Cheek Implants New York, NY | Dr. Arnold Breitbart

Understanding Cheek Implant Procedures

Cheek implants are recommended for patients experiencing flattening of the cheekbones who desire enhanced facial fullness. This specialized procedure helps add definition to the face, resulting in higher, more youthful cheekbones.

Procedure Details

Dr. Arnold Breitbart performs cheek implant surgery at his Long Island and Manhattan facilities. The procedure typically involves:

• Local anesthesia with optional sedation
• Thirty to sixty-minute surgical timeframe
• Incisions strategically placed inside the mouth
• Precise implant placement and positioning
• Closure using dissolvable sutures

Candidate Qualifications

Ideal candidates for cheek implant surgery should be in good overall health and maintain realistic expectations about the procedure's outcomes. A comprehensive consultation with Dr. Breitbart will help determine individual suitability.

Surgical Materials and Technique

Cheek implants are typically constructed from medical-grade silicone rubber, a material well-tolerated by the human body and proven effective in facial augmentation procedures. The strategic placement ensures natural-looking results and minimal visible scarring.

Recovery and Expectations

Post-surgical recovery generally involves minimal downtime. Patients may experience temporary swelling or bruising, with most individuals returning to normal activities within a few days. Dissolvable stitches typically resolve within ten days after the procedure.

Potential Risks and Considerations

Like all surgical procedures, cheek implants carry potential risks, including:

• Potential infection
• Temporary numbness
• Possible implant movement
• Risk of hematoma or seroma formation
