Our exceptional experience with treating cheek volume loss
Subtle changes in the cheek area are among the earliest signs of facial ageing, with a gradual shift in the underlying fat pads and support structures that once gave the face its youthful contour. As bone density reduces and deep fat compartments begin to descend or diminish, the midface can appear flatter, less defined, and tired. This loss of volume doesn’t just affect the cheeks—it can alter the harmony of the entire face. At Ascension, we approach midface rejuvenation with an expert eye and advanced, evidence-based techniques, restoring volume with precision to enhance structure while preserving natural expression.
Sharing his techniques and results with other doctors and nurses, Dr. Scott Allison attends domestic and international conferences, passionate about achieving exceptional results. Our team at Ascension are trained by Dr. Allison, using effective, patient-tailored techniques to maintain a high level of care.
“Cheekbones are the supporting structures to the nasolabial folds, and when they lose volume with age, it allows the folds to deepen and sag. By using varying cosmetic treatments and subtly replacing this lost volume, I am able to create noticeable lift in the face without surgery.” – Dr. Scott Allison.

Areas of concern /
Multiple factors can contribute to midface volume loss, including ageing, genetics, and changes to the underlying bone and fat structures. It’s essential for your practitioner to thoroughly assess the root cause of volume depletion in the cheeks to determine the most appropriate treatment approach. During your consultation, we take the time to understand your unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. A personalised treatment plan will be developed to address loss of cheek structure, improve facial harmony, and subtly lift surrounding features.
Size and Symmetry
Cheek enhancement adds volume to the targeted area, altering the size and shape and achieving balance in the face’s upper, middle and lower thirds. We can also address an asymmetrical volume of the face.
Shape
From the bones to the centre, the cheeks frame the other elements of the face, providing structural support to the lower face. Depending on the patient’s personal preferences, we can make changes such as creating a soft curve from the side of the cheek, achieving forward projection and creating a smooth transition to the area around the mouth.
With a high level of client collaboration, gender differences should be considered when injecting these areas.
Ageing
As we age, we commonly lose volume in the cheeks and mid-face. This can create disharmony between features, and contribute to an older appearance. Adding volume allows us to maintain a balance between the upper, middle and lower thirds, enhancing overall symmetry and preventing facial hollowing.
Price
At Ascension, we provide comprehensive cosmetic consultations where your comfort, aesthetic preferences, facial anatomy and skin health are all considered to provide an ideal treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Your consultation at our Brisbane clinic
During your initial consultation, various aspects will be discussed to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the procedure and your specific needs. The consultation allows us to discuss expectations openly and create a treatment plan you can approve.
Firstly, your cosmetic concerns and treatment goals will be discussed. We will listen attentively to gain insight into what you hope to achieve through cheek enhancement. This discussion allows us to explain what can be realistically achieved.
Next, we will thoroughly examine your facial features, paying particular attention to the cheek area. We will evaluate factors such as volume loss, asymmetry, skin quality, and overall facial balance. This assessment helps us to determine the appropriate treatment plan required. We may also inquire about any allergies or previous cosmetic treatments. This information is crucial for determining your eligibility for the procedure.
The consultation will also involve a discussion about the procedure itself, including the type of product that will be used, the expected duration of the results, and any potential risks or side effects. We can explain the technique involved, ensuring you understand the process and know what to expect during and after the treatment.
Finally, the financial aspect will be discussed. We will provide information about the cost of the treatment, any potential additional expenses, and the expected longevity of the results. We can also discuss the option of follow-up treatments and maintenance. Your treatment costs will depend on the personalised details of your procedure, so it is best to wait until having your consultation before making calculations.

Suitable candidates
Suitable candidates are those who want to address specific cosmetic concerns related to cheek volume loss, and those who would like to make natural-looking aesthetic changes to precise areas of their face.
Candidates should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the results.
Before undergoing the treatment, candidates will need a consultation with one of our cosmetic doctors and nurses, who will assess individual needs and determine if treatment is an appropriate option. We will consider your medical history, skin condition, and facial anatomy.
The potential benefits
The reasons for having a cosmetic treatment are personal, and therefore, so are most of the benefits each patient may experience.
Generally, a positive of the treatment is that it is less invasive than procedures that achieve permanent results. This can benefit those who want to avoid the specific risks and recovery associated with surgical procedures such as facelifts.
By choosing a non-surgical approach, you can benefit from less downtime and the flexibility to modify results in future sessions.
A customised treatment plan will be created, considering your personal preferences and distinctive facial characteristics. Essentially, this means that each patient can find benefits of the procedure based on their own unique needs and preferences.
