Different Sizes and Shapes of Cheek Implants?

 Cheek implants come in a variety of sizes and shapes depending upon what the individual anatomical needs are of the patient. The implants can also be placed more laterally if  the width of the cheeks is being attempted to be augmented.  We prefer Silastic cheek implants and in most cases we used the malar implants and occasional use submalar implants. The Implants are inserted through an intraoral approach, placed directly over the maxilla under brief general anesthesia as an outpatient surgical procedure.  They can also be combined with other facial  cosmetic procedures. Please see  the link below for examples of what  cheek implants look like

 Over the past 25 years, I have performed many Facial Augmentations using Cheek and Chin Implants.  Although there are hundreds of possible combinations of shapes/sizes of implants, I have found aesthetically that only a handful create the proper aesthetic shape.  When seeking a plastic and cosmetic surgeon to use facial implants, th consumer must select a surgeon that understands and follows the proper aesthetics of facial (cheek/chin) aesthetics for the creation of a naturally, more attractive face.  

 In simple terms this means, the ability to make male faces more angular = ruggedly handsome and female faces more soft/heart-shaped = feminine/beautiful.  Failure to understand these basic aesthetic concepts leads to relative feminization of men and masculinization of a womans face, which is never more attractive of a change.
