Some people may feel their cheeks lack definition and volume due to genetics, aging, or weight loss. Cheek implants offer a permanent solution that creates a sculpted, youthful appearance.

If you are considering this procedure, it is important to understand what makes someone a good candidate.

What Are Cheek Implants?

Cheek implants enhance the mid-face by adding volume and improving facial balance. Made from biocompatible materials like silicone or medpor, they offer a long-term alternative to dermal fillers for achieving high cheekbones and a contoured look.

This facial plastic surgery is performed under general anesthesia, with small incisions inside the mouth or along the lower eyelid. The implants are then positioned over the cheekbone to create a natural, well-defined appearance.

Signs You Are a Good Candidate for Cheek Implants

If you are considering cheek implants, several factors can help determine whether you are an ideal candidate:

  • Lack of natural cheekbone definition – Some individuals have naturally flat or underdeveloped cheekbones, which can make the face appear less contoured. Cheek implants add volume and structure to create better facial balance.
  • Facial volume loss due to aging – As people age, they tend to lose fat in the mid-face, leading to a sunken or hollow appearance. Implants restore lost volume, creating a youthful and lifted effect.
  • Dissatisfaction with dermal fillers – If you have tried dermal fillers but are unhappy with their temporary nature, cheek implants offer a long-term solution without the need for repeated treatments.
  • Good overall health – Ideal candidates should be in good physical health. Certain medical conditions, smoking, or poor healing tendencies may impact the body’s ability to recover after surgery. Discussing your medical history with Dr. Ajibade ensures a safe procedure.
  • Realistic expectations – While cheek implants enhance facial features, they should complement your natural structure rather than dramatically alter your appearance. A consultation with Dr. Ajibade will help determine the best implant size and shape for your unique facial structure.
