Mid-Face Volume Restoration: Cheek Augmentation in Las Vegas, NV | Michael C. Edwards, MD, FACS

Understanding Cheek Augmentation

Hollow or sunken cheeks can significantly impact facial aesthetics, potentially making individuals appear older than their actual age. Plastic Surgery Vegas offers comprehensive cheek augmentation procedures designed to restore facial volume and enhance facial contours through both surgical and nonsurgical techniques.

Benefits of Cheek Augmentation

• Restoring lost facial volume
• Eliminating facial hollowing
• Improving facial contours
• Enhancing cheekbone definition
• Achieving a rejuvenated, younger appearance

Ideal Candidates

Candidates for cheek augmentation typically include adults who:

• Desire a fuller mid-face appearance
• Experience age-related volume loss
• Have genetically flat or hollow cheeks
• Have experienced significant weight loss
• Seek facial symmetry correction

Procedure Options

Nonsurgical Dermal Fillers

Injectable dermal fillers provide a quick, minimally invasive approach to cheek augmentation. Typically completed in 20-30 minutes, these treatments involve carefully placed injections to restore volume and improve facial contours. Voluma is frequently used, offering results that can last up to two years.

Surgical Cheek Implants

Surgical cheek augmentation involves placing customized implants through small incisions in the upper gums. Performed under general anesthesia, this outpatient procedure creates long-lasting facial volume enhancement with minimal visible scarring.

Recovery and Results

Recovery varies between nonsurgical and surgical approaches. Dermal filler patients typically experience mild swelling for 3-5 days, while surgical patients may have more extensive recovery lasting 1-2 weeks. Results can be dramatic and transformative, offering renewed facial confidence.

Treatment Considerations

• Personalized treatment planning
• Multiple approach options
• Minimal downtime
