Facts at a glance

Surgical Procedure
Cheek AugmentationCheek augmentations are generally completed utilizing an implant, but certain bone cuts and bone segment repositionings are useful in selected individuals. Various sizes and thickness of implants are available to fit individual differences and desires. The implants are most often placed with the patient under sedation and utilizing local anesthesia. The approach is usually through the mouth so no skin incisions are necessary. Rarely are implants placed through a lower eyelid incision. The implants are placed through a tunnel, into a pocket under the soft tissues, and immediately overlying the cheek bones.
Duration of Operation
One hour.
Risks and Complications
Bleeding usually comes through the surface of resected bone. However, the use of surgical drains and ice pack immediately applied to the affected area will significantly reduce this risk.
Infection is an uncommon risk. Prophylactic antibiotics is routinely administered pre and postoperatively. After the intra-oral surgery, you need to clean your mouth with a provided mouth wash solution. Nothing must be taken orally for at least 24 hours.
A careful preoperative assessment and a complete set of bone reshaping instruments can prevent such problems.
The facial nerve may be temporarily disturbed. However, full recovery can be expected.
The permanent damage is very rare when performed by an experienced plastic surgeon.
For the mandibular angle resection, there is less chance of injury when using the intra-oral approach than the extra-oral one.
After Care
Special mouth wash should be applied to preserve oral hygeine in case of an intraoral incision.
Recovery
The recovery takes one to two weeks. Most people are back to work within a week or two.
Result
A classically-shaped face contoured to maximize prevalent norms of attractiveness and beauty.
