Add the Balance and Definition Your Face Has Been Missing

Flat or naturally low cheekbones can leave the rest of your face feeling slightly out of proportion, even when nothing else about your appearance has changed. Because our team includes board-certified/eligible surgeons with decades of combined experience in facial procedures, we approach cheek augmentation in Jackson, MS, with close attention to how this one area affects the balance of your whole face, regardless of which method gets you there.

What Is Cheek Augmentation?

Cheek augmentation refers to any approach used to enhance the shape, volume, or projection of the cheeks. Rather than one specific procedure, it covers a range of options, from a permanent surgical implant to injectable fillers or your own fat, so the right approach depends on your goals, how long you want results to last, and whether you're ready for surgery. We'll help determine which of these fits your goals, timeline, and comfort with surgery during your consultation.

Cheek Implants

Cheek implants are a surgical option that provides a permanent, structural change to the cheek, typically placed through a small incision inside the mouth or along the lower eyelid.

Fat Transfer

Fat transfer uses your own fat, harvested through liposuction from another area of the body, to add natural volume to the cheeks, offering a more permanent result than fillers without a synthetic implant.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are a nonsurgical option that restores volume and definition with no downtime, though results are temporary and typically require repeat treatments to maintain.

The Benefits of Cheek Augmentation

  • Improved Facial Proportion: Fuller cheeks can bring better overall balance to the face.
  • Enhanced Definition: Augmentation adds structure and contour to naturally flat or low cheekbones.
  • Corrected Asymmetry: Treatment can address natural differences in volume or projection between sides.
  • Customizable Results: Implant size and shape, fat volume, or filler amount can all be tailored to your specific goals.
  • A Range of Options: Whether you want a permanent surgical change or a temporary, nonsurgical option, there's an approach suited to your goals.

Your Cheek Augmentation Results and Recovery

Recovery depends entirely on which method you choose. Implants and fat transfer involve some swelling and tenderness over the first one to two weeks, with final results visible over the following month, and are considered long-lasting. Dermal fillers involve little to no downtime, with results visible immediately, though they typically last several months to a year before a follow-up treatment is needed.

Cheek Augmentation Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between cheek implants, fat transfer, and dermal fillers?

Implants offer a permanent, surgical solution using a synthetic device. Fat transfer uses your own fat for a similarly long-lasting result without an implant. Dermal fillers offer a temporary, nonsurgical option. We'll help determine which fits your goals during your consultation.

Will I have visible scarring?

Incisions for cheek implants are typically placed inside the mouth or along the lower eyelid, resulting in minimal visible scarring. Fat transfer and fillers involve no visible scarring.

How long before I can return to normal activity?

This depends on the method. Fillers involve little to no downtime, while implants and fat transfer typically require about a week before returning to normal activity.

Can cheek augmentation address asymmetry?

Yes, any of these methods can be tailored to address differences in volume or projection between cheeks.

How long do results last?

Implants are generally permanent, fat transfer results are long-lasting, and dermal fillers typically last several months to a year.

Can cheek augmentation be combined with other facial procedures?

Yes, cheek augmentation is often combined with procedures like a mid-facelift or facial implants for more comprehensive results.

Is financing available for cheek augmentation?

Yes, we offer financing options for patients interested in learning more. Ask our team during your consultation for details.
