 Cheek Augmentation is a procedure which is performed on patients who have lack of fullness or insufficient projection of the whole or part of the cheek area or under the eye area.
There are many ways in which greater fullness can be accomplished.
Dr. Grossman’s favorite approach for the last 15 years involves Fat Transfer Technique, where the patient’s own fat is removed from an unwanted site (like the abdomen or love handles) and placed in to the cheeks with a special needle that does not leave bruises or scars. Results are permanent. No postoperative pain has ever been recorded in our large group of patients. Infections have not been encountered, but are not ruled out.
Second most common way of augmenting the cheek area is though the use of implants (silicone, gortex or medpore). These implants are placed either through an incision in the mouth or lower eye lid. There is some postoperative discomfort in this procedure, as well as marked swelling and some degree of infections.
The last approach to cheek augmentation is with the use new long lasting or permanent fillers. These procedures can be done within minutes, during the initial consultation with minimal down time.
