How this Procedure is Done

What is Cheek Augmentation?

Full, defined cheeks are a definite sign of youth and beauty. However, because of passage of time, gravity, or changes in the bones,the face might lose fat which leads to sagging and wrinkled skin. This problem is usually more significant in the upper part of the face specially the cheeks. In other words, cheeks may become thin, flat, and saggy as time goes by. In such situations, some surgeries like cheek augmentation can be of great help. Through this operation, surgeons add volume and lift to the cheeks. There are two major surgical options for augmenting and enhancing the cheeks, namely fat transfer and the use of solid cheek implants. A nonsurgical technique is also available in which doctors use injectable fillers to improve the appearance ofthis area.

Who Can Benefit From Cheek Augmentation?

Cheek augmentation is an individualized process. Indeed, you should do it for boosting your self-confidence and enhancing your appearance. If you intend to undergo such surgeries just for the sake of gaining others’ satisfaction, it’s better to think twice.

In general, cheek augmentation can be suitable if you:

  • are in good overall health and at a stable weight
  • have realistic expectations and goals
  • do not smoke
  • are not satisfied with the appearance of your cheeks; they are too thin, flat, or saggy
  • suffer from under-eye bags, lines, and wrinkles on the cheeks

 

Procedure

This operation is typically carried out in a hospital, surgery center or a specialized office. Your doctor can use either general or local anesthesia.It usually takes about an hour or two depending on your expectations.

Considering the technique employed by your surgeon, this operation may require several incisions. If fat transfer has been chosen as the best option, a small incision will be made near the area of fat that is harvested and some small incisions near your cheeks. If solid cheek implants are going to be used, they will be inserted through an incision made inside the mouth or under your eyelid. This decision will be taken by your surgeon based on your overall health condition and goals. At the end, the incisions will be closed by several stitches which will disappear after a while.

 

Recovery

After the surgery, your doctor will apply bandages or dressings to keep the surgical site clean, reduce swelling, and support the position of the implants. If thy have been placed inside your mouth, you will have to consume a special liquid diet and use some mouth rinses. Facial movements might be impaired for a short period of time as well.

You don’t need to worry about such matters since your surgeon will prescribe the essential medications to take and give specific instructions to follow.

 

The Results

As swelling fades away, you will be able to see the results of your surgery. If the appearance of your cheeks has been improved using fat transfer, the results will be based on the amount of fat injected into your cheeks and usually last for several years. However, the final results will be more predictable and of course permanent whensolid cheek implants are placed inside your cheeks.

Your cheek augmentation typically results in fuller, lifted, and softer-appearing cheeks. Besides the aesthetic merit, implants can slow down the effects of bones’ aging process.

Finally, a significant point must be indicated. Despite the fact that all patients expect to achieve their desirable results from this surgery, there is no guarantee. In some situations, a single procedure cannot help you meet your needs and other operations might be necessary. In general, if you take care of yourself and follow all the instructions, you will be able to enjoy your new appearance for a longer period of time.
