The aging process can often bring about a gaunt, hollow appearance in a person’s mid-face. To correct these issues, surgical rejuvenation of the cheek and mid-face area can be performed, which may include lifting and skin-tightening procedures, implant placement, and injectable fillers.

When a facelift isn’t appropriate and a permanent solution is preferred, facial implants offer the best solution.
 

Why Undergo Cheek Augmentation?

The negative effects of aging aren’t the only reason people pursue cheek augmentation. Some people are simply born with a facial structure that causes a lack of prominence in the cheek area. A facial implant or cheek implant can correct this imperfection, balance your face, and enhance your facial characteristics.
 

Facial Implant Surgery

Facial implants are made of silicone rubber and come in a variety of anatomical shapes and sizes to match each patient’s needs. Placing cheek implants requires a small incision in the patient’s mouth. The implants are then precisely placed in a pocket and secured in place.
 

After Facial Implant Surgery

After surgery some swelling is normal. Pain medication and a liquid diet may be prescribed to manage the recovery process. Once swelling subsides, one can truly appreciate the aesthetic results. Your face will exhibit the prominence of youth and your skin will tighten up. No scars will be visible and your facial contour will resemble a natural structure.
