Sheila S. Nazarian, MD · Answer

In my experience, cheek implants look much more fake than fillers or fat transfer to the cheeks.  Perhaps you should go to a different injector?

Toby Mayer, MD · Answer

Having done cheek implant surgery for more than 35 years I can tell you that patients are very happy with the results from the surgery. Make sure you see an experienced surgeon for this. You're only risk would be the rare possible  infection.

A full set of pictures are required before making any determination about placing a three-dimensional cheek implant in to a 3-dimensional facial structure. Cheek implants are manufactured in a variety of sizes and shapes, are inserted through an intra-oral approach under a brief general anesthetic as an outpatient procedure.

Cheek implants and fillers can both be used to add volume to the face to rejuvenate it.  Implants are permanent but need to be placed at specific locations.  Fillers can be used over more areas but may not be permanent.  Your face cannot be fully evaluated with just the one photo you provided, so it is difficult to say which procedures might provide benefit for you.

Barry L. Eppley, MD, DMD · Answer

The limited view picture that you provided does not provide a good assessment of your face. But cheek implants when properly selected for size and style can look natural and are permanent.

Yes, I have been performing cheek implant surgery for over 25 years with great results.  Women are more feminine and beautiful when they have full, soft, 'apple' cheeks.  Cheek implants are a permanent solution for women to have that full soft look!  You ask how you know what is best for you...the answer is to find an experienced cheek implant surgeon with an aesthetic eye!

David Alessi, MD - Account Suspended · Answer

Cheek implants can be done safely and look natural.  Your Facial Plastic surgeon and you will discuss what your goals are and a specific implant will be chosen.  There are several sizes and shapes but they are all made to look natural.  Best wishes.
