Cheekbone Augmentation

Cheekbone augmentation is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance or restore volume and definition to the cheeks, creating a more sculpted, youthful appearance. This procedure can be performed using dermal fillers, depending on the desired results and the method chosen by the individual.

1. Dermal Fillers:

   • The most common, non-surgical method for cheek augmentation.

   • Hyaluronic acid-based fillers (e.g., Juvederm, Restylane) are injected into the cheeks to add volume and enhance the contour.

   • Results are temporary, typically lasting 6 to 18 months, depending on the type of filler used and the patient’s metabolism.

   • This method has minimal downtime, is quick, and offers natural-looking results.

Benefits of Cheekbone Augmentation:

• Restores lost volume: Ageing can cause cheeks to lose volume, resulting in a sunken or hollow appearance. Augmentation helps restore fullness.

• Improves facial balance: Enhancing the cheekbones can create a more proportional, harmonious look by balancing the features of the face.

• Creates a youthful, lifted look: Well-defined cheekbones are often associated with youth, and augmentation helps to lift and tighten the mid-face.

• Customisable results: Whether through fillers or implants, the procedure can be tailored to achieve subtle or more dramatic enhancements based on the patient’s goals.

Who Is a Candidate?

• Individuals with naturally flat or poorly defined cheekbones.

• Those experiencing age-related volume loss in the mid-face area.

• People seeking to enhance facial symmetry or improve the contour of their face.

• Candidates looking for non-surgical options often prefer dermal fillers, while those desiring a more permanent solution may opt for implants.

Recovery and Downtime:

• Dermal Fillers: Recovery is quick, with most patients experiencing mild swelling or bruising that subsides within a few days. Normal activities can be resumed almost immediately.

Potential Side Effects and Risks:

Temporary swelling, bruising, lumps, or asymmetry. Rare risks include allergic reactions, infection, or filler migration.

Cheekbone augmentation can dramatically improve facial aesthetics, giving a more youthful and balanced appearance.
