Cheek Implants
A procedure that adds volume and definition to the cheeks for a more contoured facial appearance.
What is Cheek Implants?
Cheek implants add volume and enhance the contour of the cheekbones, addressing flatness or asymmetry, or simply enhancing a look you desire. Your surgeon places a solid implant, sized and shaped to your facial structure, through a small incision, most often inside the mouth or near the lower eyelid, leaving no visible external scar. This can be performed alone or combined with other facial procedures for a comprehensive rejuvenation or enhancement. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia, typically taking about an hour.
Why is this procedure performed?
- Naturally flat or underdeveloped cheekbones
- Volume loss in the cheeks that develops with age
- Facial asymmetry involving the cheek area
- A desire for more defined, contoured cheekbones
- Often combined with a facelift or other facial rejuvenation procedures
How does this procedure help?
Cheek implants can transform facial contour, adding definition and balance that enhances your overall appearance, whether you're looking to correct naturally flat cheekbones or restore volume lost with age. Results are immediately visible, with final appearance apparent once swelling resolves over a few weeks. Because the implants are placed on the bone, results are stable and long-lasting.
