How to get more prominent cheeks

Cheek augmentation with implants is designed to improve the shape and size of the cheeks for better contour and overall facial shape.

The Edelstein Cosmetic difference

Dr. Fialkov custom shapes your cheek implants to achieve the enhancement you want.

The implants are constructed from porous polypropylene, an advanced material that allows them to “take” to your facial structure better than other materials, such as silicone. Silicone implants can cause the bone underneath it to erode and can also lead to chronic inflammation. For these reasons, Dr. Fialkov does not use silicone implants.

A directional implant selection process is performed to ensure that the enhancement you want is accurate and remains in the right position.

Cheek implants achieve long-term results that are satisfying. According to the report, Aesthetic Facial Implants, as published in the medical journal, Facial Plastic And Reconstructive Surgery, facial contouring offers “major rewards”.

The effect of aging on your face

Cheek implants can replace the loss of volume that occurs with age for a dramatic rejuvenation of the overall face.In youth, the shape of our face resembles an inverted triangle, in which full cheeks and a rounded chin are the structural foundations of this contour. For females even in adulthood, this shape is generally deemed as attractive. However, the triangular or heart-like shape face undergoes a number of changes with age. The loss of volume in the cheeks reduces the desirable roundness and fullness present in youth, traits that have also been associated with femininity. Coupled with sagging skin along the jawline, a more rectangular shape results. Women find that their face becomes less feminine and thus less attractive in their advancing years.

For men, the aesthetic concern is different. While aging follows the same pattern, a more masculine contour is preferred, characterized by chiseled and angular cheeks that are smaller in size with higher elevation. Rounded, softer cheeks can feminize your face, therefore cheek implants may be used to replace the loss of elevation and maintain a more masculine facial contour with which you’ll be more content.

Younger patients may choose to receive cheek implants to modify the original structure of their face, making it more attractive in concordance to the elements of facial harmony and beauty.

While performing your cheek augmentation, Dr. Fialkov focuses on achieving facial symmetry for a more pleasing result.
