Cheek Implant Candidates

You may be a good candidate for cheek implant surgery if:

• You have flat cheeks.
• Your cheeks have lost volume and your jawline contours need improvement.
• You are interested in having higher cheekbones.
• You think your facial features are out of proportion.

Cheek Implant Goals

Cheek implant surgery enhances the appearance of your cheeks and ultimately entire face by:

• Adding volume to your cheeks.
• Improving the contours and definition of your cheeks.
• Improving the structure of flat cheeks.
• Addressing the sunken areas beneath eyes.
• Improving the contours of jawline.

Implant Techniques

Cheek implant surgery restores the youthful appearance of cheeks by giving volume to sunken areas and improving the contours. Facial contours can also be improved by non-surgical procedures including:

• Injectable fillers:  They are injected in the cheek area to give volume to the sunken areas and improve their contours.
• Fat injections: This treatment involves injecting fat, extracted from your own body, in the sunken areas of middle face to enhance cheeks.

The two above mentioned techniques are effective for enhancing cheeks but their results are not permanent. Cheek implant surgery uses cheek implants for enhancing contours of middle face. Multiple options are available for Cheek augmentation Treatment in Dubai including:

• Malar implants – provide higher projection and are placed on the cheekbones.
• Submalar implants – improve the sunken appearance and provide fuller cheeks.
• Combination of both – improves the appearance of both cheeks and cheekbones.

Pre-op Prepration

Prior to surgery, you will have a pre-op visit. During pre-op visit, our plastic surgeon will perform physical exam and will guide you about what you can expect from the surgery. He will also provide you with a list of pre-surgical instructions. Some common ones include:

• Avoid smoking as it can affect healing process.
• Refrain from alcohol consumption one week prior to surgery.
• Discontinue taking any anti-inflammatory medications and supplements.
• Follow the recommended diet regimen.

Implant Procedure

The procedure of cheek augmentation is performed on outpatient basis and takes forty five minutes to an hour and a half. The steps of the procedure are:

• The first step involves administering local anesthesia.
• Then the surgeon will make a small incision near where the implant will be placed. The sites for making incision are:
  • Inside the mouth where the gums and lips meet.
  • Just below the eyelashes.
• Then a pocket for placement of implant is created.
• The implant is then inserted and sometimes sutured to a stronger internal facial feature that lies deeper in the skull.
• Finally, incision is stitched.

Complications

The procedure is quite safe, however, as with every other treatment procedure; it also comes with some complications. You may have some of these complications but they are not for a permanent basis. So, you shouldn’t be worried. These risks include;

• Infection
• Hematoma
• Bleeding
• Bad or slow healing
• Risks associated with anesthesia
• Skin loss
• Seroma (fluid accumulation)
• Unfavorable scarring
• Prolonged swelling
• Skin discoloration
• Fatty cysts
• Lumpiness
• Asymmetry
• Persistent pain
• Changes in the skin sensation
• Numbness
• Displacement of cheek implant
• Unsatisfactory results
• Blindness (rare cases)
• Requirement of a revision surgery
• Thick scar tissue on the treated area
• Cardiac complications
• Pulmonary issues
• Deep vein thrombosis
• Suboptimal aesthetic result

Suggestion – You should be very careful in selecting your surgeon. Also, you have to discuss these issues with your surgeon prior to the treatment to get a full picture of how your exact case will go and the results you can expect. Don’t hesitate to ask questions!
