Quick Facts About Cheek Augmentation / Reduction

Procedure Length

Typically 1-2 hours, depending on the complexity of the procedure.

Hospital Stay

Most patients can return home the same day, but an overnight stay may be required for some.

Visible Results

Some initial changes can be seen immediately, with the final results usually appearing within 3-6 months as swelling subsides.

Complete Recovery

Recovery generally takes 4-6 weeks, though this may vary depending on individual healing processes.

Cheek Augmentation / Reduction in Detail

Cheek augmentation or reduction is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance or reduce the prominence of your cheeks to achieve a more harmonious facial profile. Whether you desire higher, fuller cheeks or a more sculpted, refined look, this surgery can tailor your facial contours to your aesthetic goals.

How Does Cheek Augmentation / Reduction Work?

Cheek Augmentation:

Implants

Silicone or other biocompatible materials are placed in the cheek area to add volume and definition.

Fat Grafting

Fat is harvested from another part of your body and injected into the cheeks to create a fuller, more youthful appearance.

Cheek Reduction:

Bone Reshaping

The surgeon removes or reshapes excess bone or fat from the cheek area to achieve a more contoured look.

    Cheek Augmentation / Reduction Procedure Explained

    Cheek augmentation enhances facial contours by adding volume to the cheeks, creating a fuller, perfect appearance. This procedure can significantly improve facial symmetry and balance, boosting overall facial aesthetics.
    This will last around 90 minutes and include a short form filling exercise for your previous and current ocular and health conditions.
    Whilst the consultation is free most of our patients proceed to have a vested interest in proceeding with treatment and many report to have life changing outcomes.
    The cheek augmentation or reduction process begins with a thorough consultation to assess your suitability and discuss your aesthetic goals. The surgery is performed under general anaesthesia or sedation, with incisions made in discreet areas to minimise visible scarring. For augmentation, implants or fat are carefully placed to enhance cheek volume, while reduction involves reshaping or removing excess bone or fat. After the procedure, which typically lasts 1-2 hours, you’ll be monitored during recovery and given specific postoperative care instructions to support healing. Most patients are discharged the same day, with regular follow-up appointments to track progress.

    FAQs

    What are the main differences between cheek augmentation and cheek reduction procedures?
    Cheek augmentation enhances the cheekbones using implants or fillers to achieve a fuller, more defined look. Cheek reduction, on the other hand, involves removing or reshaping bone or tissue to create a slimmer, more contoured appearance.
    Results from cheek augmentation can last several years, especially with implants. Non-surgical options like dermal fillers typically last 6-18 months, depending on the type of filler used and individual factors.
    Potential risks include infection, bleeding, asymmetry, and changes in sensation. However, these risks are minimal with an experienced surgeon and proper post-operative care.
    Yes, these procedures are often combined with other cosmetic surgeries, such as rhinoplasty or facelift, to achieve a more comprehensive facial enhancement.
    Follow-up care includes attending scheduled appointments to monitor healing, managing any discomfort, and following specific instructions for post-operative care to ensure the best results and minimise complications.
