Cheek Augmentation Metairie, LA | New Orleans Plastic Surgery with Michelle Manning Eagan MD

Understanding Cheek Augmentation

Hollow or sunken cheeks can make individuals appear older than their actual age. Dr. Michelle Eagan offers advanced surgical and nonsurgical cheek augmentation techniques to add youthful volume and lift. Patients can choose between injectable dermal fillers and longer-lasting silicone cheek implants.

Benefits of Cheek Augmentation

• Produces augmented, youthful cheekbones
• Improves profile structure and balance
• Treats hollow regions of the cheeks
• Creates a more radiant facial appearance
• Customizable from minimal to dramatic results
• Provides long-lasting aesthetic improvements

Ideal Candidates for Cheek Enhancement

Cheek augmentation is suitable for individuals who:

• Desire contoured cheek definition
• Experience age-related volume loss
• Have naturally flat or hollow cheeks
• Seek facial balance after weight loss
• Maintain good overall health

Procedure Options

Injectable Dermal Fillers

Dermal filler treatments typically take 20-30 minutes in a private treatment room. The procedure involves marking injection sites, administering filler with a fine needle, and gentle massage of the treatment area. Patients can resume daily activities immediately after treatment.

Surgical Cheek Augmentation

Surgical cheek augmentation is an outpatient procedure performed under general anesthesia. Dr. Eagan creates thin incisions in the upper gums, develops surgical pockets above the cheekbones, and carefully places implants. The entire surgery typically lasts approximately one hour.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect mild bruising, tightness, and swelling for 1-2 weeks following the procedure. Complete recovery takes approximately two months, with results providing long-lasting facial enhancement.

Cost Considerations

Cheek augmentation costs vary depending on the chosen method. During the initial consultation, a patient coordinator will discuss comprehensive pricing and treatment options tailored to individual aesthetic goals.
