I would like to enhance my flat cheekbones and fill my tear troughs. Will cheek implants fix both? Is there a procedure that would be better?
Answer: Cheek Implants and Tear Troughs Implants to the cheeks do very little for the troughs, but do help elevate the upper cheek to decrease the need for signiicant filler int the trough. See an expert for treatment of this area. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Tear trough correction with fillers and cheek implants Cheek implants are excellent. An alternative would be to use Sculptra and/or Radiesse to fill in the tear troughs and create a more youthful contour in the area. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Answer: Cheek implants can make under eye hollows worse ! Cheek implants can actually make the tear trough area worse ! That's because when the cheeks get bigger, it will make the under eye area look more hollow. For the under eye hollow area (tear trough), best to use either filler or fat or tear trough implant. Sometimes, lower blepharoplasty with respositioning of the bags is the best answer. Need photos for more accurate response.

Answer: Cheek implants vs cheek and tear trough fillers I've seen cheek implants that look very natural and I've seen cheek implants that don't look natural. (For full disclosure, I don't place cheek implants.) There is a filler called Juvéderm Voluma that is meant for cheek augmentation and is very natural looking. It's also easily dissolvable if you don't like (the goal, of course, is that you will like it). Juvéderm Volume is a great way to get improvement without surgery, either in place of surgical implants or to hold off a surgical implant. There are other filler options that may be of benefit for the tear trough. Be sure to see a physician who has experience with tear trough fillers and can guide you whether fillers or a surgical option is better for you.

Answer: Cheek implant candidate for flat cheekbones Cheek implants are really not designed to augment a tear trough, they are designed to augment a flat maxilla and cheek bone. Cheek implants are composed of Silastic, manufactured in a variety of sizes( small, medium, large) and a variety of shapes( malar, sub--malar, and combined). Since the cheeks and the cheek implants are three-dimensional structures, a full set of photographs and in-person examination and consultation is required. Cheek implants are inserted through an intra-oral approach under a brief general anesthetic. Anticipate 2 weeks of visible bruising and swelling after the procedure. For many examples and more information, please see the video and the link below regarding cheek implants
