Different Methods of Cheek Augmentation

There are several methods of cheek augmentation that can be broadly grouped into non-surgical and surgical.

How Does Cheek Augmentation Work?

Regardless of the type of cheek augmentation, the primary goal is to add volume to your cheeks and add definition to enhance facial symmetry and overall aesthetics. Surgical methods of cheek augmentation involve creating incisions to place the cheek implants or performing fat transfer or grafting. Non-surgical cheek augmentation involves minimally invasive methods, such as injectables (fillers, Botox), to lift the cheeks and give them more volume and a sculpted appearance.

Surgical cheek augmentation methods are long-lasting, whereas non-surgical methods require frequent follow-up sessions to maintain the results longer. Speak to our expert aestheticians at Hortman Clinics to understand which method best suits you.

PROCEDURE

How is Surgical Cheek Augmentation Done?

After the procedure, your cheeks will feel fuller and softer. You will be able to appreciate the lifted appearance of your cheeks. However, the complete results will take a few weeks to become more evident.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Cheek fillers and Botox do not cause pain. However, you may feel a mild tingling or stinging sensation during the procedure. You can choose to get topical anaesthesia to ensure you are comfortable throughout the treatment. Surgical cheek augmentation is performed under local or general anaesthesia.

Yes, you can get a cheek augmentation with other facial cosmetic procedures, such as a facelift, brow lift, or forehead lift. Discuss this with our plastic surgeon during your consultation appointment.

Your recovery after cheek augmentation will depend upon the type of procedure. The recovery time after non-surgical cheek augmentation is usually short, but you can resume your daily activities immediately. 

However, the recovery time after a surgical cheek augmentation may take a little longer and here’s what you can expect:

  • Your doctor will prescribe medications to relieve pain and reduce the risk of infections
  • You will have mild swelling and bruising that may be worse for the first 2- 3 days but will resolve in around two weeks
  • You can return to work and your daily activities within a week
  • You can resume strenuous activities and exercise routine after a few weeks when your doctor permits.

To prepare for a surgical cheek augmentation:

  • You may need to undergo a few lab tests
  • Take medications or adjust current medications
  • Stop smoking
  • Stop taking aspirin or other blood thinners that may increase the risk of bleeding.

You will feel the results in your cheek volume almost immediately. The results of non-surgical cheek augmentation last six months to a year. The results of surgical cheek augmentation with implants or fat transfer are long-lasting and are affected only by the body’s natural ageing process.

The right cheek augmentation technique depends upon your desired aesthetic goals, preferences, and the advice of our board-certified plastic surgeon. A surgical cheek augmentation is recommended if you are looking for permanent or long-term results. However, if you are looking for non-invasive cheek augmentation, non-surgical methods may be the right option.

Recovery times following a cheek augmentation depend upon whether you had a non-surgical or surgical procedure. While surgical procedures require several weeks of recovery, non-surgical methods need minimal downtime.
