Is it even possible for a male to get a good a result from cheek implants or fillers? (photos)

Question

I've yet to see one truly good before and after result with males getting cheek implants. Oftentimes they end up looking less masculine and this is concerning since a man looking to get fillers or implants for cheek augmentation obviously wants the look of masculine cheekbones. Are cheek implants only manufactured for women? Is it even possible to achieve cheeks like the models in the pictures below as a male using implants or fillers?

Jonathan Kulbersh, MD · Answer

Yes, both implants and fillers in the cheeks can create good results for patients.  Both can build up the cheeks and create symmetry.  You must balance the pros and cons of each procedure and do what you feel is the best decision for you.
Fillers:
Pros: No downtime Reversible Quick
Cons: Temporary More expensive in long run
Implants Pros: Permanent Great for patients with poor bone structure Less expensive overtime
Negative: Risks associated with surgery Possible infection Downtime
I hope this helps!

Volume and contouring of the cheeks can be created with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Radiesse, Bellafill, Contour) and Sculptra. Implants or fat are alternatives. Botox and radiofrequency can help slim and contour the jawline. Liposuction can help slim the face. Ultherapy, J Plasma and rf treatments can provide skin tightening and lift. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Hello sordfidkuCheek implants are available in a range of different shapes and sizes, they are mostly customized to fit a specific facial structure. Fillers such as Juvederm Voluma, Radiesse and RestylaneLyft are great alternatives to cheek implants, also fat transfer or injection can be done

Hello and thank you for your question. Male malar enhancement can be
done in one of two ways.  Voluma is an injectable filler which can be
injected into the malar region as a temporary filler.  Malar implants can
be placed as a permanent way to gain volume in the cheek.  I always use
medpor implants with screw fixation.  Silicone malar implants tend to
have a high rate of malrotation over time.  The most important
aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek
consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate
you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

Fillers offer a temporary augmentation to the cheeks, and this procedures performed in the office setting. Cheek implants are performed under general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure. Cheek implants are manufactured in a large  selection of  thicknesses, size and shapes.  For many examples of cheek implants, please see the link and the video below
