Cheek Augmentation Houston, TX | Andrew Lyos, MD, FACS

Advanced Cheek Implant Procedures for Enhanced Facial Definition

Cheek implants offer a permanent solution for restoring mid-face volume and creating beautiful facial contours. Unlike temporary dermal fillers or fat transfers, cheek implants provide a lasting enhancement that is surgically attached to the cheekbones.

Understanding Cheek Implants

Cheek implants are surgical devices custom-shaped to fit individual facial structures. Utilized in cosmetic procedures since the 1950s, these implants are considered extremely safe and effective for enhancing facial aesthetics.

Benefits of Cheek Augmentation

• Contour cheeks with minimal definition
• Strengthen weak bone structure
• Enhance narrow or flat facial profiles
• Create more attractive facial symmetry

Ideal Candidates for Cheek Implants

Dr. Lyos recommends cheek implants for healthy patients experiencing:

• Flat or undefined cheek areas
• Prominent under-eye bags
• Hollow regions near cheekbones
• Visible lines and wrinkles in mid-face region

Surgical Procedure Details

Cheek implant surgery is performed in Dr. Lyos's state-of-the-art Houston surgical center, typically under general anesthesia. Implants can be inserted independently or during complementary procedures like facelifts or rhinoplasty.

Surgical Technique

Dr. Lyos creates small incisions in the mouth or lower eyelids, carefully placing implants and securing them to cheekbones using tiny screws. This precise technique prevents implant shifting and ensures long-lasting results.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect initial swelling and discomfort, which gradually subsides. Results are immediately visible but may be partially obscured by post-surgical effects. Full aesthetic outcomes become apparent as healing progresses.

Potential Risks

While cheek implant procedures are generally safe, potential complications include rare instances of post-surgical infection or implant positioning concerns. Dr. Lyos ensures meticulous surgical planning to minimize risks.
