Cheek Implants in Beverly Hills
Cosmetic implants allow you to sculpt an appearance that matches how you want to look. Cheek implants are an increasingly popular way to enhance your facial contour and add facial volume to a key area. Discover how cheek augmentation in Beverly Hills can boost your confidence, empower your appearance, and provide lasting results.
What Is a Cheek Implant?
- Malar Implants: Ideal for adjusting face shape for younger patients to create a more defined facial structure.
- Submalar Implants: Optimal for patients who want to address a sunken appearance or lost volume beneath the eyes.
- Combination: Use both implant types to craft an aesthetic that lends your face enhanced volume and angles.
Cheek Augmentation with Implants versus Fillers
Physical implants will always provide longer-lasting results than fillers. However, some patients may prefer using dermal fillers to test out a look before committing to it. Dr. Dhir takes the time to understand your goals and provide you with comprehensive information about each option so you can decide with confidence.
Some of the advantages of a surgical cheek implant procedure include:
- Permanent results
- Results remain stable over time
- No need for touchup treatments
- Natural texture and feel to the cheeks
How a Custom Cheek Implant Is Made
- The Consultation: This involves a full discussion and analysis of your current facial structure. You can compare the results of other procedures and discuss what you want your final outcome to look like.
- Creating a 3D Model: We use CT scans to build a full model of the face, including the underlying skeletal structure. This is key to creating cheek implants that will sit well and look natural. You can make any adjustments you want to the design to bring the results in line with your goals.
- Manufacturing the Implant: We send the 3D design of your cheek implants to our manufacturer. Once the implants are ready, you can come in for your procedure.
Is Custom Cheek Augmentation Surgery Right for Me?
Cheek augmentation can be the ideal path toward an aesthetic you love. However, it is essential to ensure you and the procedure are a good fit. Dr. Dhir takes the time to fully understand your situation during the consultation process to ensure that you are matched with the best procedure to bring out your goals.
Some signs an aesthetic cheek surgery may prove ideal for you include wanting to:
- Restore lost volume
- Enhance your facial angles
- Have a more structured face
- Create a youthful look
- Improve facial symmetry or proportions
- Restore facial shape after injury or trauma
Additionally, it is important to be in good health and non-smoking to qualify for the procedure.
Procedure Overview
- Anesthesia: Cheek augmentation surgery can be performed with only local anesthesia for added patient safety. However, many prefer to have general anesthesia and be fully unconscious for the entire surgery.
- Process: Dr. Dhir will make an incision either within the mouth or under the eyelid through which the implant will be inserted. It is placed with utmost care to avoid damaging surrounding tissues while ensuring it settles in the exact position you wanted.
- Duration: The procedure can take about 1 hour on average. However, more complex plans may take somewhat longer.
- Wrapping Up: Once the implant is in place and Dr. Dhir is certain the results match the goal, he closes the incisions with sutures. You may spend some time in the recovery area, but then you can return home the same day.
Cheek Augmentation Recovery & Downtime
Recovery for cheek augmentation starts with about 1 to 2 weeks of downtime. While the procedure is milder than some other facial procedures, the recovery element is still a crucial step in seeing the results you want. Resting, avoiding work, and pausing all strenuous activity are the three pillars of a speedy, complication-free recovery. Additionally, keep in mind:
- Follow all your post-procedure instructions
- Attend your follow-up visits
- Keep the surgical sites clean and cared for
- Take any medication as prescribed
- Avoid damaging or irritating the surgical sites
Seeing Your Cheek Augmentation Results
Cheek augmentation results are permanent, so you can expect to enjoy them for a lifetime. However, remember that it can take a few weeks to see your results due to the swelling. Swelling fades at different rates for different people, but most can expect the majority to settle within about 2 weeks. Residual swelling can take longer but will gradually fade and let your implants show their final results within several weeks.
