Cheek Augmentation / Malar Implants
What is Cheek Augmentation / Malar Implants?
The Cheek Augmentation Procedure
During cheek augmentation, small incisions are made either inside the mouth or under the lower eyelid to minimize visible scarring. Through these incisions, customized implants or filler materials are placed to enhance the cheek structure. Surgical cheek implants are permanent, while injectable fillers offer a non-surgical alternative with temporary results. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the technique and patient preference. Advanced methods ensure precise placement for natural-looking and symmetrical results.
Recovery and Results
Mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness are common for 1–2 weeks. Most patients can return to work and light activities within a week, while full recovery and optimal results are usually seen over 3–6 weeks as swelling subsides. Surgical results are permanent, whereas filler-based results last approximately 12–24 months. Proper care and follow-up help maintain long-lasting, youthful cheek contours.
