If you’re looking to enhance your facial features and add a natural-looking contour to your face, cheek implants might be the perfect solution. At BODY SCULPT, we specialize in advanced facial sculpting procedures designed to help you feel confident in your appearance.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about cheek implants, from the benefits to recovery, in simple, easy-to-understand language.
What Are Cheek Implants?
Cheek implants, also known as malar implants, are solid, biocompatible materials that are surgically placed over the cheekbones to enhance facial definition and volume. They are ideal for individuals who want to:
- Restore volume lost due to aging
- Achieve more balanced facial proportions
- Enhance a flat or underdefined mid-face
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, facial implant procedures have seen a steady rise in popularity, with cheek implants being among the top choices for facial enhancement.
Benefits of Cheek Implants
Cheek implants offer a variety of aesthetic and emotional benefits:
- Enhanced facial contours for a youthful appearance
- Permanent solution compared to fillers
- Boost in self-confidence
- Balanced proportions between facial features
- Improved profile and side view
Types of Cheek Implants
At BODY SCULPT, we offer customized implant options to suit individual facial structures and aesthetic goals:
- Malar Implants: Enhance the prominence of the cheekbones
- Submalar Implants: Add volume beneath the cheekbones, ideal for hollow cheeks
- Combined Implants: Offer both definition and volume
We use medical-grade silicone or porous polyethylene, both of which are safe and well-tolerated by the body.
The Cheek Implant Procedure: Step-by-Step
- Consultation: During your first visit, Dr. Vikram Jeet Dhingra will discuss your goals, review your facial structure, and recommend the most suitable implant type.
- Pre-operative Preparation: Medical evaluation, blood tests, and imaging may be required.
- Surgery: The procedure typically takes 1 to 2 hours under general or local anesthesia. A small incision is made inside the mouth or lower eyelid, and the implant is carefully placed over the cheekbone.
- Closing: The incision is closed with dissolvable sutures.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery is usually smooth with proper care. Here’s what you can expect:
- Initial Swelling and Bruising: Common in the first week, gradually subsides
- Mild Discomfort: Managed with prescribed pain medication
- Dietary Restrictions: Soft foods recommended for a few days
- Activity: Avoid strenuous activities for 2-3 weeks
Aftercare Tips
- Keep your head elevated to reduce swelling
- Maintain oral hygiene if the incision is inside the mouth
- Follow your surgeon’s medication and follow-up instructions
Potential Risks and How We Minimize Them
Like any surgical procedure, cheek implants come with some risks. These may include:
- Infection
- Shifting of the implant
- Nerve damage
- Scarring (minimal with experienced care)
At BODY SCULPT, we prioritize safety. Dr. Vikram Jeet Dhingra, with his extensive surgical experience and advanced techniques, ensures risks are minimized and outcomes are optimized.
