Cheek Implants Pasadena, CA | Daniel J. Casper, M.D.

Understanding Cheek Implant Procedures

Cheek implants represent one of the most popular facial implant procedures, addressing aesthetic and reconstructive needs. Patients experiencing weak cheeks that create a tired or gaunt appearance can benefit from this transformative treatment. The procedure restores volume lost through aging or creates enhanced facial fullness.

Ideal Candidacy for Cheek Implants

The ideal candidate for cheek implants is an individual in good health experiencing facial symmetry challenges. Candidates should have realistic expectations, understanding that the procedure aims to enhance their natural appearance rather than fundamentally alter their look.

Candidate Characteristics

• Minimal existing cheek volume
• Desire for improved facial contours
• Realistic aesthetic expectations

Surgical Procedure Details

Cheek implant surgery is typically performed under sedation or general anesthesia. The surgical approach involves creating an incision near the eye or inside the mouth, with many patients preferring the intraoral method for its virtually undetectable incision lines. The entire procedure usually takes approximately one hour.

Surgical Technique

• Precise pocket creation for implant placement
• Careful implant positioning
• Minimal invasive approach
• Performed in a professional medical setting

Recovery and Expectations

Recovery following cheek implant surgery is typically brief, with most patients experiencing only several days of downtime. Local anesthesia creates temporary numbness, which dissipates naturally. Mild discomfort can be managed with prescribed oral pain medication, and any swelling or bruising usually resolves within a few days.
