Cheek Implant

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. Moreover, the recovery period after chin implants is relatively short with many patients resuming normal activities within a few days.

Common Questions about Cheek Implant

Who would best Represent an Ideal Candidate for Cheek Implants?

The first requirement is good physical and mental health, without any active diseases or any other pre-existing medical conditions. Many women want to reposition sagging skin upward and outward to fill hollows and depressions. People who most commonly have cheek implants have underdeveloped cheek bone structure or have lost soft tissue and the natural padding of healthy fat – due to normal aging – that normally occurs in the face. When the tissues and fat dissipate, the skin sags and appears flattened or sunk and may cause folds and wrinkles around the mouth. Many physicians liken the implant to scaffolding because it holds up the collapsed tissues. Your surgeon needs to take your medical history and wants to know if you’ve had cosmetic procedures or dental problems in the past.
