Cheek Enhancement
Cheek implants or cheek augmentation can be used to bring better balance to your facial features. The ageing process can result in a ‘sunken' or tired appearance as we lose volume from our face and both men and women can benefit from the procedure which makes cheeks look fuller and higher. The implants are made from silicone or by using tissue from another part of the patient's body.
The cheeks can also be enhanced by injecting dermal fillers into the cheeks to restore fullness and many people prefer this non-surgical alternative. There are a wide range of dermal fillers on the market, both temporary and permanent, but it is essential you see an experienced medical practitioner.
