Cheek Surgery

Goal

Achieving a more youthful facial contour, with full and gently rounded cheeks.

Who is a candidate?

  • People in their 30s and 40s whose appearance has been negatively impacted by the downward descent of fat and muscle in their face and cheeks.
  • People who feel they’ve lost their youthful cheek contours.

Procedure description

  • The operation is done on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia with sedation, or under general anesthesia.
  • The cheek fat is rejuvenated by elevating it upward and backward over the cheek bone. Unlike a facelift, the procedure restores the architecture of the face without removing skin and without adding a plastic insert.
  • The final result is evident in 4-6 weeks or sooner, with continued improvement for several months.

Other options and additional procedures to consider include: Eyelid Surgery, Brow Lift, and Nose Reshaping (rhinoplasty).

“In most individuals, cheek implants distort the appearance of the face when animated. That’s why we rely on a more natural approach that resuspends the underlying cheek structure. It’s a wonderful way to restore the natural contours of your face, giving you the full and gentle rounding of youth.”
