I have a long face with very weak cheekbones and asymmetry. Would cheek implants provide the outward (horizontal) projection I'm seeking? If so, what kind / size / placement of implant should I explore? In the attached photo I have provided a side-by-side with a photoshop of the look I'm going for. The only thing I altered is the width of the cheek area.
Answer: Cheek implants The malar area is the most projecting part of the midface skeleton. It is what we consider the "cheekbone." Prominent malar bones are considered attractive. Hence, the malar area is frequently augmented with implants. Oftentimes, a deficiency in cheek prominence is part of a more generalized deficiency in the midface skeleton. For that reason, malar (cheek) implants are often used in combination with other implants - most frequently, with infraorbital rim implants, which build up the area directly beneath the eye.

Answer: Cheek Augmentation The type of cheek augmentation effect you seek is a lateral or width augmentation. This requires either modification of a malar style cheek implant or to have hand carved or custom cheek implants made that only augment the area of the cheek you seek to change.
