Cheek Augmentation/Contouring
Cheek augmentation adds volume or reshapes the cheeks for a youthful, sculpted appearance. It can be performed using implants, dermal fillers, or fat transfer.

Condition Addressed
Cheek augmentation is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the volume, contour, and projection of the cheeks, resulting in a more balanced and youthful facial appearance.
This treatment is ideal for individuals who have experienced age-related loss of cheek volume, sagging, or flattening of the midface, as well as those who have naturally flat or asymmetrical cheeks and desire improved facial harmony.
Cheek augmentation can be achieved using injectable dermal fillers, which provide temporary volume and lift, or with surgically placed implants made of biocompatible materials for a more permanent solution.
The procedure is also suitable for correcting congenital or acquired facial imbalances and can be tailored to the unique anatomy and aesthetic goals of each patient.
Downtime
Downtime following cheek augmentation depends on the method used.
For injectable fillers, downtime is minimal, with most patients experiencing only mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites, which typically resolves within a few days.
Normal activities can usually be resumed immediately, although minor tenderness or swelling may persist for up to two weeks.
Surgical cheek augmentation with implants involves a more significant recovery period, with initial swelling and discomfort lasting about one to two weeks.
Most patients are able to return to light activities after a week, but full recovery and the final contour of the cheeks may take several weeks as swelling gradually subsides.
Bruising, tightness, or numbness in the cheek area may also occur but generally resolves as healing progresses.
Outcomes
Outcomes of cheek augmentation are typically very satisfying, providing immediate improvement in cheek volume, contour, and overall facial balance.
Results from dermal fillers are visible right away and continue to improve as swelling diminishes, lasting from several months to over a year depending on the product used.
Surgical implants offer a permanent solution, with the final results becoming apparent as healing completes over several months.
Both approaches can restore youthful fullness, lift sagging tissues, and create a more defined and attractive midface profile.
Most patients report increased self-confidence and satisfaction with their appearance following cheek augmentation.

FAQ
What is cheek augmentation?
Cheek augmentation is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the contours, projection, and volume of the cheeks for a more youthful, balanced, and defined facial appearance. It can be achieved through surgical implants, dermal fillers, or fat transfer.
Who is a good candidate for cheek augmentation?
Good candidates are healthy individuals experiencing loss of cheek volume due to aging, sagging skin, or flat cheekbones. Young people seeking improved facial symmetry or enhanced cheek definition may also benefit from this procedure.
What are the different options for cheek augmentation?
Options include dermal fillers (temporary, non-surgical), fat transfer (using your own body fat), and cheek implants (permanent, surgical solution). The best choice depends on your goals, anatomy, and desired longevity of results.
What is the difference between cheek implants and dermal fillers?
Cheek implants provide a permanent solution by surgically placing solid materials above the cheekbone, while dermal fillers are minimally invasive injections that temporarily restore volume and contour, requiring maintenance treatments.
How is cheek augmentation performed?
For implants, a small incision is made inside the mouth and the implant is positioned over the cheekbone. Fillers are injected above the cheekbones, and fat transfer involves harvesting fat from another body area and injecting it into the cheeks.
Will there be visible scars after cheek augmentation?
No, surgical incisions for implants or fat transfer are typically made inside the mouth, resulting in no visible external scars.
What is recovery like after cheek augmentation?
Recovery varies by method. Most patients experience swelling and bruising for 1–2 weeks. You can usually return to work within a week, but full results may take several weeks to months as swelling subsides.
How soon will I see results, and how long do they last?
Results are noticeable immediately after the procedure, but final results appear as swelling resolves. Fillers last 6–18 months, fat transfer results can be long-lasting, and implants are permanent.
What are the risks or complications of cheek augmentation?
Risks include infection, bleeding, asymmetry, nerve injury, implant shifting, or dissatisfaction with results. Serious complications are rare, especially when performed by a qualified surgeon.
Can cheek augmentation be combined with other cosmetic procedures?
Yes, cheek augmentation is often combined with other facial procedures such as facelifts, eyelid surgery, or chin augmentation for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
