Methods used for cheek augmentation
- Dermal Fillers: Non-surgical cheekbone augmentation can be performed using dermal fillers. Injectable fillers, such as hyaluronic acid-based fillers, are injected into specific areas of the cheeks to add volume and create a lifted contour. The results are temporary, typically lasting several months to a year.
- Fat Grafting: Another non-surgical option involves the use of fat grafting. In this procedure, fat is harvested from one part of the body, processed, and then injected into the cheeks to add volume and enhance the contours. Fat grafting provides longer-lasting results compared to dermal fillers.
- Cheek Implants: Surgical cheekbone augmentation can be achieved through the placement of cheek implants. Cheek implants are solid materials that are surgically inserted onto the cheekbones to create a more defined and prominent appearance. This is a permanent solution that requires a surgical procedure.
- Bone Surgery: In some cases, individuals may opt for more extensive surgical procedures involving bone surgery to augment the cheekbones. This may include procedures such as orthognathic surgery, where the underlying bone structure is modified to achieve the desired aesthetic result.
- Thread Lift: A thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure where dissolvable threads are inserted under the skin to lift and tighten sagging tissues, including the cheeks. While this procedure is not specifically for cheekbone augmentation, it can contribute to an overall lifted appearance.
