Cheek Augmentation

It has always been my impression that a good looking, balanced face is more square than oval. This necessitates having well developed cheeks and angles to the jaw. For a face to look more feminine, the cheeks are stronger than the angles. And vice versa for a face to be more masculine. To this end, we usually augment the cheeks with either the person’s own fat, injectable fillers or synthetic cheek implants. The implants I use are made of silicone and are screwed to the cheekbone with a tiny titanium steel screw. This ensures that stability and symmetry will be maintained and not change over time. The approach is under the upper lip, and either a malar implant is used to augment the cheekbone area or a combined implant is used to augment both the cheekbone and sub-cheekbone areas.
