Tailored Cheek Augmentation Solutions

What is cheek augmentation?

Cheek augmentation is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance cheek volume and contour. Over time, the loss of natural fat pads in the cheeks can lead to a sunken appearance, making the face look aged or tired.

The cheek augmentation procedure restores fullness and symmetry, improving the overall balance of your facial structures. At SKY, we offer multiple options, including cheek implants for a permanent solution, cheek fillers for immediate results, and fat grafting to provide a natural, lasting enhancement.

Restore Volume and Confidence

What is the cheek augmentation procedure like?

The process depends on your chosen method:

  • Cheek Implants: Small, customized implants are placed through inconspicuous incisions, often inside the mouth, to permanently enhance cheek volume.
  • Fat Grafting: Also called fat transfer, this technique uses your body’s own fat to achieve natural results. Fat is carefully harvested, purified, and injected into the cheeks.
  • Cheek Fillers: Non-surgical and minimally invasive dermal fillers are injected to create immediate volume and contour.

Each approach is tailored to your unique goals, ensuring a natural appearance that complements your facial features.

Rediscover Youthful Contours

What conditions does cheek augmentation address?

  • Loss of volume in the cheeks due to aging or genetics
  • A sunken appearance that diminishes a youthful appearance
  • Imbalances in facial structures
  • Desire for enhanced contour and symmetry

Cheek augmentation focuses on the midface, restoring volume and improving contour to create a balanced, more youthful appearance.
