Cheek Implants After Orthognathic Surgery? (photo)

That single view provides limited information about your cheekbone shape but you do appear to have very flat cheek bones. A hyaluronic acid filler like Voluma is a good option but would need to be repeated every two years. You also would likely be spending $2000-4000 each time you had the filler procedure. Cheek implants would provide a robust result that required only a single procedure. Cheek implants usually do not require any subsequent procedure unless there is infection or shifting of the implants but both of those issues are relatively uncommon.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

There are many ways to help the cheeks appear fuller and
more youthful.  Cheek implants are typically
the preferred option but there are going to be risks.  Asymmetry is always a concern when dealing
with bilateral portions of the body whether it is the face, breasts, or
buttocks.  Future surgeries are also a
risk of having any cosmetic surgery especially if there is trauma to the
area.  Dermal fillers such as Radiesse
can be used to add volume to the cheek area.  This option is not permanent and the injections would need to be
repeated every year or two depending on how your body metabolizes the
product.  A fat transfer is another
permanent solution.  Excess fat would be suctioned from any part of
your body and then injected into the areas that you would like to plump.  In order to find the best solution for you,
you need to find a board certified oral maxillofacial surgeon and schedule a
consultation.  After a thorough
examination your surgeon would then be able to give you more definitive
surgical options to help you achieve the look you desire.Be well and good luck!@norrisplastic
