The face is one of the most important attributes of female beauty – a symbol of attractiveness and desire. Many women are not completely happy with the fullness and shape of their cheeks and today women who are unhappy with their cheeks have many options which include Cheek Implants.
High, prominent cheekbones are one of the facial features most frequently associated with beauty. A deficient or flat cheek structure can make your face look drawn and gaunt whether caused by congenital deficiency, age related bone re-absorption or facial trauma.
Whether you want heightened and well-formed cheekbones like the ones you had when you were young or you’ve never had well-defined cheekbones, cheek implants may produce a dramatic change. It is important to achieve the correct balance as over-prominent cheeks can give an appearance of overweight and can look very unnatural. For many people cheek implants can provide new facial contours and dimensions to bring facial features into better balance.

• To increase self confidence and enhance self image
• To give a more youthful appearance in a natural way
• To strengthen your profile by making the cheeks more prominent
• To give fullness to flat cheekbones
• To bring facial features in to better balance
• To correct a congenital heredity

Cheek implants are made in various shapes and sizes. They are made out of materials that have been used successfully for years. Facial implants have proven to provide a safe, predictable, low-risk cosmetic surgical procedure. Facial implants are made from non-toxic materials such as expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) and silicone and have been implanted with no reported cases of allergic reaction. There is no scientific evidence to show that this is a harmful substance. The implants, designed specifically for use in the cheek come in a variety of shapes and sizes. The implants are custom-trimmed by your surgeon for a more natural fit and when positioned and inserted look and feel normal so no one can tell the difference.

The best candidates are those who are in good physical health, are mentally and psychologically stable, preferably do not smoke, those who want to improve their appearance and those who have realistic expectations about the procedure and the results. Extra reasons may include:

• Want to add definition to the face, especially the upper face
• Have no known allergies to the implant material used

Pre-visit and during consultations the surgeon will try to evaluate your physical-mental health and any medical conditions. In order to obtain the best results it is important that you are honest with the surgeon, that you advise any previous surgeries, if you are taking any medications, herbal supplements, vitamins or other drugs and if you smoke. Be sure to discuss your expectations and goals. the surgeon is here to guide, advise and explain to you how the surgery will be performed, possible alternative that may offer better results, the risks and limitations of each as well as details of follow up and after care.

Be sure to tell the surgeon about any allergies you have (to foods, drugs, environmental elements) or if any of the following pre-existing conditions exist:

• thyroid problems such as hypothyroidism
• insufficient tear production or dryness of the eye
• elevated blood pressure or other circulatory disorders
• cardiovascular disease
• diabetes
• ophthalmic problems
• any other serious medical condition(s)

Carefully follow any instructions your surgeon gives you regarding eating and drinking. Avoid aspirin and aspirin-containing medicines for 2 weeks prior to surgery

The Procedure

Incisions are either made at the top of the upper lip, near the gums, or on the outer cheek, slightly below the lower eyelid. The implant of the size and shape that the surgeon has selected is then inserted through these incisions into a pocket created in the tissue. In some cases, a small titanium screw is used to attach the implant and the bone. The implants are placed on or below the cheekbones and the incisions are closed with sutures that the body absorbs. When cheek implant surgery is performed in conjunction with other facial procedures, the implants may be inserted through the incisions used for that procedure.

The stitches in the mouth dissolve in approximately 10 days. There may be tightness, bruising and swelling for up to 2 weeks after surgery. A liquid diet may be recommended for a few days due to swelling the results of surgery may not be clearly visible for up to 4 months. This varies, particularly if cheek implants were performed in conjunction with another surgery. Normal activities such as talking, yawning, smiling and eating may be uncomfortable also during this time Make up can be worn the day after surgery and most patients can return to work after a couple of days.

The results of Cheek implants are permanent – however an implant may shift over time or need to be exchanged or removed.
