Cheek Augmentation and Cheek Implants

The cheekbones are one of the key features of the face. If you were not born with good cheekbones and feel that your face is too flat and could use more definition, you can correct this with cheek augmentation and cheek implants.

What Is Cheek Augmentation?

Cheek augmentation, or malar augmentation, is surgery that inserts an implant to make the cheekbone look more prominent.

This implant could be made of synthetic material, biological material, or be tissue taken from elsewhere in the body. This kind of surgery can give balance to an otherwise less defined face and bring the whole face into harmony.

Some people only need cheek augmentation, but others need augmentation to the sides of the lower jaw (the mandibular area) and to the chin to balance out their features either in addition. Some may need these procedures instead of cheek augmentation. A board-certified plastic surgeon can help you determine what you need by examining your facial structure and photographs.

Cheek augmentation can be very subtle and beneficial when done correctly with implants that are the correct size and shape for you. When cheek augmentation is not done well, the results can be too obvious and very unflattering.

We have a complete explanation of cheek augmentation, descriptions of the types of implants available, and a complete description of the surgery and recovery period at our sister site, CheekAugmentation.com. You can find out everything you need to know about this cosmetic procedure there.
