People who are born without prominent cheek bones often lack facial balance and definition. Cheek augmentation surgery can change the appearance of a person’s face easily and safely. This procedure is minimally invasive, quick, and effective.

Cheek implants are frequently used in conjunction with other procedures including facelifts, eyelid lifts, and brow surgery (amongst others). Alternately, cheek augmentation surgery can be performed without any additional procedures.

Procedure

Cheek augmentation surgery can be performed on an outpatient basis. General anesthesia is usually used, though a local anesthesia can also be used. Following a complete cleansing of the operable area, Dr. Gonzalez will make small incisions in natural facial lines, or inside of the mouth area.

Once the proper incisions have been made, implants are then placed inside of the cheek area. After carefully situating the implants, Dr. Gonzalez will then close the incisions using minute sutures. Most patients can expect to recover from this procedure within one week.

Benefits

The results of cheek augmentation surgery are noticeable immediately. Upon leaving the operating room, patients will notice a vast difference in the overall shape of the face area. Eyes, lips, and other facial features will appear more youthful, well-balanced, and strong.

Cheek implants are ideal for any person suffering from a lack of facial features due to genetics, illness, or deformity. In addition to drastically changing the appearance of the face, implants will help to create a toned look.
