Cheek Implants Hillsboro, OR | The Portland Center for Facial Plastic Surgery

Understanding Cheek Implant Surgery

Cheek implants are sophisticated medical-grade materials surgically inserted to enhance cheekbone prominence and restore facial volume. These precision-crafted implants come in various shapes and sizes, allowing surgeons to customize the procedure to individual aesthetic goals.

Implant Characteristics

• Composed of Silastic, an inert medical material
• Available in small, medium, and large sizes
• Multiple shape options: malar, submalar, and combined malar/submalar

Surgical Approach

The Portland Center for Facial Plastic Surgery performs cheek implant procedures through a precise intra-oral approach. Surgeons create a pocket directly over the maxilla bone, ensuring optimal implant placement and minimal visible scarring.

Procedure Details for Hillsboro Patients

Cheek implant surgery typically takes approximately one hour and is performed under anesthesia administered by a board-certified physician anesthesiologist. The procedure involves creating a small incision above the teeth and gumline to insert the implant.

Candidacy and Considerations

• Ideal for patients with flat maxilla or diminished cheek profile
• Suitable for individuals seeking permanent facial volume enhancement
• Appropriate for patients with fully developed facial structures

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can anticipate approximately two weeks of swelling and bruising following the procedure. Dissolvable sutures are placed along the gumline, and patients will receive comprehensive post-operative care instructions.

Potential Complementary Procedures

Cheek implants can be combined with other facial cosmetic procedures such as facelifts to achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Risks and Considerations

While rare, potential complications may include infection, implant displacement, or adverse reactions. The surgical team provides thorough pre-operative consultations to minimize risks and ensure patient safety.
