What Concerns Can Cheek Augmentation Correct?
- Posted on: Sep 15 2024
Cheek augmentation is a transformative procedure designed to enhance facial symmetry and aesthetics. This approach adds volume and defines facial contours, addressing common concerns many find bothersome.
Here are the specific issues cheek augmentation can address and how it contributes to a more harmonious and youthful appearance.
What Is Cheek Augmentation?
Cheek augmentation is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the cheeks. It involves adding volume or improving the contour of the cheekbone area to create a more defined or youthful facial structure.
Cheek augmentation can be performed one of several ways:
- Dermal fillers: Injectable substances like hyaluronic acid or calcium hydroxyapatite are used to add volume.
- Fat transfer: A patient’s fat is harvested from another body area and injected into the cheeks.
- Cheek implants: Solid implants made of materials like silicone or Gore-Tex are surgically placed over the cheekbones.
Benefits of Cheek Augmentation
Cheek augmentation goes beyond cosmetic enhancement, by solving several aesthetic concerns. Here’s how this procedure can help:
Volume Loss in Cheeks
Our faces naturally lose fat and collagen as we age, leading to a less youthful appearance. Augmentation can restore fullness to these areas, effectively lifting and plumping the mid-face.
This process helps reduce the appearance of hollows or shadows that can make people look tired or older.
Flattened or Sunken Cheeks
For those with flattened or sunken cheeks, whether due to natural facial structure or age-related changes, cheek augmentation can add projection and definition to the cheekbone area.
Asymmetry in Facial Contours
Another concern that cheek augmentation can address is asymmetry in facial contours. The procedure allows precise adjustments to help balance differences between the face’s left and right sides.
Improving the Appearance of Nasolabial Folds
Adding volume to the cheeks can significantly reduce the depth of nasolabial folds (lines from the nose to the corners of the mouth). This is because the elevated cheek position can help to “fill in” the hollow area that often contributes to the prominence of these lines.
