When you look in the mirror and you notice the hollowed out look around your eyes and the middle of your face appears flat, you probably would look better with a cheek implant. A typical aging change is the loss of fullness in the mid face and increased distance between the cheek and the lower eyelid. An effective and permanent way to correct this is to an implant in the exact area that needs correction. This is done by making small incisions inside the mouth above the gum line with no visible external incisions. This is a relatively simple surgery that gives a notable richness to the face that looks natural and youthful. This surgery is equally popular among women and men.
We have found that the face ages better after cheek augmentation because the implant offers support to the softer tissue and prevents sagging.
What you need to know.
This surgery can be performed with mild sedation. You can also do this surgery in combination with other procedures to enhance your overall result. This surgery is for patients of all ages, many patients have had cheek augmentation in their 20's and 30's, helping them to maintain their youthful look for many years; these patients clearly age differently.
What we do different.
We do it ! We are enthusiastic about this operation because we have repeatedly seen excellent natural appearing results. Cheek augmentation has a bad reputation because in our opinion, the surgery is often done wrong. At our center, the implants are hand carved to fit the contours of your face and to provide correction exactly where it is needed. The recovery is uncomplicated.
