Cheek Augmentation
Cheek augmentation is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance facial balance and restore youthful fullness to the midface.
As we age, fat and soft tissue in the cheeks can diminish, leading to a sunken or tired appearance.
Through implants or dermal fillers, cheek augmentation improves contour, definition, and overall harmony of facial features.
Overview And Clinical Background
Cheek augmentation focuses on increasing midface projection and structure.
It can be done using silicone implants or injectable fillers, depending on the level of enhancement desired.
- Purpose: Restore lost facial volume and create more defined cheekbones for a balanced, youthful appearance.
- Helps address flat or sagging cheeks caused by age, genetics, or weight loss.
- Result: Improved facial symmetry and a refreshed, sculpted look that complements natural features.
Symptoms, Signs And Presentation
Patients usually seek cheek augmentation to address volume loss or flatness in the midface.
Signs may include hollow cheeks, drooping skin, or lack of contour around the cheekbones.
- Common symptom: Flattened cheekbones creating an aged or tired look.
- Loss of midface fullness leading to skin sagging.
- Red flag: Sudden facial asymmetry or swelling may indicate underlying medical issues that need assessment before surgery.
Diagnosis Methods And Investigations
Facial Assessment And Imaging
Diagnosis includes evaluating facial symmetry, soft tissue condition, and bone structure.
High-resolution photography or 3D imaging is used for surgical planning.
- Imaging: 3D scans assist in selecting implant shape or filler quantity for balanced results.
- Lab tests: Standard blood tests to ensure safety for anesthesia and healing.
- Facial proportion measurements determine ideal augmentation strategy.
Treatment Options And Surgical Techniques
Cheek augmentation can be achieved surgically with implants or non-surgically using fillers.
The approach depends on desired volume, permanence, and patient preference.
- Conservative: Dermal fillers such as hyaluronic acid provide temporary enhancement lasting 12–18 months.
- Minimally invasive options: Fat grafting uses the patient’s own fat for subtle, natural volume restoration.
- Surgical cheek implants are placed through small incisions in the mouth or eyelid for lasting structural enhancement.
Recovery, Risks And Prognosis
Mild swelling and bruising may last 1–2 weeks.
Results appear immediately and improve as tissues settle.
Complications like asymmetry or infection are rare when performed by experienced surgeons.
