Cheek Implants Manhasset, NY | Dr. Arnold S. Breitbart, MD

Understanding Cheek Implants

Cheek implants are a sophisticated cosmetic procedure designed for patients experiencing flattening of the cheekbones. The treatment helps add definition to the face, resulting in higher, more youthful cheekbones that enhance overall facial structure.

Procedure Overview

At Dr. Arnold S. Breitbart's Long Island and Manhattan facilities, cheek implant surgery offers a precise and transformative approach to facial enhancement. The procedure can be performed under local anesthesia, with or without sedation, typically taking thirty to sixty minutes.

Surgical Technique

• Incisions are strategically made within the mouth to minimize visible scarring
• A specialized pocket is created for precise implant placement
• Silicone rubber implants are carefully positioned to achieve optimal facial contours
• Dissolvable sutures are used to close the incisions

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect minimal downtime following cheek implant surgery. While some swelling or bruising may occur, typical recovery is just a few days. Dr. Breitbart provides comprehensive post-operative instructions to ensure optimal healing and results.

Candidate Considerations

Ideal candidates for cheek implants are individuals in good health with realistic aesthetic expectations. A comprehensive consultation with Dr. Breitbart will help determine individual suitability and desired outcomes.

Potential Risks

Like all surgical procedures, cheek implants carry potential risks such as infection, temporary numbness, or implant movement. Dr. Breitbart discusses these potential complications thoroughly during the initial consultation.
