About Cheek Implants (Malar Augmentation)
Cheek implants enhance cheekbone definition and create prominent, sculpted cheeks with biocompatible silicone implants. This procedure adds facial dimension, improves projection, and creates a more balanced, aesthetically pleasing facial structure with permanent results.
Cheek implants (malar augmentation) enhance the prominence and definition of the cheekbones, creating more defined facial contours. At Aestique Clinic, we offer both solid silicone implants and fat grafting options for cheek augmentation, choosing the approach that best suits your anatomy and aesthetic goals.
Well-defined cheekbones are a hallmark of facial beauty in virtually every culture. Whether you were born with flat or underdeveloped cheekbones, or have experienced age-related volume loss in the mid-face, cheek augmentation can create the balanced, sculpted facial structure you desire.
Cheek Implant Options
- Malar Implants: Placed on the cheekbone for enhanced projection and definition.
- Submalar Implants: Address midface flatness and hollowing below the cheekbone.
- Combined Malar-Submalar: Comprehensive cheek augmentation for both areas.
- Custom Implants: 3D-designed implants tailored to your specific anatomy.

Am I a Good Candidate?
Cheek implants may be appropriate if you:

- Want a permanent alternative to repeated filler injections
- Have realistic expectations and are in good health

Recovery & Aftercare
Cheek implant recovery is relatively straightforward:
- Days 1-3: Moderate swelling and tightness in the mid-face. Pain managed with medication. Soft diet recommended.
- Week 1: Swelling peaks and begins to reduce. Oral hygiene is important as incisions are inside the mouth.
- Week 2: Most patients return to work. Swelling continues to reduce gradually.
- Month 1: Resume normal activities and exercise. Most swelling has resolved.
- Month 3: Final results visible as all swelling completely resolves and implants settle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are cheek implants or fillers better?
Cheek implants provide permanent results with a one-time procedure, while fillers require maintenance every 12-18 months. Implants are ideal for significant augmentation; fillers are better for subtle enhancement or for patients who want a "trial" before committing to implants.
Can cheek implants shift or move?
Modern cheek implants are designed with textured surfaces and are placed in a precise pocket to minimize the risk of displacement. Once healed and encapsulated by scar tissue (4-6 weeks), they remain securely in place.
Will cheek implants look natural?
Yes, when properly sized and positioned by an experienced surgeon, cheek implants look and feel completely natural. We carefully select implant size based on your facial proportions.
