Cheek Augmentation

A cheek augmentation procedure is performed to enhance certain facial features, bring a certain aspect of the face into proportion with the rest of the face, and contour the facial framework to achieve greater beauty. During cheek augmentation, your surgeon will place a small incision inside the lower eyelid or in the upper mouth near the top of the gum line, and insert the implant secured to the cheekbone. The incisions are closed with dissolvable sutures. The surgery is done with a local anesthesia and mild sedation or twilight anesthesia. The result of this procedure are more prominent cheekbones which are a sign of beauty in men and women.
