Question

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I combine sculptra and fillers to get the best results in the cheek.  Sometimes fat is great for long term solution. I avoid implants, I find they cause more problems long term.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Evan Ransom, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for the question. For natural-appearing results, the best approaches are soft tissue fillers or cheek implants. The degree of fullness can be modified with either treatment -- with filler, you can do more or less; with implants, there is a range of sizes and shapes available. Best of luck!

I perform a great deal of cheek augmentation - using both Sculptra and Voluma.  I would stay away from implants as the shape of your face changes as you get older and you may be unhappy after surgery.  There are so many great options now but I suggest you consult with your board certified dermatologist with expertise with facial injections.  Best, Dr. Green

William Portuese, MD · Answer

Patients who are a candidate for cheek implants usually have a flat maxilla and the flat cheek profile. There are many different styles and shapes of cheek implants that can be inserted. The implants are composed of Silastic, and are inserted through an intraoral approach and placed directly over the bony maxilla. Implants simply augment the existing bony structure, and are not  designed to give a very large definition. For many examples and more information about cheek implants, please see the link and the video below

Hello Carissa 2828,As you know, there are two options for lifting your cheek.  The first and least invasive option are fillers.  Volume is an excellent option for lifting the cheeks.  The other option is the more permanent option using an implant placed surgically through your mouth into your cheek area.  In order to receive a complete evaluation and determine the best option I would recommend you consult with a facial plastic surgeon or a plastic surgeon.  This way he or she can go over the expectations, costs, and which option is a better one for you.I hope this helps and good luck.
