Cheek implants are a simple, effective, customizable, permanent and reversible procedure that can provide body and contour to the cheeks when they lack strong definition. People who have a weak cheek structure, a narrow or flat face, or those who have lost cheek contour due to the natural effects of aging can benefit from the improved aesthetics offered by cheek augmentation. Facial implants are more expensive than fillers because facial implants give you lifelong results and because it involves surgery. There are two main reasons why patients seek implants or cheek fillers.
The first has to do with bone structure. Some patients are simply not satisfied with the underlying structures of their cheeks. Often, these are younger patients who want a permanent projection on the cheekbones. Augmenting the cheeks can improve the overall balance of the face and fix a “baby face” look.
Increasing the height of the cheekbone makes the face more angular. Cheekbone augmentation with an implant creates a natural projection of the cheekbone that many people find very attractive. Although people of all ages tend to be good candidates, cheekbone implants are often recommended for younger patients who want to find a permanent solution to fix bone structures within the cheeks. The cheeks also serve as a support system for the rest of the skin of the face, so the double chin line often sinks as the cheeks begin to sag. As with any cosmetic procedure, it's extremely personal to decide to undergo cheekbone augmentation surgery.
It's important to receive information about the procedure to determine if the benefits help you achieve your goals and if it's worth the potential risks and complications before proceeding with cheekbone augmentation. Another important factor in the cost of cheekbone augmentation is whether the procedure requires general anesthesia or local anesthesia. Whatever your reason for wanting to increase your appearance, cheek implant surgery is a viable option that can be easily combined with other facial cosmetic procedures, such as brow lifts, forehead lifts, rhinoplasty, otoplasty, and facelifts. Some doctors may say that “cheek implants don't work” but experienced hands have successfully treated hundreds of patients over the past 20 years with cheek implants and have seen great results. In our community, you'll discover stories and photos you can't find anywhere else, including average cost and recovery time.
See why people say it's worth it and some say it's not. Cheek augmentation is a relatively simple and affordable cosmetic solution for improving the overall appearance of the face. You can make a consultation with a facial plastic surgeon to discuss costs. Ultimately, it is up to you to decide if cheek augmentation is worth it for you.
