Who is a good candidate for cheek implants?
Good candidates for cheek implants are individuals who are in good overall health and have a desire to enhance the contours of their cheeks. Candidates may have flat or sunken cheeks due to aging or genetics, or they may have lost volume in the cheeks due to weight loss or other factors.
Cheek implants are a suitable option for individuals who are looking for a permanent solution to enhance their facial appearance. Patients should have realistic expectations and a clear understanding of the risks and benefits of the procedure.
During your consultation, we will evaluate your medical history, facial anatomy, and aesthetic goals to determine if you are a good candidate for cheek implants, and we will advise if other options may be more appropriate.
What are the results of this procedure?
Cheek implant surgery can produce dramatic and long-lasting results. The procedure adds volume and definition to the cheeks, resulting in a more youthful, balanced appearance.
Patients can expect to see a noticeable improvement in the contours of their cheeks immediately after the procedure. The final results will become more apparent as the swelling subsides over the following weeks.
Cheek implants can help restore balance to the face and enhance facial symmetry. They can also create a more sculpted and defined look, helping patients achieve their desired aesthetic goals.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is this procedure performed?
During a cheek implant surgery, the surgeon will make a small incision either inside the mouth or in the natural crease of the eyelid, depending on the location of the implant. The surgeon will then create a pocket in the cheek tissue and carefully insert the implant into the desired location. The implant may be made of silicone, Gore-Tex, or other biocompatible materials.
Once the implant is in place, the surgeon will adjust the positioning to ensure it provides the desired result. The incision will then be closed with dissolvable sutures.
Cheek implant surgery is typically performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. The procedure usually takes about one to two hours to complete.
At Visthetic Surgery Institute & MedSpa™, our board-certified plastic surgeons use the latest techniques and technology to customize cheek implants to suit each patient’s unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. Our surgeons are highly skilled and experienced, and our team is dedicated to providing our patients with exceptional care and natural-looking results.
What can I expect during the healing and recovery phase?
Healing and recovery after cheek implant surgery typically take about one to two weeks. Patients may experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the treated area during this time. Pain medication and cold compresses can help manage these symptoms.
Patients may need to limit their activities and avoid strenuous exercise for a few days following the procedure. They should also avoid touching or rubbing the treated area, as this can disrupt the healing process.
Patients will need to follow a special diet for the first few days after surgery, consisting of soft foods and liquids. They should also rinse their mouth with a special mouthwash to help prevent infection.
Most patients are able to return to work and normal activities within a week of the procedure. However, they should avoid any activities that could impact the cheek area, such as contact sports or heavy lifting, for several weeks. It’s important for patients to follow their surgeon’s post-operative instructions closely to ensure proper healing and minimize the risk of complications.
How long do results last?
The results of cheek implant surgery are permanent, and patients can expect to enjoy their new look for many years. Cheek implants are made of durable, biocompatible materials that are designed to last a lifetime, so they typically do not need to be replaced or removed unless there is a problem or the patient desires a change.
Patients will see some immediate results after cheek implant surgery, but it can take several weeks or even months for the final results to become fully visible. Initially, patients may experience swelling and bruising in the treated area, which can make it difficult to appreciate the final outcome.
As the swelling and bruising subside, patients will gradually begin to see the full results of the surgery. Most patients see the final results of their cheek implant surgery within three to six months.
The results of cheek implant surgery are long-lasting and can provide patients with a more defined and youthful appearance. At Visthetic Surgery Institute & MedSpa™, we are dedicated to providing our patients with natural-looking, beautiful results that enhance their overall appearance and boost their confidence.
