The cheek and mid-face area are key structural features of the face. As collagen, elastin, and structural support change with age, cheek anatomy may alter. These changes are influenced by genetics, lifestyle factors, and natural volume loss.
During consultation, Dr Allison will analyse facial proportions and the relationship between mid-face structures to assess individual anatomy. Treatment options that may be considered in relation to cheek structure and mid-face anatomy are discussed privately at consultation.
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 alterations in mid-face volume and contour. These are normal anatomical changes that vary between individuals.
Dr Allison may discuss medical options to address these structural changes, based on individual anatomy and medical suitability. Realistic expectations and individual variability are discussed at consultation.
Shape and Structure
The contour and curve of the cheek are key structural characteristics that vary between individuals and change with age.
During consultation, individual facial anatomy and gender-related structural characteristics are assessed as part of treatment planning tailored to each patient’s anatomy and medical suitability.
Individual Variation and Anatomy
Cheek volume varies naturally between individuals. Dr Allison assesses facial anatomy and structural characteristics, taking into account individual factors that may contribute to variation, such as habitual sleeping positions, sun exposure, or muscle activity.
Treatment planning is based on individual facial anatomy and structural characteristics across the upper, middle, and lower face, assessed at consultation.
