Cheek Augmentation Surgery

Facial volume loss can occur as a result of weight loss or aging, creating a hollowed appearance and undesirable skin laxity in the cheek area. Patients with naturally flat cheeks may also desire enhanced definition and attractive contours that complement their unique facial structure. Depending on a patient’s cosmetic goals and anatomical needs, they may benefit from cheek implants, injectable fillers, or fat grafting.

Dr. Mendieta is a Miami board certified plastic surgeon and performs facial and cheek augmentation procedures to restore plumpness, volume, and definition to flat and sagging cheeks.

Cheek Augmentation Options


  • Cheek Implants

    Dr. Mendieta meets with patients who opt for cheek augmentation with implants to select the appropriate implants to achieve their desired result. The implants are then inserted into each cheek during a quick and simple outpatient procedure. This creates instant and youthful volume. Cheek augmentation with implants provides permanent results as long as the implants do not experience trauma.

  • Injectable Fillers

    Dermal fillers, such as Restylane® and JUVÉDERM®, can be injected into the cheeks to enhance the volume and improve definition. These products are made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance that hydrates and adds structure to the skin. Fillers are injected using only a topical anesthetic; and they create results that are noticeable immediately. This approach necessitates touch-up treatment every few months to maintain fullness.

  • Fat Grafting

    Fat grafting delivers long-lasting and natural-looking cheek augmentation results using patient-harvested fat. Fat is carefully removed from a donor area using liposuction, purified to remove debris and excess liquid. And then it is strategically injected into the cheeks. Patients who opt for this procedure can improve the contours and definition of their face and body for overall enhancement.


Recovery

The recovery timeline after cheek augmentation depends on the techniques used during the procedure. Most cheek augmentation patients can expect some swelling, bruising, and tenderness. But those who choose injectable fillers will likely have the mildest side effects. Typically, patients can resume their daily routine within a few days of their procedure.

Exercise

Patients who undergo cheek augmentation using fat grafting or implants must refrain from exercising for 7 to 10 days. Those who opt for injectable fillers can continue their exercise regimen within a couple of days.

Results

While residual swelling may obscure the final results for a few weeks; cheek augmentation produces an immediate improvement to the contours and volume of the treated areas. Fat grafting patients can enjoy lasting enhancement to their face and the selected donor site. Injectable fillers are known to last for several months to one year before necessitating a follow-up treatment. Cheek implants deliver permanent volume and definition enhancement.

  • What are the risks associated with cheek augmentation?
