Understanding Cheek Augmentation in Seattle

Cheek implants are sophisticated cosmetic surgical procedures designed to improve facial profile and enhance cheek volume. These specialized implants address flat maxilla and underdeveloped cheek contours, providing patients with balanced and enhanced facial aesthetics.

Implant Types and Materials

• Most commonly used materials: Silastic and Gortex
• Primary implant variations: Malar and Sub-malar implants
• Multiple sizes and shapes available from various manufacturers

Surgical Procedure Details

The surgical placement of cheek implants occurs through a precise intraoral incision located just above the front teeth. Surgeons carefully position the appropriately sized implants directly over the cheekbone, ensuring optimal placement and natural-looking results.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect swelling in the cheek area lasting two to three weeks. Mild residual swelling may persist up to two to three months post-surgery. Implant migration is rare, providing stable and consistent aesthetic enhancement.

• Submalar Implants: Designed to elevate and reposition midfacial soft tissue
• Terino Malar Shell: Augments volume-deficient midface
