Cheek Augmentation Fairfax, VA | Plastic Surgeon Fairfax, VA: Joseph Michaels, MD

Understanding Cheek Augmentation

Cheek augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to volumize and enhance the contours of the cheek area. As we age, sagging skin and fat loss can diminish facial fullness, revealing signs of aging. With cheek augmentation, patients can restore youthful facial vitality through three primary techniques: cheek implants, fat transfer, and cheek fillers.

Cheek Augmentation Methods

Cheek Implants

Cheek implants are crafted from medical-grade soft silicone and offer permanent facial enhancement. Patients can choose from malar implants that accentuate cheekbones, submalar implants to fill cheek hollowness, or combined implants that enhance both areas.

Cheek Fillers

Minimally invasive cheek fillers provide temporary volume enhancement through injectable treatments. Options include hyaluronic acid, polylactic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, and polymethylmethacrylate fillers, each offering unique benefits and lasting between 6-24 months.

Fat Transfer to Cheeks

Fat transfer utilizes a patient's own tissue, harvested through liposuction and strategically reinjected into the cheek area. This natural approach provides long-lasting facial rejuvenation with minimal downtime.

Candidacy for Cheek Augmentation

Ideal candidates for cheek augmentation are healthy individuals seeking to:

Restore facial volume
Define cheekbone structure
Reduce visible signs of aging
Improve facial symmetry

Procedure Expectations

During your personalized consultation, Dr. Michaels will comprehensively evaluate your facial anatomy, discuss your aesthetic goals, and recommend the most suitable cheek augmentation technique.

Recovery and Results

Recovery varies by procedure, with most patients returning to normal activities within one week. Full results typically emerge over several weeks as swelling subsides.

For patients who are trying to schedule after weight-loss surgeries, you may be interested to know that the office will not even schedule a *consultation* until 1 year post-op. I was also told that when you call to schedule this consultation, the schedule is booked out for approximately another 1 year, which means that at a minimum, you will not be able to schedule a *consultation* until 2 years post-op. I totally understand needing to wait to take any kind of surgical *action* until 1-2 years post-op, with stabilized weight for a set period of time (3 months or so). However, I wanted a consultation to discuss the procedures the doctor thinks I might need, as well as to ensure I do everything possible to potentially get any kind of coverage by my insurance company for some of these upcoming procedures. Basically, I wanted to create a "game-plan," then schedule an appointment to prepare for the procedures themselves later on down the line (1-1.5 years post-op). The office told me I can't even call to set up the consultation until my 1 year post-op anniversary. They will not even schedule me on the calendar *after* my 1 year date if I *call* before the 1 year date.

Dr Joseph Michaels is the BEST. I traveled out of the state for him to operate on me and it was so well worth it. Also well worth the wait. He is genuinely the best Plastic surgeon. He listened to my concerns and wishes, he used his expertise and magical hands and was able to transform my body into what I dreamed of. I’m so happy with my results. I didn’t look like this when I was 16, Now I’m 49 and finally happy with my body and how I look. Thank you Dr Michaels for your giving me what I wanted and for making my dream a reality.
