Who is a good candidate for a cheek augmentation?
There are people who, due to age, lose the contour of the cheekbones, or have them flat or do not feel comfortable with their cheekbones. The fact that it is a fairly simple surgery and the moderate cost of cheek implants makes cheek surgery especially attractive for many people and a good cosmetic solution. The most important thing is to have realistic expectations about the results you can achieve, so talking to your surgeon is essential. In the consultation of Dr. Vicente Paloma you can inform yourself about the price of the increase in cheekbones for your specific case.
Cheek augmentation surgery
Cheek augmentation is done by inserting a prosthesis that adapts to the surface of the malar bone. When the implant is not performed in combination with other plastic surgery treatments, the incision is made inside the mouth, above the groove between the upper lip and the gums, so the internal scar is not visible. The surgeon creates a tunnel that ends in the cavity that will house the prosthesis on the malar bone. Local anesthesia is generally used for cheek augmentation, however, depending on the preferences of the patient and the surgeon, general anesthesia may be used. The intervention normally takes 30 to 45 minutes.
