CHEEK AUGMENTATION MIDDLETOWN, CT | DR. MARI REBANE-MAZZOTTA, MD

UNDERSTANDING CHEEK AUGMENTATION

Cheek augmentation using cheek implants offers a solution for
individuals seeking to restore facial fullness lost through aging or
enhance their natural cheekbone prominence. The ideal candidate is
typically a mature adult in good overall health with realistic
surgical expectations.

TYPES OF CHEEK IMPLANTS

Cheek implants are categorized into three primary types:

 	* MALAR IMPLANTS:
 	* SUBMALAR IMPLANTS:
 	* MALAR/SUBMALAR COMBINATION IMPLANTS:

IMPLANT MATERIALS

While solid silicone remains the most common material, cheek implants
can also be manufactured from high-density porous polyethylene and
expanded polytetrafluoroethylene.

THE CHEEK AUGMENTATION PROCEDURE

Dr. Rebane-Mazzotta performs cheek augmentation using precise surgical
techniques. Small incisions are strategically made inside the mouth
near the gumline or within the lower eyelid to minimize visible
scarring.

SURGICAL PROCESS

 	* Create a specialized pocket for the implant
	* Insert and secure implant to bone or soft tissue
	* Close incision with sutures

The procedure typically takes 30-45 minutes and is performed under
local anesthesia in an outpatient setting.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Patients can expect temporary soreness, swelling, and numbness
following the procedure. Most individuals return to work within a
week, with complete recovery averaging six weeks. Cheek implants
provide immediate, long-lasting results unlike temporary facial
fillers.

POTENTIAL PROCEDURE RISKS

 	* Potential asymmetry
	* Temporary sensation changes
	* Rare implant rejection
	* Possible implant shifting
