Advanced Cheek Augmentation in Chicago, IL | Dr. Omotara Sulyman-Scott, MD

Understanding Cheek Augmentation Procedures

Cheek augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to lift and add volume to the cheeks, creating a more refined and elegant facial profile. Whether caused by aging or genetic factors, flat or sagging cheeks can be subtly enhanced to achieve a more chiseled, sculpted appearance.

Who Can Benefit from Cheek Augmentation?

Both men and women experience facial volume loss through natural aging processes. Some individuals may have inherited flatter facial structures they wish to enhance. Cheek augmentation offers solutions through multiple advanced techniques, including facial fat transfer, implants, and dermal fillers.

Key Benefits of Cheek Augmentation

• Minimally invasive procedures with low complication risks
• Long-lasting, natural-looking results
• Customizable to achieve subtle or dramatic enhancements
• Can be combined with complementary facial procedures
• Restores facial volume and refines overall facial aesthetics

Cheek Augmentation Techniques

Cheek Implants

Solid implants made of biocompatible materials like silicone are precisely placed over the cheekbones. These implants provide long-lasting results that typically do not require future revisions.

Fat Transfer Technique

This method utilizes the patient's own fat, typically harvested from areas like the abdomen or thighs. After a careful purification process, fat cells are meticulously injected into the cheeks, integrating naturally with existing facial tissues.

Procedure and Recovery Details

Cheek augmentation is an outpatient procedure typically lasting 1-2 hours. Patients can expect mild bruising and swelling that resolves within 1-2 weeks. Most individuals return to normal activities within 2-7 days, with minimal scarring.
