Cheek surgery is also known as cheek augmentation surgery or cheek implant surgery. Cheek implants add fullness and definition to the cheeks restoring a more youthful profile by increasing the projection of the cheekbones. Elevating the cheekbones gives the face a new sense of symmetry as well as elevated all the other elements of the face leading to a more youthful appearance.
Cheek surgery is done through incisions in the mouth and patients can often go home the same day as the procedure with some swelling. Most patients are able to return to work within a week.
Injectable fillers such as Sculptra and Radiesse can also be used to elevate the cheekbones without surgery.
