Cheek implant surgery is a precise procedure that enhances midface volume, projection, and overall facial balance. At Ambay Plastic Surgery, Dr. Raj Ambay uses carefully selected silicone implants to achieve natural-looking cheek augmentation customized to each patient’s anatomy and goals. The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes about 1–2 hours.
Small, discreet incisions are made either inside the mouth or along the lower eyelid, depending on the planned implant placement. This approach helps ensure that there are no visible external scars. Once the incision is made, a controlled pocket is created to securely position the implant over or beneath the cheekbone. Each implant is carefully adjusted to achieve symmetry, improved contour, and balanced facial proportions. In some cases, slight size differences are used to correct facial asymmetry for a more natural result.
Each option is selected based on facial structure, desired outcome, and overall harmony. Patients can review cheek implants before and after results to better understand how different implant types influence facial definition and contour.
