Cheek Implants in Seattle, WA

Cheek implant surgery, also known as malar augmentation, is designed to restore youthful definition and balance to the midface by enhancing the contours of the cheeks.

Over time, volume loss and gravity can cause the cheeks to appear flat or hollow. By placing small, precisely shaped implants, this procedure re-establishes the natural curves of the face, creating a more harmonious and rejuvenated appearance.

Benefits of Cheek Implants

Cheek implant surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. The implants are carefully inserted through small incisions, usually hidden inside the mouth or along the lower eyelid, depending on your anatomy and aesthetic goals.

Each implant is positioned over the cheekbone to achieve natural-looking symmetry and contour. The procedure generally takes about one hour, and patients can return home the same day.

Recovery and Aftercare

Mild swelling and bruising are common for the first week. Most patients return to normal daily activities within 7–10 days, though complete healing and settling of the implants may take several weeks.

Discomfort is typically minimal and can be managed with prescribed medication. Following post-operative care instructions — such as maintaining good oral hygiene, sleeping with the head elevated, and avoiding strenuous activity — ensures smooth healing and optimal results.

Results

Results are visible immediately, with final definition appearing as swelling subsides. Cheek implants provide a permanent enhancement that restores youthful fullness, lifts sagging tissue, and enhances overall facial balance.

Combining Procedures

Many patients choose to combine cheek implants with procedures such as a facelift, lip lift, or chin implant for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. During your consultation, your surgeon will help you determine which combination best suits your goals and facial anatomy.
