About Cheek Implants
Cheek implants add volume and projection to the cheekbones using solid implants placed under the skin. They suit people with flat or underdeveloped cheeks, or those wanting more defined facial structure.
Under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia, the surgeon makes an incision inside the mouth or lower eyelid and creates a pocket over the cheekbone for the implant, which is often silicone or porous polyethylene. It may be fixed with a small screw. Shapes include malar, submalar and combined designs.
Usually a good fit if
- Flat or underdeveloped cheekbones, or loss of mid-face volume with age.
- Desire for stronger facial contours, with realistic expectations.
- Good general health and healthy mouth.
May need to wait if
- Active infection in the mouth or sinuses.
- Unrealistic expectations or fear of foreign implants.
- Conditions that affect healing or bleeding.
How to prepare
- Bring photos of your face and discuss the shape you want, e.g. high cheekbones or a softer contour.
- Expect facial measurements, and possibly a CT scan or 3D planning if the implants are custom-made.
- Review blood thinners and supplements with your doctor; change nothing without their instruction.
- Have dental issues treated first, since the incision is in the mouth.
- Plan soft foods, mouth rinses and a week of reduced activity.
Questions to ask your surgeon
- What implant material, shape and size do you recommend for me?
- Will the implant be fixed, and how do you avoid shifting?
- What are the risks of infection, asymmetry and nerve numbness?
- How many cheek implant procedures do you perform each year?
- Could fillers or fat grafting do the same for me instead?
- What happens if I want the implants removed?
Red flags when comparing hospitals
- Choosing implant size without examining your facial structure.
- No explanation of implant material or removal.
- Pressure to add other facial procedures during the same session.
- Surgeon cannot show results of cheek implants.
