Cheek Implant

Who is a good candidate?



• You have a desire and need for more prominent cheek contour.

• You have small or significantly reduced cheek tissue and cheekbone contour as an inherited characteristic or as a result of aging.

• You have facial asymmetry.



Description of the Procedure



• The procedure is done on an outpatient basis under sedation and local or general anesthesia.

• A small incision is made under the upper lip, in the lower eyelid, or in the hairline and an implant with a biologically correct shape is inserted over the natural cheekbone contour.



Recovery is approximately ten days and the results are permanent.
