Cheek Augmentation with Facial Implants or Injectable Wrinkle Fillers
With cheek augmentation Philadelphia, Dr. Rosen can improve your facial balance or restore that youthful fullness that has been lost over time. He can achieve these goals through several techniques, including surgical placement of facial implants or non-surgical dermal filler injections.
Who Can Benefit From Cheek Augmentation Philadelphia?
The purpose of cheek augmentation is to restore youthful fullness to your cheeks and bring the cheekbones into proportion with the rest of your face.
You should consider cheek augmentation if you are bothered by:
- Inadequate cheekbones
- A hollow or sunken appearance in the cheeks
- Wrinkles due to lack of projection in the mid face
How Cheek Augmentation Procedure Works
Dr. Rosen can perform cheek augmentation during a facelift, blepharoplasty and other cosmetic facial procedures. When performed alone, the surgery can be finished in just 45 minutes. This procedure can be done with general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation.
Facial implants come in different shapes and sizes to meet your needs. In addition to hollow cheeks, they can be used to augment your jaw, chin or lips. To insert a facial implant, Dr. Rosen makes an incision inside your upper lip or inside your lower eyelid. He forms a pocket for the implant and secures it in place.
For a non-invasive cheek augmentation procedure, Dr. Rosen performs wrinkle filler injections into the cheek area. A filler such as Restylane or Juvederm can restore facial volume and provide results (although temporary) that are similar to surgical cheek augmentation. Because the latest wrinkle fillers contain lidocaine (an anesthetic), discomfort is minimized.
After Your Cheek Augmentation Procedure: What to Expect
All cheek augmentation procedures produce results that are immediately visible. While it may take some time for swelling to subside, the results of cheek augmentation last for many years. Possible side effects include but are not limited to discomfort, swelling and infection around the implant.
