Cheek Implants
The alluring, high cheekbone is no longer an elusive feature reserved for the genetically fortunate. Through a procedure known as malarplasty, cheekbones can be enhanced, creating a
regal contour that accentuates the eyes.

Although malarplasty is particularly beneficial to actresses and models who desire prominent cheekbones to enhance facial projection in film or in photographs, it is also a very popular
procedure among older women. The reabsorption of bone tissue that occurs naturally with age tends to flatten the cheekbones and create facial imbalance.
When early facial sagging becomes noticeable, cheekbone implants can enhance the proportion of the face by adding fullness to the cheekbone area.
Procedure
Through a small incision inside the mouth, the surgeon carefully positions a medical grade implant over the patient's natural cheekbone to improve facial contour.
Post-Operative Care
Results are apparent immediately following a malarplasty. Patients experience varying degrees of bruising and swelling, which subside gradually in two to three weeks. Minimal discomfort can be expected following the procedure, although the cheeks
may feel stiff for a week or so.
When to Have the Procedure
Malarplasty is performed on women of all ages who desire higher or fuller cheekbones. Younger individuals may have the procedure performed if there is a family tendency toward flat cheekbones. Women between the ages of 40 and 50 may opt for cheekbone
implants to improve early signs of facial sagging before considering a facelift.
