Cheek Bone Augmentation

Adding shape, volume and contour, cheek implants or cheek augmentation is a transforming surgical procedure for women with narrow, weak cheek structure, as well as those who have lost cheek volume due to the natural ageing process. Cheek implantation effectively enhances the projection of the cheek, transforming sunken cheeks into more youthful looking, revitalised cheeks.

Our plastic surgeon will carry out a full examination and advise on your suitability for the augmentation procedure, as well as discuss materials used, benefits and disadvantages of the procedure, and also whether you may require any other simultaneous aesthetic procedures to obtain the facial balance you are looking for.

 

Procedures

  • Solid Implants We use a solid implant called, ‘Medpor’ – the implant placed through an incision from the buccal sulcus intraorally (within the mouth), between the gum and lip inside the mouth. The implant placement is just above the bone and is usually stabilised by a titanium screw.
  • Soft Implants Soft tissue implants are either: using the patient’s own fat, or synthetic materials such as hyaluronic acid, as used in dermal fillers.
