For many people, cheek implants can provide new facial contours and dimensions to bring facial features into better balance.

Over time, with both women and men over 45, tissues around cheek-bone area slowly drop down. The process of aging deepens the nasolabial folds around the mouth running from the nostrils to the mouth corners. This imposes reshaping of the cheekbones which would stretch the nasolabial folds at certain extend.

Young people who do not have their soft tissues dropped down but would like to have heightened and well-defined cheekbones can also undergo such an operation.

The procedure is performed by one of the following ways:

    Through the method of liposculpture. It is a process of lipofilling with your own fatty tissue. Fat comes from the patient’s own body, normally from the abdomen. After the fat is extracted, it is purified and then injected until the desired cheekbones shape is achieved;
    Through a silicone implant with an appropriate size for your face, in order to be reached the desirable form and dimension. The implant is put through an incision in the hairy part of the head near the cheekbones.

The time duration of the procedure is about 40-60 min. Stitches are removed after 5-7 days. Swelling subsides within 3-4 weeks. Scares are fine and invisible.

Patients should return to normal social life in 14 days.

The anaesthesia of the operation is local or general, depending on patient’s choice. If the procedure is performed under general anesthesia, it may be necessary to spend 24 hours in the hospital so that your recovery process can be monitored by a medical staff.
