Cheek Augmentation in Little Rock, AZ | English Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery Center

Understanding Cheek Augmentation Procedures

Cheek augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the mid-face area using permanent implants. These implants improve cheekbone definition, providing an elegant and youthful appearance. The technique can transform a relatively flat midface, creating more attractive facial contours and balance.

Implant Technology and Selection

Modern cheek implants feature advanced surgical materials with multiple sizes and shapes. These implants are meticulously designed to complement natural facial contours, ensuring a harmonious and authentic result. All implant materials have extensive safety records from years of surgical use.

Patient Consultation and Customization

During the initial consultation, the surgical team conducts a comprehensive facial analysis to understand patient objectives. Implant selection is personalized, considering individual facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.

Surgical Procedure Details

Cheek implant surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure using local anesthesia with intravenous sedation. The surgical technique involves:

• Small incision made inside the mouth
• Implant insertion at or below the natural cheekbone
• Placement through a small tunnel underneath the upper lip
• Closure with absorbable sutures

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery from cheek augmentation is relatively rapid. Patients can expect mild to moderate discomfort managed with oral medications. Initial post-surgical care includes:

• Temporary pressure bandage
• Limited chewing with soft food diet
• Restricted facial movements
• Avoiding cheek pressure for 4-6 weeks

Complementary Procedures

Cheek implant surgery can be combined with other cosmetic procedures such as facelifts, eyelid surgery, and rhinoplasty to achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
