The cheek and mid-face area contribute to light reflection, facial symmetry, and an overall refreshed appearance.
As collagen, elastin, and structural support decline with age, the cheeks may appear flatter or less defined. These changes are influenced by genetics, lifestyle factors and natural volume loss.
During consultation, Dr Allison will analyse facial proportions and the way light interacts with the mid-face, similar to how makeup artists use contour and highlight to enhance structure. He will discuss treatment options that aim to support facial contour and rejuvenate the mid-face in a natural, balanced way.
Some non-surgical options may involve prescription-only medicines or medical devices. In accordance with Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) regulations, these are not advertised publicly and are only discussed in private medical consultation.
Areas Commonly Reviewed During Consultation
Structural and Soft-Tissue Changes
With age, changes in deep fat compartments and bone structure can lead to flattening or hollowing in the mid-face, producing a tired appearance.
Dr Allison may discuss medical options to address these changes conservatively, with the goal of refreshed facial balance rather than exaggeration.
Shape and Structure
The contour and curve of the cheek influence facial aesthetics at every age.
During consultation, gender-specific anatomy and aesthetic ideals are carefully considered to maintain or enhance masculine or feminine features in a natural way.
Size and Symmetry
Cheek volume can vary naturally between individuals. Dr Allison assesses overall facial symmetry and balance, considering differences that may arise from habitual sleeping positions, sun exposure or muscle activity.
Treatment planning focuses on supporting even proportions between the upper, middle and lower face while maintaining individual character.
