For patients with a poor facial profile cheek implants may be an option. A small acrylic implant sized to fit your specific cheek is inserted just under the skin. Cheek implants can enhance your appearance and give you the profile you have always wanted. If you are looking for improvement, not perfection, in your appearance and your expectations are realistic, you may find that a cheek implant is the right choice for you.

These implants will are often used to bring better balance to the features of a younger patient.

For example, during a facelift, a patient may wish to have implants placed over the cheekbones to help restore a more youthful appearance. Implants may also be selected to fill out a face that appears "sunken" or tired.
