What is a Cheek Implant Treatment?

Timeless Facial Contours

How does cheek implants or cheek augmentation work?

A cheek implant procedure, also known as cheeks or chin augmentation, is a cosmetic surgery that focuses on improving the contour or fullness of your cheeks. It is performed by a surgeon who has experience and talent in this type of facial aesthetic surgery. If you have any concerns about flat or hollow cheeks, a lack of facial balance due to a frontal profile problem or midfacial asymmetry cheek implants may be used to correct this.

Cheek implant surgery places biocompatible implants above the cheekbone, resulting in more volume and improved harmony within the face. Many enjoy this choice facial surgery, as it can add a more youthful and contoured look at the face while enhancing natural facial features. The operation, depending on the needs and aims of every patient, shall take about 60 to 90 minutes.

The surgeon has the flexibility to design and perform a custom sized, shaped, and positioned implant to fit for a better aesthetic facial proportions thereby achieving a more chiseled and proportional face. With the evolving surgical techniques and practised professionals, cheek implant surgery has become a more comfortable option for people who wish to have an attractive enhancement everlasting with a natural-looking.

The Benefits of Cheek Implant

Placing cheek implants defines the midface, offering volume and becoming more harmonious with the rest of your facial features.
Enhanced and more contoured cheeks can provide a significant confidence boost, which may help to alleviate insecurities associated with a lack of contour in the face.
The procedure is sometimes performed through incisions within the mouth, and different hidden regions ensuing in very little, well-hidden scarring.
Cheek implants can be tailored to target problems like asymmetry or volume loss and meet aesthetic goals that are uniquely suited.
The final results of cheek implants have the unique advantage of being permanent, which can enhance facial contour that lasts throughout the aging process as your other facial features change to serve a lifetime of improved contours and definition.

The many types

Malar Implants

Instantly brings dimension to the apples of your cheeks.

Malar implants are positioned on top of the cheekbones to give higher, more prominent contour. These are great for adding to the cheekbone without increasing the fullness of the cheeks. Such implants do indeed give definition to the face with an angular, contoured appearance. Tiny incisions are made on the inside of the mouth, or along the lower eyelid. The scars are difficult to see later. You may expect 1–2 weeks for recovery, but the final results won’t appear until 4–6 weeks as the swelling goes down.

Classification: High-projection, cheekbone-focused.

Downtime: 1-2 weeks for the first stages of recovery; full healing in 4-6 weeks

Best For: People who want more defined cheekbones.

Submalar Implants

Creates mid-face volume to soften and round.

Submalar implants are used to restore volume in the cheeks — primarily where there may appear a hollow or sunken appearance among those who have lost significant cheek volume due to aging or weight loss, but whose face shape would resist a more drastic facial contouring. This is ideal for those who want to diffuse the under-eye area and complement volume in the cheek. Cheek implants offer a natural looking, subtle rise to the cheeks that help balance facial proportions. This procedure is usually performed through small incisions in the mouth or below the lower eyelid so that visible scarring cannot be seen.

Classification: Mid-face volume, fullness-focused.

Downtime: 1-2 weeks for the first stages of recovery; full healing in 4-6 weeks.

Best For: People who have a sunken or hollow midface that desire to restore volume and cheek fullness, creating a more youthful appearance.

Combined Implants

Accentuates cheekbones and full cheeks to make for a balanced look

By combining increased projection to the cheekbones with added volume to the cheeks, combined implants offer a complete approach to facial enhancement. Not only does this dual approach help achieve an even more balanced look, as well as giving you a lift to your cheekbones but it can also work together to position and soften the overall face. Implants are implanted through small incisions inside the mouth or just below the lower eyelid to leave as little scarring as possible. The process is more aggressive than just single area implants but packs a real punch to the overall appearance of the cheeks.

Classification: Dual-action, cheekbone and fullness enhancement.

Downtime: 1-2 weeks for the first stages of recovery; full healing in 4-6 weeks.

Best For: People seeking a more complete cheek augmentation addressing both projection of the cheekbones and fullness in the mid-face.

The procedure

Enhanced Cheek Definition

How does a cheek implant work?

Cheek implant surgery, used to restore volume and shape of the cheek, is one of the most popular cosmetic surgical procedures in the world today. It is well suited for people that have had flat, sunken cheeks or who lack prominent cheekbones and want a little more definition and facial balance. Many people select this because they want to achieve the appearance of having fuller, younger-looking cheeks that have great definition.

An initial appointment with us is helpful to evaluate your facial bone structure, determine how cheek implants would complement your natural features. This appointment will also allow you to ask about any other cosmetic procedures that you might want.

Lasting Facial Harmony

Why should you consider cheek implants?

Cheek implants are the key to improving your facial harmony and boosting your self-esteem. The operation performs to rectify such concerns as level or hollow cheeks, asymmetrical cheekbones, and deficiency of fullness to provide a more symmetrical proportioned appearance. That said, cheek implant procedures can be customized to different goals — that is, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to providing outcomes that complement your unique vision of what you want to achieve. The entire operation is usually less invasive resulting in shorter recovery times with minimal scarring, and the results will allow patients to enjoy their newly improved facial features for years to come. However, cheek implants also provide a youthful look and an enhanced aesthetic and health of soft tissues in the face.

Customized Cheek Perfection

Make sure to keep this in mind.

Cheek implants like any other cosmetic procedure, its success depends on several factors. We highly suggest speaking with your cheek implant surgeon during the consultation about what you would like from a cheek augmentation and what is best for you. This helps the surgeon discern which type and placement of implant will provide the best, most natural appearance. The results depend on various factors, including skin type, existing bone structure, medical history and any possible allergies.

Long Term Maintenance

How to optimize cheek implant results?

Choosing the ideal clinic will determine how natural your cheek implants look. From the procedure to getting your facial features upgraded, the technique you choose is a big game-changer in itself. Choose a clinic with high-grade medical devices and experienced cosmetic surgeons for better results. However, lifestyle, genetics and aging will also play a key role so it could take longer. A reputed clinic would provide you necessary guidance for pre-care, post care as well outstanding patient carel to get desired results from the procedure.

Not only is it important to find a good clinic, but taking responsibility for your health will also help you improve your results. You will need to follow all the pre-operative and post-operative instructions from your surgeon, stopping the use of some medicines, treating previous medical problems if you had any or following a healing lifestyle. Follow-up appointments are important—they will allow your surgeon to check in on your recovery and catch any potential issues before they become a cause for concern; it also means you can enjoy your cheek implants for as long as possible, having most likely planned out how long you want the look to last for.

The essentials

You must meet with your surgeon prior to a cheek implant procedure to assess your goals and medical history. Smoking, alcohol must be avoided for at least 2 weeks before the operation because they slow down healing. To lower the risk of complications, your surgeon may discuss stopping some medications prior to surgery — especially blood thinners.

Depending on how complex the cheek implant surgery is anticipated to be, patients can expect to be administered local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. The surgeon uses small cuts inside your mouth or under your bottom eyelid to place the implants. They are positioned in a way to create and improve the contour of the cheeks for fullness, youthfulness and symmetry. Typically lasting 1 to 2 hours, the incisions are closed with dissolvable sutures after inserting the implants.

Survival after the treatment

Rest and recovery will depend on your surgeon’s guidelines following the cosmetic procedure of cheek implants. Swelling and bruising is normal for the first few days, and can be treated with ice packs and pain control. Do not put pressure on the face: avoid sleeping on side and stomach), and keep a soft diet if you have wounds inside your mouth. You need regular follow up appointments with your surgeon to check how you are doing and attend to any issues.
