Can cheek implants get me the hollow cheek look? (photos)

Question

Or is it a waste of money? Also would I lose my cheek dimples from doing cheek implants?

Desired result may be achieved in different ways. You should seek a consultation with an experienced board certified plastic surgeon for detailed evaluation and discuss your options. Good luck.

Cheek implants are placed for patients to give added volume to the cheek area, and not make them look more hollow. Cheek implants are composed of Silastic, and are inserted through intra-oral approach under a brief general anesthesia.

Hi, I have performed many cheek augmentations using dermal fillers or cheek implants for a permanent enhancemenet for over 30 years.  From the photo, your cheeks are very flat anteriorly (in the front), there is some excess fat in the lower face and the chin is very weak as are the mandibular angles.  A weak chin creates an imbalance that makes the nose
appear larger, the lower face short and the mid face appear top heavy.    Following the beauty principles outlined in my book on face and body beauty, male faces look ruggedly handsome when there is angularity in the cheeks, chin and mandibular angles.  Chin augmentation, using a chin implant, will add projection to the chin creating harmony and balance to the lower face. I have found placing a silastic chin implant through a small, curved, incisions under the chin to be very safe, quick, highly effective and far less invasive than a sliding genioplasty that requires bone cuts with placement of screws and metal plates.  In addition to chin augmentation, cheek augmentation with either a dermal filler or cheek implants (for a permanent enhancement) will add angularity to the cheeks.  Mandibular angle augmentation with a dermal filler (jaw implants IMHO have too many unwanted side effects) will add volume, angularity and flare to the jaw line.

Hope
this helps.

Hi ,Cheek implants can give you a more chiseled look, If you added a buccal fat extraction that would enhance the hollow cheek look. You should not lose your dimples from either procedure.Best,Dr.S.
