Lift Your Cheeks and Revitalise Your Appearance
It can be disconcerting when the signs of the passing years become ingrained in your face. You may be worried about losing volume around your cheeks, have a tired appearance with under-eye hollows, or have wrinkles along the inside edges.
In such cases, you may think a surgical facelift may be the only option. Thankfully, there are less invasive techniques; nasolabial fold fillers can help restore your natural beauty without looking overdone or unnatural and without the need for surgery.
Using dermal fillers, we can give you a younger, fresher, and healthier appearance focusing on the cheeks and lower face without giving them a “puffy” or “pillow-face” look. This treatment is commonly referred to as nasolabial fold fillers.

How Nasolabial Fold
Filler Treatment Works
Once upon a time, you may have had full and healthy-looking cheeks, which helped to give you a beautiful, youthful complexion.
Once upon a time, you may have had full and healthy-looking cheeks, which helped to give you a beautiful, youthful complexion. As you age, collagen and elastin in your cheeks become depleted. This leads to a flatter, sunken appearance. You may notice a more drawn, gaunt, and aged look. A sudden drop in weight or smoking can also speed up the signs of ageing.
Dermal filler treatment is a non-surgical way of addressing sunken cheeks. It replaces lost volume and gives you a fresher, younger appearance.
Before the procedure, we’ll carefully plan the intricate details and identify the specific sites that will receive the injection. Then, once we have planned the treatment, we’ll inject the filler.
Dermal fillers use hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance that hydrates the skin. This gives the skin around your cheeks renewed plumpness and elasticity. The entire process is relatively brief and minimally invasive.

Really want to say a massive thank you to Tracey at reception who went above and beyond to be able to get me an appointment before I moved! Kept me in the loop and moved schedules around so I could be seen. I’m so grateful for her help – she’s a shining example of amazing customer service. Also big shout out to Dr Sheena and her assistant in training (didn’t catch her name unfortunately) who performed my first root canal yesterday. Both were so gentle and kind and ensured I was ok throughout the procedure. Thank you so much.
Highly recommend, the staff are friendly & welcoming, my children are no longer nervous going to the dentist! My 7 year old recently broke his tooth, we didn’t have an appointment but they managed to fit him in, constantly reassuring him & explaining everything that they were doing & he was back at school within an hour! Absolutely fantastic service 🌟
For me to go to the dentist is a miracle, im a cry and run patient. Deryn was amazing made me feel totally at ease and was kind and caring. I was shocked at the atmosphere as previous experience had ruined me. Its a lovely friendly place with no dentist sound and smell. Tailored made treatment. Cannot recommend enough. Also 1st time ever going to a dentist on my own, im 55 😁 so tells you what this place has.
Brilliant experience every time! I travel over an hour and a half to come here. I’ve had the full smile make over – Invisalign, whitening and composite bonding and I love my teeth and get so many compliments where as before I used to hate my smile. Come here regularly now for check ups and hygienist appointments. Will continue to travel as a great experience every time. Spotless clinics, helpful friendly staff and feel it’s good value for money. Would recommend to others!
Beaut practice and welcoming staff! Had a couple composite fillings with Dr Deryn and couldn’t be happier. I’m usually anxious when visiting the dentist but Deryn and Natascha made my experience feel relaxed and comfortable. Staff at front desk are lovely and put me at ease from the get go – thank you Tracey, Eloise and Colette for your support ❤️
Special thanks to Shivam Divani at LoveTeeth Cheam, his customer service is incredible & his work speaks for itself. He is so transparent and provides you a non biased opinion on cosmetic treatments, I will be recommending him to all of my friends for Invisalign, Bonding and Whitening treatments.
I was made to feel welcome here from start to finish. Friendly and professional people from front to back. Excellent hygienist appointment, very pleased with results. I will definitely return, and would highly recommend 😊
Dr Caroline and her assistant were fantastic. A very good service excellent dental care and advice. I followed a 5 month programme of Invisalign and now for the first time in my life I have perfect straight white teeth. I can smile with confidence. The cost was reasonable and I came away very happy and satisfied! Thank you Love Teeth and all the team at Sutton Practice!

Frequently asked questions
What Are Nasolabial Folds?
Nasolabial folds run along the inside of your cheeks from the bottom of your nose down to the corner of your mouth. Although everyone has these lines, they will deepen as you get older.
In addition to the natural ageing process, the prominence of these lines can be increased as a result of smoking or sudden weight loss brought about through crash diets.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Made from pharmaceutical-grade hyaluronic acid, dermal fillers hydrate, plump, and refresh your skin.
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in the fluid surrounding your joints and eyes. It decreases swelling and contributes to the youthful appearance of your skin. However, as you age, the natural production of hyaluronic acid begins to slow down.
Dermal fillers are a fantastic way of replenishing lost hyaluronic acid and rehydrating areas of your face.
Do Nasolabial Fold Fillers Hurt?
We always go out of our way to make your treatment as comfortable as possible. In fact, many of our patients comment on how little pain they experience during and after the procedure.
What Can I Expect Following Nasolabial Fold Fillers?
Following nasolabial fold filler treatment, you may experience some bruising or redness around the injection site. However, this usually only lasts for a day or two. Similarly, the treatment area may feel firmer than usual for a few days after the procedure. It may be tempting to rub the treatment area, but you should resist the temptation for at least five days.
After treatment, avoiding too much sun exposure or strenuous exercise for the next two days is important. You should also avoid applying makeup to the injection site for 24 hours after the procedure.
Although there is very little pain or discomfort associated with dermal fillers, you may want to take painkillers. Remember that you shouldn’t take ibuprofen or aspirin for a few days after your treatment.
Are There Any Side Effects to Nasolabial Fold Fillers?
Typically, the most common side effect associated with dermal fillers is swelling. That said, you should be prepared for a bit of bruising and even small lumps under your skin. All of these symptoms will disappear on their own over time.
We want you to feel completely at ease while undergoing this non-surgical aesthetic treatment. However, we can discuss these further during your initial consultation if you have any worries about potential side effects.
How Long Does It Take to Recover After Nasolabial Fold Fillers?
The nasolabial fold filler recovery process is relatively short. Typically, any swelling or redness will last for a couple of days. After your treatment, you can go about your normal activities straight away; however, it’s important to avoid doing anything too strenuous for two days.
How Soon Will the Results of Nasolabial Fold Fillers Be Visible?
You’ll be glad to know that the signs of ageing around the cheeks and nasolabial folds will start reversing immediately after your treatment. The process will give you naturally fuller cheeks. Your friends and family will undoubtedly notice how healthy and well-rested you look.
How Long Do the Effects of Dermal Fillers Last?
Over time, your body will naturally break down the hyaluronic acid used in your nasolabial fold filler treatment. The exact time this takes will vary; however, it’s usually between six months and two years.
It will be possible to replenish the hyaluronic acid by revisiting us for a top-up treatment every so often at a later date.
Are Nasolabial Fold Fillers Right for Me?
Nasolabial fold fillers can enhance the appearance of sunken cheeks, reducing the signs of ageing in the process. It does this in a minimally invasive and non-surgical way.
We’ll never undertake a procedure that you’re not completely comfortable with. During your initial consultation, you’ll have the opportunity to ask us any questions that you may have so that you can make an informed decision about your treatment.
