How Cheek Implants Affect Facial Balance and Profile

Cheek implants are built from medical-grade synthetic materials, typically using silicone and porous polyethylene. When implanted, this solution adds volume to the cheeks, giving the face a healthy glow. Depending on the patient’s needs, malar implants, submalar implants, or a combination of the two may be used.  

Cosmetic cheek implants allow the patient and doctor to examine the appearance and sculpt different options to consider. Additionally, cheek implants can add facial volume and enhance facial contour. For those ready to see lasting results and boost their confidence, consider getting cheek implants.  

Facial Balance and Profile 

Cheek implants enhance the definition and fullness of the cheeks. This provides balance and a symmetrical profile, allowing individuals to look younger with improved cheek definition. Incisions are carefully made, and the ideal shape is formed.

Depending on your reason for receiving a cheek implant, doctors may focus on certain areas. Those seeking a permanent solution to maintain an attractive profile may opt for cheek implants. Doctors can offer an asymmetrical look to those wanting to balance the symmetry of their face. When enhanced, flat or less-defined cheeks can offer an attractive balance to the face and profile.

Reasons to Choose Cheek Implants

Cheek implants can significantly improve appearance. Those seeking aesthetic changes in the cheeks have numerous reasons to choose cheek implants. Implants are often used simultaneously in different locations to achieve balanced proportions of facial tissues. People select cheek implants not only to achieve a balanced facial profile, but also for other reasons. 

Reasons why cheek implants are chosen are because of the many benefits, including:

  • Restoring facial shape
  • Improving facial symmetry
  • Creating a youthful look
  • Restoring lost volume
  • Enhancing facial profile and angles

Patients who receive cheek implants can expect to see improvements in their profile. With implants, a more natural appearance can be restored to the face. When trauma or illness affects the face, consider cheek implants. Once out of recovery, implants can revitalize an individual’s cheek appearance. 

Types of Cheek Implants

Facial implants are a safe option that can help patients achieve the desired results. Depending on the type of care you need, a surgeon may choose a specific type of cheek implant.

There are three general shapes to cheek implants. These include:

  • Malar – These implants are ideal for shaping the face in younger patients to create a more defined facial structure.
  • Submalar – These implants are ideal for patients wanting to address lost volume between the eyes or a sunken appearance.
  • Combined – Using both implant types allows doctors to craft an aesthetic that enhances your face’s angles and volume.

Once an implant is selected, your doctor will work with you to prepare for the procedure. Only lasting an hour, the cheek implant procedure allows you to recover at home the same day. Within a few hours, you will be discharged and at home. 

Once the cheek implant procedure is complete, patients may experience tightness in the cheeks, slight discomfort, and soreness. Surgeons will provide you with specific instructions on caring for your face after surgery.
