What is Cheek Augmentation?

Hollow or sunken cheeks can make individuals appear older than their actual age. Plastic Surgery Vegas offers comprehensive mid-face augmentation through surgical and nonsurgical techniques designed to create full facial contours. Patients can choose between nonsurgical dermal fillers or longer-lasting cheek implants to achieve their aesthetic goals.

• Experience age-related volume loss
• Have genetically flat or hollow cheeks
• Experienced significant weight loss
• Seek facial symmetry correction

Procedure Options

Plastic Surgery Vegas provides two primary cheek augmentation approaches: injectable dermal fillers and surgical cheek implants. During the initial consultation, the medical team develops a personalized treatment plan tailored to each patient's unique facial structure and aesthetic objectives.

Injectable Dermal Fillers

Nonsurgical cheek augmentation using dermal fillers is a quick outpatient procedure lasting approximately 20-30 minutes. The technique involves carefully injecting and massaging fillers into targeted areas to create natural-looking volume and contour.

Surgical Cheek Implants

Surgical cheek augmentation is performed under general anesthesia, involving small incisions in the upper gums to place implants above the cheekbones. The procedure typically takes about one hour, with patients released to recover at home following surgery.

Recovery and Results

Recovery experiences differ between nonsurgical and surgical approaches. Dermal filler treatments involve minimal downtime, with results visible within 1-2 weeks. Surgical implant procedures may require 1-2 weeks of healing, with optimal results developing over two months.
