What Is A Cheek Treatment?
Subtle volume in the cheeks plays an important role in facial balance. Over time, natural volume loss can create a hollowed appearance through the midface, softening definition and altering the contours of the face.
Dermal fillers offer a thoughtful, nonsurgical approach to restoring that structure. Using hyaluronic acid (HA) based fillers, volume can be gently reintroduced to the cheek area to support the midface and refine natural contours. Treatment is typically performed in a single appointment and designed to enhance facial harmony while maintaining a natural look.
How The Treatment Works
Treatment is performed in one of our private treatment rooms and typically takes about an hour. Before the treatment, the injection sites will be cleaned and marked along the hollows of the mid-face. Next, the fillers will be injected into the mid-face and massaged to create an even fullness.
Once complete, patients are able to leave shortly after their appointment and return to the rest of their day with minimal interruption.
Frequency of treatment: every 6 – 12 months

Starr MedSpa Reviews
An amazing, amazing med spa! They are so welcoming, accommodating, honest and overall provide an exceptional experience no matter what type of service you are receiving—tox, filler, slim shots, peels, and lasers. I 100% trust Tenley and the team she has built around her! The slim shots work just have to trust the process and Tenley and her team are so open to answering questions quickly if I ever had any!
So thankful for Starr Medspa in helping me reach my health and wellness goals! So helpful in getting off stubborn stomach weight, or all overall toning up. I would recommend them to anyone looking to get the help they need for their aesthetic goals.
The GLP-1 shot has been a game changer for me. I am 4 yrs into my perimenopause and my weight gain was bad. Luckily I have healthy eating and gym habits but my body decided those are no longer “good enough”. After a lot of research on glp-1s I decided to give it a try with Starr MedSpa (Studio City). The team is very informative, kind and SO GENTLE with the shots. When I had minor side effects they adjusted my dose and now I’m back on track. I have lost 5 lbs in 1 month (this is a normal- healthy way to lose weight) and I feel really great on this medication!
I love coming to Starr MedSpa! It is incredibly beautiful and such a relaxing place. I've been going to nurse Alii to get my slim shot for the past couple months and omggg the results have been amazing!!! I've lost 15lbs within 3 months. I've had no side effects, everything has been great! Nurse Alii has been wonderful and I always feel comfortable in her care.
I have now done the orange peel twice and by far my favorite treatment of all time! I have very stubborn hyperpigmentation and this is the best treatment I have found. I have done lasers, peels, you name it but nothing gives me the radiant glow and clear skin. It is my new once to twice a year treatment.

Who This Treatment Is For
Cheek filler is often considered by individuals who feel the midface could benefit from greater structure or softness. Some naturally have more delicate or hollow cheeks, while others notice gradual changes in volume over time, including those related to aging or shifts in weight.
This approach suit those in good overall health who are interested in subtle, nonsurgical refinement. During consultation, facial proportions, skin quality, and personal goals are thoughtfully reviewed to determine whether this treatment aligns with the outcome you hope to achieve.
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of dermal fillers do you use for injections?
When selecting synthetic dermal fillers for your cheeks, Tenley does have a preference. For many years, Tenley has had reliable, consistent results from the JUVÉDERM® product line of dermal fillers, particularly JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA® XC, for the cheeks. As a formulation of hyaluronic acid, VOLUMA can enhance the cheeks by filling in sunken, hollow areas beneath the surface of your skin. This is a temporary solution for volume loss or for the appearance of having higher cheekbones. Rest assured, when you are at Starr MedSpa, our aesthetic care team will perform the injections with excellent, reliable results that will have your cheeks looking younger, fuller, and refined.
What if I have an asymmetrical face?
You would be surprised to hear that many people, even some models and celebrities, have asymmetrical faces. It is natural to think that not having a mirror-like reflection on both sides of your face is an abnormality. If you are concerned that your facial asymmetry is unattractive or that you do not have a balance to your overall facial appearance because of the volume or height of your cheekbones, you can schedule a consultation with registered nurse and owner Tenley to have her assess your options. If you are considering a cheek implant or filler to make your cheekbones the same height and higher, please call today to schedule your appointment.
Will cheek augmentation with dermal fillers affect facial movement or expressions?
When performed by a skilled injector, cheek augmentation with dermal fillers should not significantly impact your facial movement or expressions. The treatment aims to enhance facial volume while maintaining natural movement. However, if too much filler is injected, it could create an unnatural look or restrict movement. This is why it's important to choose a provider with experience in facial anatomy and dermal filler injections.
A Subtle Shift in Structure
Sometimes the smallest adjustments can bring new balance to the face. For those exploring ways to refine the natural shape of the cheeks, this approach offers a considered path forward.
