What Is Cheek Augmentation?

Cheek augmentation is a cosmetic facial procedure that contours, lifts, and restores volume to the cheeks. With surgical and non-surgical types available, cheek augmentation can bring rejuvenation and complete transformation to anyone desiring change.

Types of Cheek Augmentation

We offer several forms of cheek augmentation. Our team will recommend which procedure is likely to benefit your cheeks most.

+

Cheekago™

Cheekago™ is a comprehensive technique for the lower face, encompassing buccal fat pad sculpting, mucosal tightening, muscle stripping, and jawline contouring with micro-focused liposuction. Dr. Caughlin is the only surgeon in the world who performs this innovative technique.
+

Buccal Fat Removal

Buccal fat removal is a surgical procedure that removes fat tissue from the lower cheeks, defining your cheekbones and narrowing your facial structure.
+

Cheek Implants

Inserting synthetic implants into the cheeks helps to elevate them and restore volume loss. We will customize the implant's shape, size, and thickness to complement your face
+

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are a good option for those wanting to avoid surgery. These injectable gels highlight your cheekbones, increase the volume of the cheeks, and smooth out wrinkles.

Your Cheek Augmentation Consultation

Your journey toward metamorphosis begins from the moment you walk into our clinic. Dr. Caughlin will review your medical history, carefully examine your cheeks, and explore your goals. Our consultations are thorough and unrushed, allowing us to get to know you and giving you time to ask any questions you have about the process.

How to Prepare for Your Cheek Augmentation

As your day of transformation approaches, we advise our patients to stop smoking and refrain from taking certain medications. We will communicate any specific recommendations to you to ensure that you achieve exceptional results.

During Your Cheek Augmentation Procedure

Considering the range of cheek augmentation techniques available at Impressions Face + Body, we ensure each treatment is uniquely tailored to address your specific concerns. Our top priority is your comfort, making sure you remain at ease throughout the entire process with minimal intrusion.

Cheek Augmentation Aftercare & Recovery Timeline

Your recovery from cheek augmentation marks the final phase of your transformation. As your body heals, taking special care of yourself is crucial.

We will provide detailed aftercare guidelines on incision care, pain management, and rest. Depending on the procedure, you may need to take a few days off work, avoid putting pressure on the face, follow a temporary liquid or soft food diet, and use a special mouthwash to prevent infection.

Results are immediate but may be obscured by bruising for a few days. The true extent of the effects will arise as your cheeks fully heal by twelve weeks post-surgery. However, everyone recovers at a slightly different pace.

Am I a Good Candidate for Cheek Augmentation

You will likely be an ideal candidate for cheek augmentation if you have hollow, sagging, or asymmetrical cheeks, are otherwise healthy, and have realistic expectations of what surgery can achieve.

Cheek Augmentation Benefits

Elevated, fuller, and softer cheeks are among some characterizing features of a cheek implant. In addition, many people find that their balanced and youthful appearance boosts body confidence and self-esteem in everyday life.
