Why have Cheek surgery?

• Correct flat appearance that a patient feels detracts from their features.
  
  
• Improve the balance of the face with the forehead, nose and chin.
  
  
• Improve self-confidence especially in patients whose cheek is flat in relation to the other facial features.

The normal cheek has a prominence just below the level of the lower eyelids and gives a oval curve to the face – Ogee curve. Lack of fullness or flattening can give the face a long thin appearance. The flat cheek may arise as a congenital or familial feature or result from trauma to the cheek or be the result of aging.

The aesthetics of the face requires that each part is in harmony with the others. Thus a flat cheek may detract from the aesthetics of the eyes, nose or mouth. This imbalance can have a major impact on the psychological well being of the patient resulting in low self-esteem. Surgery either to enhance (augment) the cheek aims to restore the balance and provide a natural aesthetic appearance.

Remember surgery will not change you or solve any life crises, but should boost your self-confidence and enjoyment of life.

In order to achieve the optimum result following surgery to the cheek, a clear understanding of the patient's concerns and careful examination of the facial features is vital.

Cheek Augmentation (enlargement) can be combined with other operations such as

Rhinoplasty
Facelift
Liposuction to the neck
Chin Reduction or Augmentation.

Other procedures or treatments that may be beneficial to provide the best aesthetic outcome include

Isolagen
Fat injections
Perlane/Restylane or Outline

The type of operation required to achieve the best result for you will depend on the deformity(s) and your goals and will be discussed at the time of your Consultation.
