Facelift or cheek implants?

Cheek Implants are permanent and are done to give a permanent volume enhancement to the midface. On occasion, they are done at the same time as a facelift; hence they don't achieve the same thing as a facelift although certain face lifting techniques can re-position the cheek (malar) fat pad. Cheek implants will not address sagging jowls or a loose neck. That is what a facelift will accomplish. In a sense, a facelift is permanent as well since you will always look better than you otherwise would, but the aging process continues. Any facial implant can cause bone erosion, but it's usually not clinically significant. I hope this helps. Good luck.

Cheek implants provide long lasting results but very different results from a facelift. A facelift tightens the skin, lifts tissues, and rejuvenates the face and neck. Cheek implants simply fill out the cheekbone area.
