Cheek Augmentation
Most of us are not born with high cheekbones. Many people believe high cheekbones are more attractive and beautiful and that a triangular face is preferred to a round one. In addition, as we age, our faces tend to drop and what little triangular shape we have diminishes.
Cheek augmentation can give you prominent, high cheekbones. Dr. Lincenberg customizes the procedure for each individual. One approach is to place a contoured, silastic implant above the cheekbone. If you have a hollow or sunken area underneath your cheeks, implants can be used there to fill out your face. Chin augmentation or fat removal is sometimes done in conjunction with cheek augmentation to achieve maximum improvement.
This procedures takes one hour. It is performed in the hospital outpatient department. There will be swelling and some bruising. You should expect to be out of work less than one week.
