Am I a good candidate for cheek augmentation?
To determine if you are a good candidate for cheek augmentation, your plastic surgeon will evaluate your overall health, facial structure, and aesthetic goals. Generally, candidates who have flattened or sunken cheeks, asymmetry, or wish to enhance their cheek contour may be suitable for the procedure. A thorough consultation with your surgeon will help determine the most appropriate approach, whether it be non-surgical options like dermal fillers or surgical placement of cheek implants, to achieve the desired results while ensuring your safety and satisfaction.

What are the different types of cheek augmentation procedures?
There are primarily two types of cheek augmentation procedures: non-surgical and surgical. Non-surgical options involve the use of dermal fillers, such as hyaluronic acid-based products, which are injected into the cheeks to add volume and enhance their contour. Surgical options include cheek implant placement, where solid implants made of biocompatible materials are strategically positioned to achieve the desired cheek projection and shape. Your plastic surgeon will assess your unique facial anatomy and discuss which option would best suit your aesthetic goals and provide natural-looking results.
