Cheek Implants [Malar Implants or Malar Augmentation]

Experience a boost to your self-confidence after cheek implant cosmetic surgery. You may be bothered by the effects of age and gravity on your face, or you may have always wanted more pronounced cheeks. As you age, muscles and other tissues may slowly begin to droop, making your cheeks sag. This may make you look older than you feel. Your cheeks and face can have the vibrancy, energy and shape you desire.

You can be confident in your well-defined cheeks. Your entire face will benefit from cheek implant cosmetic surgery because your proportions will be more balanced. Your plumper cheeks will make you look younger and fresher than ever before. Revel in the attractiveness of your new contours, and never worry again about weak or sagging cheeks. Your natural beauty will be enhanced.

A dressing will be applied to minimize any discomfort and swelling. The severity and duration of pain or bruising may vary, especially if Dr. Smith performed another cosmetic procedure at the same time. However, you should be aware that your ability to move your mouth and lips may be diminished temporarily. Stitches used to close the incisions inside your mouth usually dissolve within about 10 days.
