.
Restoring the cheek is what softens folds and jowls.
Because the mid face carries the weight of everything under it, adding support there produces effects at a distance.
Depth, explained
How Deep Cheek Filler Goes
Cheek filler is a structural treatment, and structure is built deep. Because the mid face carries the weight of everything under it, adding support there produces effects at a distance.
Cheekbone
A firm, highly cross-linked gel placed deep, usually onto the bone at the cheekbone rather than into the soft tissue above it. Deep placement creates structural support that lifts.
Nasolabial fold
Support at the cheekbone lifts the tissue that was sliding toward the jaw, and the fold softens on its own.
Jawline
As the mid-face tissue is lifted back, the jawline cleans up.
Under-eye
With the cheek supported, the eye area looks less hollow.
The deep fat: where the lift comes from
Volume is restored in the deep fat that sits over the cheekbone. Support placed here lifts everything above it, which is why treating a cheek can soften the fold beside the mouth without the fold itself being injected.

Choosing between treatments
Cheek filler or skin tightening
The right choice depends on your skin and what you are treating; a consultation settles it.
| Cheek fillersHyaluronic acid, deep on bone | Ultraformer HIFUFocused ultrasound | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Flat cheeks, mid-face volume loss, nasolabial folds, early jowling | Jawline, jowls, neck, brow, mild to moderate laxity |
| Results | Immediate, settled at 2 weeks | From 6 weeks, peak at 3 months |
| Repeat | Reviewed at twelve months | Repeated annually |
| Downtime | Two to three days of swelling | None |
| See pricing | Explore Ultraformer HIFU |
Where jowling is driven by mid-face volume loss, cheek filler helps. Where it is skin laxity, a tightening device does more.

Questions patients ask
Frequently asked questions
The cheek is the first thing to deflate and the last thing people ask about. Patients arrive concerned about the lines from nose to mouth, or a jawline losing its edge, and both frequently start higher up.
Facial fat pads shrink and shift downward from the mid thirties. Restoring cheek support lifts that tissue back, and done well it reads as a rested, brighter face rather than fuller cheeks.
£400 for 1ml and £720 for 2ml at our Marylebone clinic.
Twelve to eighteen months, longer than lips or tear troughs because deep filler on bone is under less movement.
Yes. Regents Park Aesthetics uses hyaluronic acid only, so everything placed can be reversed with a dissolving agent kept on site.
Sensible volume placed deep on bone, and time for previous filler to soften before any top up. That is how the face looks rested and simply like you.
Yes, and usually more than injecting the fold itself. Restoring cheek support lifts the tissue that has slid down and created the fold.
Where jowling is driven by mid-face volume loss, yes. Where it is skin laxity, a tightening device does more.
A cannula is usually used, which reduces discomfort and bruising. Topical anaesthetic is applied and the product contains a local anaesthetic.
Yes, hyaluronic acid filler can be dissolved if needed. We use hyaluronic acid only.
