Cheek Implants

Cheek implant surgery (scientifically also known as 'submalar augmentation' or 'malar augmentation') is a kind of cosmetic surgery that is intended to create the cheekbones in a person's face in such a manner that it will give a real definition of gorgeous face. Implanting the cheekbone gives the face a new sense of balance that often creates a more proportional and youthful as well as vibrant appearance. The cheek implant surgery is done for either cosmetic or reconstructive purposes so that a complete facial ridge appears to make it lovely look. Surgery raises the cheekbones and harmonies facial features which are too flat and out of proportion with the rest of the face.

Surgical procedure is performed under general anesthesia for the less experience of pain and discomfort. Cheek implant surgical procedure is performed by surgeon where incisions are either made in the crease under lower eyelashes or inside the mouth where gums and lips meet. The size and shape of the implant that the surgeon has selected is then inserted through these incisions into a pocket created in the tissue. In some instances, a small titanium screw is used to append the implant and the bone. The implants are positioned on or below the cheekbones and the incisions are closed with sutures. The substance used for the implant is normally silicone or another artificial material that is tolerated well by the human body. Sometimes bone graft is also necessary to perform a strong and successful cheek implants.

Cheek implant surgery is generally performed on an outpatient basis. Operation usually takes 1-2 hours to complete. Generally patient can be discharge from the hospital on same day, however if the cheek implant surgery is performed in combination with other cosmetic procedures then an overnight stay is required for the comfort of patient. Stitches are usually dissolved approximately after 10-12 days. Patients can resume normal regular activities within a few days.
