Cheek Augmentation

Cheek augmentation is a cosmetic procedure designed to add volume and definition to the cheeks, creating a more youthful, sculpted, and balanced facial appearance.

Who Can Benefit?

This procedure is ideal for those with:

  • Flat or sunken cheeks

  • Loss of volume due to aging

  • Asymmetrical or undefined cheekbones

  • Desire for a more contoured facial structure

Cheek Augmentation Techniques

1. Dermal Fillers

  • Procedure: Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers (e.g., Juvederm, Restylane) are injected into the cheeks.

  • Results: Immediate volume, subtle lift, and natural-looking enhancement.

  • Duration: Lasts 6–18 months (temporary, requires touch-ups).

  • Recovery: Minimal downtime, slight swelling/bruising for 1–2 days.

2. Fat Grafting (Fat Transfer)

  • Procedure: Fat is taken from another body area (e.g., abdomen, thighs), purified, and injected into the cheeks.

  • Results: Natural, long-lasting volume (some fat may be reabsorbed).

  • Duration: Permanent (surviving fat cells last indefinitely).

  • Recovery: 5–7 days of swelling; final results in 3–6 months.

3. Cheek Implants

  • Procedure: Solid silicone or porous polyethylene implants are surgically placed over the cheekbones.

  • Results: Permanent, dramatic enhancement.

  • Duration: Lifelong (unless removed/replaced).

  • Recovery: 7–10 days of swelling; full healing in 4–6 weeks.
