Rating: 4.9 (341 reviews)

Only a small percentage of us are fortunate enough to be born with prominent cheekbones and full, proportionate cheeks. And as we get older, many of us start to lose the natural volume in these areas, which can make our cheeks look hollow or unbalanced. If you aren’t satisfied with the way your cheeks look, cheek implants could be just the solution you’re looking for.

What Are Cheek Implants?

Cheek implant surgery, also known as cheek augmentation, is a cosmetic surgical procedure used to add lift and definition to the cheekbones and/or volume to the cheeks. The surgery is often performed to restore lost facial volume from aging and improve the overall balance of the face.

How Do Cheek Implants Work?

Cheek implant surgery is performed by placing customized implants, which are typically made of solid silicone, into the cheek areas through small incisions that are hidden inside the mouth. The specific placement depends on which type of cheek implants you’re receiving. There are three common types of implants used for cheek augmentation surgery:

Malar Implants

Malar implants are placed directly over the cheekbones to increase their projection.

Submalar Implants

Submalar implants are placed a bit lower, directly below the cheekbones. These implants are meant to increase the fullness of the cheeks.

Malar/Submalar Combination Implants

Malar/submalar combination implants are exactly what the name suggests. These implants combine the two main types of cheek implants, creating both fuller cheeks and more prominent cheekbones.

Benefits of Cheek Implants

Increased cheekbone projection
Fuller, natural-looking cheeks
More balanced facial proportions
Restored lost cheek volume due to aging
Improved self-confidence

What Should I Expect During the Surgery?

The first step toward undergoing cheek implant surgery is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Weber. During this meeting, the doctor will give you thorough information about the procedure and your options. He will answer any questions that you have and put together a personalized treatment plan to achieve your aesthetic goals. Dr. Weber will also take a look at your cheeks and review your medical history.

Cheek augmentation is typically an outpatient procedure and Dr. Weber will begin by administering either local or general anesthesia. He will then make small incisions inside the mouth. Next, the doctor will carefully insert your customized cheek implants and position them based on your treatment plan. Finally, he will close the incisions to complete the surgery. On average, cheek implant surgery takes around 60 minutes.

How Long Is the Recovery Time?

You may experience some swelling, bruising and soreness after your cheek implant surgery and you will need to rest for roughly one week. After that, you should be able to return to work and your normal routine, but you should avoid strenuous physical activity for one to two weeks.

In-Office Surgery Convenient, Safe and Cost-effective

Dr. Weber’s commitment to in-office surgery is a reflection of his overall dedication to surgical excellence and patient safety. He favors a streamlined, stress-free patient journey that eliminates complicating factors. Dr. Weber performs around 90% of his facial procedures in-house because he believes it maximizes communication, reduces costs and downtime and minimizes the risk of anesthesia-related complications. As an alternative to general anesthesia, patients can undergo a restful “beauty sleep” through oral sedation and local anesthesia.

Am I a Candidate for Cheek Implants?

Adults who are unsatisfied with the appearance of their cheeks may be good candidates for cheek implants in Denver. Ideal candidates for the surgery should meet the following requirements:

Have a desire to increase the projection of your cheekbones and/or the fullness of your cheeks
Be in good physical health
Have reasonable expectations
Be a non-smoker

What Is the Cost of Cheek Implants?

Cheek implant surgery starts at $6,000, with individual factors to consider that may influence the cost. This procedure is performed in-office at Weber Facial Plastic Surgery, without the need for an IV or general anesthesia. The final cost of services will be discussed during your private consultation with Dr. Stephen Weber. If necessary, our office can assist you in applying for financing.

How Long Will It Take To See Results After Cheek Implants?

Most patients can see the results of their cheek implant surgery immediately after the procedure. However, the full effects may not become visible until the swelling has subsided, which may take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. The results of chin implant surgery are extremely long-lasting and typically remain for a lifetime.

Cheek Implants FAQs

How Much Do Cheek Implants Cost in Denver?

Cheek implant surgery at Weber Facial Plastic Surgery starts at $6,000. Your final cost depends on your individual treatment plan and will be reviewed during your private consultation with Dr. Stephen Weber. Our office can also help you apply for financing.

Will I Have Visible Scars After Cheek Implant Surgery?

No. Dr. Weber places cheek implants through small incisions hidden inside the mouth, so there are no external scars on your face.

Which Type of Cheek Implant Is Right for Me?

That depends on your anatomy and goals. Malar implants increase cheekbone projection, submalar implants add fullness just below the cheekbones and combination implants do both. Dr. Weber will evaluate your midface during your consultation and recommend the style that best complements your features.

Will I Be Awake During Cheek Implant Surgery?

Dr. Weber performs cheek implant surgery in his office using oral sedation and local anesthesia rather than general anesthesia. You will rest comfortably in a relaxed "beauty sleep" throughout the procedure, which typically takes about 60 minutes.

How Long Do Cheek Implants Last?

Cheek implants are a long-term solution. Made of solid silicone, they typically last a lifetime. You will notice an improvement right away, though final results become clear once swelling subsides over several weeks to a few months.

When Can I Return to Work After Cheek Implants?

Most patients rest for about one week before returning to work and their normal routine. Plan to avoid strenuous physical activity for one to two weeks. Some swelling, bruising and soreness are normal early in recovery.

Should I Choose Cheek Implants or Dermal Fillers?

Both can restore volume to the cheeks. Dermal fillers offer a non-surgical option with temporary results, while cheek implants provide lasting structural enhancement. As a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon and National Physician Trainer for Allergan, Dr. Weber can help you decide which approach best fits your goals.
