What is Cheek Implants (Malar Augmentation)?
Cheek implants (malar augmentation) are used to soften the angles of the face for a more youthful appearance. The methods employed with cheek implant procedures improve the harsh or gaunt appearance some individuals acquire due to age, malar deficiencies, asymmetries, or a natural bony structure.
Since we cannot avoid the force of gravity or the descent of soft tissue in our face, which is especially exacerbated with age, malar augmentation has become a sensible and rewarding solution. Cheek implants, or malar implants create well-proportioned, prominent cheek bones that make the skin on the face look supple and enhances facial symmetry.
A Good Candidate for Cheek Implants (Malar Augmentation)
Anyone with malar deficiencies or asymmetries caused by trauma, congenital defects, inherited bony structure or age is a good candidate for cheek implant surgery. The minimum age requirement is 18 years of age for this procedure. Typically, individuals do not get rid of their baby fat until they are in their early twenties so the age requirement does not pose an issue.
The age factor should be taken into consideration, as it is sometimes better to go through with a cheek augmentation operation after the face has fully matured. Anyone having a face lift may also consider cheek implants for the most flattering results.
Cheek Implants (Malar Augmentation) Procedure
The first step in the cheek implant procedure, as with any plastic surgery procedure, is a detailed consultation with your surgeon, who will guide you in your pre-operative planning. There are several sizes and shapes of cheek implants to choose from.
X-Rays are sometimes required to determine which cheek implant will be the most suitable for your bone structure, appearance, and desired goal. Measurements will also be taken to determine the degree of augmentation and the size and shape of the implant. These factors may differ for each individual.
Gender is also taken into consideration, as women usually desire softer, rounder cheeks enhancing their feminine appearance, while men typically desire more chiseled or angular cheek bones creating a more masculine appearance. During the cheek augmentation procedure, the patient will be under general anesthesia.
A small incision is made near the area where the implants will be placed, usually in the crease under the lower eyelashes or inside the upper lip. The surgeon creates a pocket to locate the implant, which is stitched to an area of more solid tissue to ensure immobility.
This procedure is outpatient, which means that the patient can return home the same day.
Average Duration of Cheek Implant Surgery: Less than 1 hour
Risks and Side Effects of Cheek Implants (Malar Augmentation)
Potential risks and side effects may include excessive bleeding caused by strenuous activity, facial nerve injury including weakness or paralysis, movement of the cheek implant, infection, undesirable scarring, and allergic reaction to the anesthesia.
Smoking is greatly discouraged for several weeks prior to and several weeks after the chin implant surgery, as it may interfere with the actual surgery itself and cause complications during the healing process.
Recovery from Cheek Implants (Malar Augmentation)
Patients undergo general anesthesia and are often prescribed medications afterwards to reduce the pain and swelling. Patients may experience some discomfort afterwards and mild numbness for up to 48 hours following the cheek implant procedure.
Swelling and bruising is to be expected, but will vary from patient to patient. To avoid further bruising, the patient should eliminate physical exertion during the recovery process. The patient will have difficulty talking or smiling for at least 10 days.
Strenuous activity is to be avoided for about 3 weeks. Your doctor may assign you to a liquid diet for up to 10 days, in which case you may find yourself more comfortable drinking through a straw.
The stitches will dissolve after 2-3 weeks, however if the surgery was executed without stitches, the recovery time is much shorter and the swelling should be reduced considerably after 1 week.
If your job requires strenuous activity, your doctor can request that you rest until you have completely recovered. Otherwise, you should be able to return to work within one week, if your appearance is not a weighing factor preventing you from social interaction.
