Cheek fillers are often suggested as a solution for enhancing the appearance of the cheeks, as well as providing a lifted effect to the rest of the face. The mid-face area will lose volume as part of the ageing process which can emphasise the appearance of other shadows in the face, including: tear trough areas, smile lines and lower face. The fat pads in the face also gradually descend downwards over time meaning volume it lost in the upper face and the lower face can start to appear heavier. For this reason, the cheeks are an area commonly treated in order to achieve an anti-ageing and balancing result.
