Cheek Augmentation in Columbus, IN

Understanding Cheek Augmentation Procedures

Cheek augmentation using cheek implants offers a sophisticated solution for individuals seeking to replace lost facial fullness or enhance cheekbone prominence. The procedure is ideal for mature patients with fully developed facial structures who desire aesthetic improvements.

Types of Cheek Implants

Southern Indiana Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery provides three primary cheek implant options:

• Malar Implants:

Implant Materials

Cheek implants are typically constructed from:

• Solid silicone
• High-density porous polyethylene
• Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene

Surgical Procedure Details

The cheek implant procedure involves creating a small, strategic incision inside the mouth near the gumline or within the lower eyelid. Southern Indiana Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery surgeons carefully insert the implant, creating a precise pocket and securing it to bone or soft tissue.

Procedure Specifications

• Duration: 30-45 minutes
• Anesthesia: Local anesthesia
• Location: Outpatient surgical center

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect minimal discomfort with managed pain through over-the-counter or prescribed medication. Most individuals return to work within one week, with complete recovery typically occurring around six weeks post-procedure.

Potential Risks

• Asymmetry
• Temporary sensation loss
• Potential implant rejection
• Possible implant shifting

Long-Term Considerations

Cheek implants offer enduring results, unlike temporary facial fillers. Incisions are strategically placed to minimize visible scarring, providing natural-looking facial enhancement.
