Description of Cheek Augmentation:
Cheek augmentation, also known as cheek implants, is a facial implant surgery designed to fill out the cheeks and enhance the shape of the face. Many people choose cheek augmentation to improve the look of their face after aging or weight loss or to give balance to their features.
To fill out a hollow or sunken cheek, cheek augmentation is carried out on the lower or mid-cheek region (submalar). High cheekbones are created with implants in the upper cheek (malar). Many people opt for a combination of the two.
The surgeon inserts implants into the cheek through incisions along the lower lash line, upper gum line or the inside of the mouth. Cheek augmentation is sometimes carried out alongside jaw augmentation, chin augmentation and face lift.
Cheek implants are constructed from a variety of materials. The most common cheek implant types are:
- Silicone implants: Solid silicone implants are inserted into the cheeks. Silicone implants come in a variety of shapes, densities and sizes.
- High-density polyethylene implants: Similar to silicone implants but provide better integration with the existing tissue. However, these cheek implants are a lot more difficult to remove.
- Injectable implants: Injecting the cheeks with the patient’s own fat reserves or an injectable filler is a less invasive procedure and gives immediate results but is less permanent.
How long will Cheek Augmentation last?
Cheek augmentation with silicone or polyethylene implants gives permanent results.
Cheek augmentation with injectable fillers is not permanent.
