Operation to correct
a deformity of
the cheek to achieve
a natural aesthetically
pleasing appearance.
Why have Cheek
surgery?
Correct flat
appearance that
a patient feels
detracts from
their features.
Improve the balance
of the face with
the forehead,
nose and chin.
Improve self-confidence
especially in
patients whose
cheek is flat
in relation to
the other facial
features.
The normal cheek
has a prominence
just below the
level of the lower
eyelids and gives
a oval curve to
the face –
Ogee curve. Lack
of fullness or
flattening can
give the face
a long thin appearance.
The flat cheek
may arise as a
congenital or
familial feature
or result from
trauma to the
cheek or be the
result of aging.
The aesthetics
of the face requires
that each part
is in harmony
with the others.
Thus a flat cheek
may detract from
the aesthetics
of the eyes, nose
or mouth. This
imbalance can
have a major impact
on the psychological
well being of
the patient resulting
in low self-esteem.
Surgery either
to enhance (augment)
the cheek aims
to restore the
balance and provide
a natural aesthetic
appearance.
Remember surgery
will not change
you or solve any
life crises, but
should boost your
self-confidence
and enjoyment
of life.
In order to achieve
the optimum result
following surgery
to the cheek,
a clear understanding
of the patient’s
concerns and careful
examination of
the facial features
is vital.
Cheek Augmentation
(enlargement)
can be combined
with other operations
such as
Rhinoplasty
Facelift
Liposuction to
the neck
Chin Reduction
or Augmentation.
Other procedures
or treatments
that may be beneficial
to provide the
best aesthetic
outcome include
Isolagen
Fat injections
Perlane/Restylane
or Outline
The type of operation
required to achieve
the best result
for you will depend
on the deformity(s)
and your goals
and will be discussed
at the time of
your Consultation.
