CHEEKBONE AUGMENTATION

Cheekbone Augmentation

Traditionally a sign of beauty, high cheekbones is something that not everyone is born with. The procedure of achieving a high cheekbone consists of inserting a synthetic implant over the natural cheekbone. The cosmetic surgeon can select the proper size for each patient as Cheekbone Augmentation Implants come in an assortment of sizes and shapes. To correct flatness in the mid face, men also regularly seek this procedure. The procedure is commonly combined with other cosmetic procedures such as rhinoplasty or facelift, as is the case with chin augmentation.

How is a Cheekbone Augmentation Performed?

In the crease above the upper lip, a small incision is made and a sterilized implant that is comparable to the consistency of the natural cheekbone is placed over the natural cheekbone to increase its projection. After the implant is in place, the incision is stitched.

These Cheekbone Augmentation methods can be performed with a local or general anesthetic or in a hospital or outpatient surgical suite depending on the preference of the surgeon and patient.
