Cheek Augmentation Atlanta by Thomas Walker MD FACS
Cheek Augmentation in Atlanta, GA | Thomas Walker MD FACS
Prominent cheekbones are associated with a youthful and refreshed appearance. Some individuals lack the underlying skeletal framework to create defined cheekbones, resulting in a flattened or hollow-looking face. Cheek augmentation is a cosmetic procedure designed to create fuller, lifted cheeks for a more attractive and youthful appearance.
What is Cheek Augmentation?
Cheek augmentation is a cosmetic procedure that adds volume or lifts the cheeks using various techniques, including:
- Fat grafting and transfer
- Facial fillers
- Cheek implants
Cheek Augmentation Techniques
Cheek Implants
Cheek implants are typically made of silicone and come in various sizes. Dr. Walker will help determine the most appropriate implant for your facial structure, placing it through a strategic incision to enhance cheek fullness.
Fat Transfer
This technique involves harvesting fat from areas like the abdomen, thighs, or hips via liposuction, processing the cells, and strategically grafting them into the cheek area to create a sculpted, youthful facial appearance.
Facial Fillers
Using hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvéderm Voluma or Restylane Lyft, the cheekbone area is carefully injected to increase volume and lift. Results typically last 1-2 years.
Ideal Candidates for Cheek Augmentation
Good candidates for cheek augmentation are individuals who:
- Desire increased cheek fullness
- Are in good overall health
- Are non-smokers (for surgical procedures)
- Have realistic aesthetic expectations
Procedure and Recovery
Cheek augmentation is an outpatient procedure performed under local or general anesthesia. Recovery involves minimal swelling and bruising, with final results visible after approximately one month.
