Your cheeks are one of the most prominent features of your face. The fullness and position of your cheeks can influence your overall look. Sunken in or droopy cheeks can make your face seem uneven, emphasize fine lines and wrinkles, and make you look older. Renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Hamid Massiha can renew your youthful look with cheek surgery. His distinctive style and techniques address wrinkled, loose skin to remold the contours of the midface and provide natural-looking, better facial harmony.

Cheek surgeries, like cheek augmentation and cheek lifts, are popular surgical procedures that require minimal incisions. These procedures reduce the appearance of wrinkles and sagging by removing excess skin and tightening nearby tissue. Surgical lift techniques, cheek fillers, and cheek implants may be used alone or in combination with each other or other facial surgeries, like a lower blepharoplasty (eyelid or midface lift), to achieve your desired look.

Cheek augmentation techniques, like check implants, cheek fillers, and midface lifts, help reverse signs of aging and restore a youthful appearance.

Cheek augmentation procedures can restore, improve, or repair the following:

• Sagging appearance of the cheeks
• Loss of fullness in the cheeks
• Sunken in cheeks
• Deflating and drooping volume in cheeks

Deep skin folds from the sides of the nose to the corner of the mouth

Plastic surgery is more than skin deep. Cheek surgery is an excellent option for individuals who want to enhance fullness in the middle face region. Cheek lift and augmentation surgeries can:

• Create a smoother, more youthful look
• Lift sagging cheeks
• Restore skin tone
• Boost facial volume by adding cheek fillers
• Increase definition by adding cheek implants

Having cheek surgery is a highly individualized decision. Your surgeon will discuss your medical history and expectations for a cheek lift or augmentation surgery at your initial complimentary consultation. Your goal for surgery should be to satisfy your desires, not any other person’s requests or perceived wishes. If your cheeks are flat, thin, or sagging, a cheek augmentation or cheek lift surgery can help refresh your appearance. Patients who are physically healthy and have a stable weight are the best candidates for cheek augmentation surgery. Plastic surgery is most successful in patients who don’t smoke and patients who have reasonable expectations of their surgery. You and your doctor will talk more about how you qualify specifically for a cheek lift or augmentation surgery.

To learn whether a face lift can help you, your first step is to schedule your initial complimentary consultation with Dr. Massiha. At the consultation, the surgeon will talk about the procedure, your goals, other options, and the potential risks. Be prepared to discuss your medical history and expectations for the surgery. This is the time to get your questions answered. Your surgeon can also show you cheek surgery before and after pictures.

If you decide to continue care after the consultation, Dr. Massiha and your healthcare team will start developing your unique treatment plan. They need to get the best picture of your health to ensure your safety for the procedure. During this evaluation period, you will continue talking with your surgeon and undergo physical exams. Tests, images, and x-rays may be ordered according to your age, health, and other individual needs. Once the evaluation is complete, your surgeon will recommend a unique comprehensive surgical treatment plan tailored to achieve your goals.

Each surgery will be highly personalized and unique according to your medical needs and aesthetic desires. Dr. Massiha performs cheek surgery alone or in combination with a wide range of comprehensive cosmetic and rejuvenation services.

Make sure to ask any questions you have. Don’t be afraid to share your thoughts with your surgeon and healthcare team. If you do not understand something, tell your healthcare team, so they can find another way to explain it. If you are unsure of what questions to ask, see this checklist recommended by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. It can help guide you during conversations with your surgeon.

The immediate results of your cheek surgery are subtle. However, as swelling decreases and skin around the face tightens, the full effects of surgery will become more noticeable and apparent. Dr. Massiha’s techniques leave no visible scarring, and the final results are fuller, more contoured cheeks and a more youthful appearance.

The cost of your cheek augmentation and cheek lift surgery will depend on your surgeon’s experience and reputation. It is also influenced by specifics like how complex the procedure is and required fees like anesthesia and facility fees. Many of these choices are made according to your medical history and your expectations. You and your surgeon will talk about these decisions during your consultation and discussions before surgery.
