As we age, our cheeks lose fullness and volume, which can make the face appear tired and sunken. Cheek augmentation with hyaluronic acid is a modern and gentle method of revitalizing the natural contours of the face and restoring youthful fullness. At our first-class Skinthetics practice in Düsseldorf, we use state-of-the-art procedures and high-quality fillers to help you achieve a harmonious and natural appearance.
Hyaluronic acid injections are a proven procedure in aesthetic dermatology, used both for wrinkle treatment and for targeted volume enhancement in the midface. Our specialist Dr. Lucija Grittern has extensive expertise in the use of various fillers and develops an individual treatment concept for each patient. The luxurious ambience of our practice offers you the ideal setting for a relaxed and professional treatment. Through targeted cheek augmentation with hyaluronic acid, we can not only restore facial volume, but also achieve a natural lifting effect that rejuvenates and refreshes your entire appearance.
Cheek augmentation with hyaluronic acid is a minimally invasive procedure to restore facial volume in the cheek and midface areas. Hyaluronic acid is injected under the skin as a filler to replace lost fullness and emphasize the natural contours of the face. Hyaluronic acid is a substance produced naturally in the body that is found in our connective tissue and is responsible for storing moisture and maintaining skin structure.
At our Skinthetics practice, we only use high-quality, certified hyaluronic acid fillers that have been specially developed for volume enhancement. These fillers are characterized by their special consistency, which enables long-lasting effect and natural result. Cheek augmentation with hyaluronic acid can be used both to correct age-related changes and to optimize the natural shape of the face.
Volume loss in the midface is a natural aging process that is influenced by various factors. With increasing age, the body's production of Hyaluronic acid, Collagen, and elastin decreases, causing the skin to lose elasticity and fullness. At the same time, the distribution of fat in the face changes, with adipose tissue in the upper areas of the face decreasing and shifting downward.
Other causes of volume loss include UV radiation, environmental influences, genetic predisposition, and the general aging process of the skin. Weight fluctuations can also contribute to a loss of cheek fullness. These changes cause the face to appear sunken and the characteristic contours to be lost. Through targeted wrinkle treatment with injections of Hyaluronic acid, we can effectively correct these age-related changes and give your face new vitality.

Before the treatment, our team conducts a detailed medical history and consultation. Dr. Lucija Grittern analyzes your facial structure and discusses your wishes and ideas with you. A customized treatment concept is developed that is optimally tailored to your individual needs. The treatment area is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to create optimal conditions for the hyaluronic acid injection.
The injection of Hyaluronic acid is performed using fine cannulas or needles at strategically important points on the cheeks. The filler is precisely injected into the appropriate tissue layers to achieve a natural and harmonious result. The treatment is usually painless, as modern fillers already contain a local anesthetic. Throughout the treatment, we pay attention to your well-being and adjust the procedure accordingly.
After the treatment, you can leave our practice immediately and are ready to socialize. Special aftercare is not usually necessary. However, we recommend that you refrain from intense physical activity for the first 24 hours and do not massage the treated areas vigorously. The final result of cheek augmentation with hyaluronic acid is usually visible after a few days and develops fully over the following weeks.
Our new clinic is located just a few minutes’ walk from our previous premises. We look forward to welcoming you in a stylish, modern setting – designed for calm, comfort, and a relaxed treatment experience.

Cheek augmentation with hyaluronic acid is suitable for all patients who suffer from volume loss in the midface or who want to emphasize their natural facial contours. The treatment is particularly suitable for people aged 30 and over, when the first signs of volume loss become visible. At our Skinthetics practice, Dr. Lucija Grittern conducts an individual consultation to assess whether wrinkle treatment is suitable for you.
The treatment usually takes 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the desired extent of the correction. Including consultation and preparation, you should allow about an hour for your appointment at our practice. The injection of Hyaluronic acid itself only takes a few minutes, as our experienced team works precisely and efficiently.
The treatment is usually painless, as modern fillers already contain a local anesthetic. Most patients report only minor discomfort during the injection.
The results usually last between 12 and 18 months, depending on the filler used and individual factors such as metabolism and lifestyle. Hyaluronic acid is broken down slowly and naturally by the body. At our Skinthetics practice, we use high-quality, long-lasting fillers that are known for their stability and durability.
We generally recommend a refresher treatment after 6 to 12 months, when the effect of the first treatment begins to wear off. Many patients opt for regular treatments to maintain the desired result permanently.
As with any medical treatment, side effects may occasionally occur with hyaluronic acid injections. These include slight swelling, Redness, or small bruises at the injection sites, which usually subside within a few days. Serious complications are very rare when performed properly. In our practice, we will explain all possible risks to you in detail.
After the treatment, you should refrain from intense physical activity, sauna visits, and vigorous massage of the treated areas for 24 hours. Alcohol consumption can increase swelling and should also be avoided. Otherwise, you can resume your normal activities immediately. Our team will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal treatment results.
The cost of cheek augmentation with hyaluronic acid starts at €450. The exact price depends on the amount of filler required and the extent of the desired correction. During a personal consultation, Dr. Lucija Grittern will create an individual treatment plan with a transparent cost breakdown. We would also be happy to inform you about possible financing options.
