One of the strongest characteristics of youth is fullness of the cheeks, indicating an abundance of healthy soft tissues and healthy fat under the skin. Flat cheekbones can make a large nose look larger and a receding chin smaller.

The cheekbones are largely responsible for defining your face, highlighting the eyes and adding balance to your features. Altering your face's bony features improves your overall facial harmony and beauty dramatically.

Cheek implants (medically known as submalar and malar augmentation) is the surgical use of sterile synthetics or biological implants to bring the cheek into better balance with your other facial features. It is very common to have cheek implants when a nose job (rhinoplasty) is being done.

How are Cheek Implants Performed?

The surgery is done under local anesthesia if alone and under general anesthesia if combined with other procedures like rhinoplasty or face lifts. The procedure usually takes 45 minutes to an hour and a half. It is commonly performed alone or in combination with forehead, eyelid, facelift, nasal or chin surgery

Cheek implants are performed by making a small incision near where the implant will be placed. The incision is made either in the crease under your lower eyelashes or inside the mouth where your gums and lips meet.

Then, the surgeon creates a pocket in the facial tissue. The implant is inserted and sometimes stitched to more solid internal facial features that lie deeper in the skull. Then, the incision is closed, often with one stitched.

Sometimes, cheek implants are designed for reconstructive or rejuvenation. When the most common implant, silicone rubber, is used, supportive tissue eventually forms around the implant after a few weeks. Once fully healed, the implant feels like your normal underlying bone structure.

What can I expect after the surgery, what is the recovery time and when can I resume my work?

As with any surgery, you can expect some swelling, mild bruising and minimal pain. Usually, your doctor gives you prescription medications to control any discomfort. Typical cheek implant procedures create some numb areas around the cheeks and mouth but they rarely last long. It may be normal to experience temporary difficulty smiling and talking after the operation. Most patients have mild to moderate discomfort for one to two days.

You can usually return to work and other normal activities within a week. You will have to avoid strenuous activity and rough contact in or near the area of the implant for four to six weeks.
