Cheek Augmentation Saratoga, CA | Jacqueline Cheng, MD

Understanding Cheek Augmentation

An attractive face is defined by proportion and harmony. Flattened cheekbones can detract from facial appeal, making cheek implants an excellent solution for enhancing facial aesthetics. For men, cheek implants create a stronger, more youthful appearance, while women typically achieve a more feminine, sculpted look.

Procedure Overview

Cheek augmentation involves using a sterile, permanent implant to add volume and contour. Key benefits include:

• No visible scarring after surgery
• Relatively quick recovery
• Implants naturally integrate with surrounding tissues

Why Choose Cheng Plastic Surgery

Jacqueline Cheng, MD, and her team of double board-certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeons provide personalized care. They carefully examine each patient to determine the optimal surgical approach, creating custom-sized silicone implants perfectly proportioned to your facial structure.

Cheek Augmentation Procedure Details

The surgical process typically involves:

• Local anesthetic administration
• Incisions made inside the mouth (completely hidden)
• Precise implant placement within cheek tissue
• Closure with dissolvable sutures

Complementary Procedures

Many patients opt to combine cheek augmentation with complementary procedures like chin augmentation, rhinoplasty, or facelift to maximize facial symmetry. For patients seeking less permanent solutions, dermal fillers or fat transfer might be alternative options.

Recovery and Expectations

Recovery from cheek augmentation is relatively straightforward when following post-operative instructions. Patients can expect:

• Ability to return home within hours of surgery
• Temporary bruising and swelling for 1-2 weeks
• 10-14 days recommended off work
• Lifetime results that resist future age-related flattening
