Cheek Augmentation
Defined, lifted cheekbones through implants or fat
High, defined cheekbones are a marker of youth and facial harmony. Cheek augmentation builds projection and restores volume to a flat or sunken mid-face — using either anatomical implants or your own fat — for a naturally structured result that ages gracefully with you.
Cheek implants are placed through inconspicuous intra-oral or lower-eyelid incisions, resting on the cheekbone in precise anatomical pockets. Fat transfer augmentation uses your own processed fat, injected in micro-droplets for a soft, three-dimensional result. Both techniques are permanent and require only one procedure.
Key Benefits
- Enhanced cheekbone projection and mid-face definition
- Restoration of volume lost through ageing or weight loss
- Natural, long-lasting result with a single procedure
- Improved overall facial balance and symmetry
Is This Treatment Right For You?
- Patients with flat or under-projected cheekbones
- Individuals who have lost mid-face volume through ageing or weight loss
- Those seeking facial definition without repeated filler treatments
- Patients combining cheek augmentation with facelift or rhinoplasty

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the incisions visible?
Intra-oral incisions leave no external scars; lower-eyelid incisions heal to a barely visible fine line.
Will cheek implants shift over time?
Implants placed correctly in anatomical pockets integrate with surrounding tissue and do not migrate.
