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

Q: Is cheek augmentation painful?
A: Fillers use numbing cream; fat grafting and implants are performed under anesthesia for comfort.
Q: Can cheek implants look unnatural?
A: When placed by an experienced surgeon, they appear very natural.
Q: How long until I see final results?
A: Fillers show immediate results; fat grafting takes months as swelling subsides.
