- Consultation & Planning: A thorough evaluation of your facial structure, often including 3D imaging to preview potential outcomes and select the ideal approach (implants or fat transfer). Procedure: For implants, a small incision is made either inside the mouth or under the lower eyelid to place and secure the biocompatible implant over the cheekbone. For fat transfer, fat is harvested via liposuction from a donor site (like the abdomen), purified, and strategically injected into the cheeks. Anesthesia: Typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. Duration: 1–2 hours.
- Recovery: Most patients return to work and light activity within 5–7 days. Swelling and bruising are common initially and gradually resolve over several weeks, with final results visible in 3–6 months as the tissues settle.

What Is Cheek Enhancement?
Cheek enhancement is a facial contouring procedure that adds volume, definition, and structure to your cheekbones. This can be achieved through various methods, including cheek implants made from biocompatible materials or dermal fillers injected into strategic facial areas. Cheek implants provide a permanent solution, while fillers offer a temporary, customizable option that can be adjusted over time.The procedure creates more defined, youthful cheekbones and enhances overall facial proportions. Whether you're seeking subtle improvement or significant enhancement, your surgeon can tailor the approach to complement your unique facial structure and aesthetic goals. The result is a more sculpted, balanced face with improved symmetry and dimension.
