Cheek Augmentation in Edmond | Sawan Surgical Aesthetics

Understanding Cheek Augmentation

Sunken cheeks can create an aged and hollow appearance. Cheek augmentation offers patients a solution to restore facial volume and achieve a more youthful aesthetic. At Sawan Surgical Aesthetics, patients can select between two primary approaches: minimally invasive injectable fillers or longer-lasting silicone implants.

Candidacy for Cheek Augmentation

Ideal candidates for cheek augmentation typically include individuals who:

• Want increased mid-face volume
• Have experienced age-related volume loss
• Have naturally flat or hollow cheeks
• Experienced significant weight loss
• Have mid-face asymmetry from congenital or physical conditions
• Are in good overall health

Procedure Options and Techniques

Cheek augmentation can be performed through two primary methods: dermal fillers and surgical implants. Dermal fillers provide temporary enhancement, typically lasting several months, while surgical implants offer more permanent results.

Dermal Filler Procedure

Injectable cheek augmentation is an outpatient procedure taking approximately 20-30 minutes. Precise injection points along cheek hollows are marked, and dermal filler is carefully injected and massaged to create uniform fullness.

Surgical Cheek Implant Procedure

Surgical cheek augmentation involves creating small incisions inside the upper gums to place implants above the cheekbones. The procedure typically requires general anesthesia and takes around one hour, with patients released to recover at home.

Recovery and Expectations

Recovery varies depending on the chosen augmentation method. Surgical implant patients may experience tightness and swelling for 1-2 weeks, while dermal filler patients might have mild tenderness for 3-5 days. Full healing and optimal results are typically achieved within two months.

Cost and Considerations

Cheek augmentation costs range from $4,100 to $5,100. Factors influencing the procedure include implant type, surgical complexity, and individual patient goals. A comprehensive consultation with Dr. Sawan will help determine the most suitable approach.
