Cheek Augmentation

Cheek augmentation aims to add volume and lift to the cheeks, creating a more defined facial structure. This can not only enhance your natural beauty but also combat the signs of aging by restoring lost volume and lifting the midface. At Zuckerman Plastic Surgery, we specialize in both surgical and non-surgical approaches to cheek enhancement:

• Cheek Implants: Ideal for those seeking a permanent solution, cheek implants provide a structured, contoured look. They are especially suitable for patients with naturally flat or underdeveloped cheekbones or those who have experienced significant volume loss due to aging.

• Dermal Fillers: A non-surgical option, dermal fillers are excellent for temporary enhancement and are perfect for patients who prefer a less invasive approach. Fillers can be used to add volume, create definition, and offer a lifting effect without the need for surgery.

Cheek implants are surgically placed under the skin and positioned on or below the cheekbones. The procedure typically requires anesthesia and can take one to two hours. Incisions are usually made inside the mouth or in the lower eyelid, which minimizes visible scarring. The results of cheek implants are permanent, offering a long-term solution to enhance facial symmetry and youthfulness.

For those hesitant about undergoing surgery, or for patients looking for a less permanent option, dermal fillers provide flexibility and immediate results. The process involves injecting a gel-like substance, commonly made from hyaluronic acid, directly into the target areas. This treatment can be completed in less than an hour and requires no downtime, making it an excellent option for busy individuals. While fillers are not permanent, they offer a chance to adjust the results as your face changes over time, typically lasting anywhere from 6 months to 2 years.

• Enhanced Facial Contours: Both implants and fillers provide more prominent, defined cheekbones.
• Rejuvenated Appearance: Adding volume to the cheeks can significantly reduce the appearance of aging, such as nasolabial folds and jowls.
• Customizable Results: Whether you choose implants or fillers, the procedure can be tailored to suit your facial structure and aesthetic desires.
• Increased Confidence: Improved facial balance and proportions often boost self-esteem and confidence.

During your consultation at Zuckerman Plastic Surgery, Dr. Zuckerman will discuss your aesthetic goals, examine your facial structure, and recommend the best cheek augmentation option for you. He will also explain the procedure, recovery, expected outcomes, and any risks involved.
