What Is Cheek Augmentation?

Whether the cheeks have lost volume due to the natural aging process or genetics have played a role in shaping the midface contours, cheek implant/augmentation in Denver can help to balance the features and create a more inviting, attractive appearance. While cheek fillers and fat transfer are viable rejuvenation options for some patients, many individuals prefer the dramatic and lasting results associated with silicone cheek implants. Dr. Thompson works with a wide range of implant sizes and shapes to ensure the highest levels of customization and satisfaction. In addition, cheek implants offer an excellent alternative to conventional facelift surgery, providing a more sustainable transformation.

Procedure Details

Cheek augmentation with implants is performed under general anesthesia or IV sedation and takes 1-3 hours to complete, depending on the complexity of the desired changes. Dr. Thompson will create small, inconspicuous incisions inside the mouth where scarring will later be hidden from view. The cheek implants are then carefully slipped into place. Finally, the incisions are closed using state-of-the-art suturing techniques, and the patient is placed in the recovery suite for monitoring until they are ready to go home.

After Your Surgery

After your procedure, Dr. Thompson will provide a customized aftercare plan and prescriptions for pain medications and antibiotics. Swelling, bruising, and tenderness in the cheeks will be most noticeable in the first few days after surgery and then will gradually decline. Most individuals can return to work within around 10-14 days. However, it is recommended that you avoid strenuous exercise for 3-4 weeks. If any questions or concerns arise during your healing journey, don’t hesitate to reach out to Dr. Thompson and his team in Denver for a quick response.
