Question: I have severe acne on my face, and especially my cheeks. I really want to have cheek implants, but I am worried that this procedure will be a hindrance to improving my skin condition. Is this something I should be worried about?
Answer: Most implants are put in from under the upper lip and against the cheek bone itself; so should have no effect on your acne problems.
Question: A few days after my cheek implant, I was hit in the face with a softball. How will this affect the healing process?
Answer: I cannot say, but if the implant feels in place there is nothing to do but ice the area and wait for the swelling to go down and then reassess.

Question:
How many days will I have to take off work after my cheek implants?
Answer:
Cheek implants are placed from under the upper lip so there is no visible post-operative incision. Swelling is noticeable for 5-7 days. You can probably go to work in three to five days.

Question:
I'd like to get cheek implants. How will the doctor decide which cheek shape is best for me?
Answer:
I only use certain very reliable cheek implants both from an aesthetic concern and from a safety concern, (Implantech conform). These can be ordered in any size needed and trimmed appropriately for each individual patient.
I had been having chin augmentation with Radiesse. I absolutely love the shape but I am looking for something more permanent. Is it possible for surgeons to copy the shape of the Radiesse injection with an implant?
Answer:
There are lots of different implant shapes and sizes. An experienced surgeon should be able to reproduce the look you want with a permanent implant under local anesthesia in 30 minutes.
Where are the incisions made for cheek implants? Are there any noticeable signs of the surgery immediately after it is performed (swelling, scars, etc)?
Answer:
The best cheek implant incisions, and the ones I use, are under the upper lip inside the mouth. There are no visible scars and the results are excellent. You will have some moderate cheek swelling for 7-10 days after surgery.
I'm considering cheek augmentation surgery. Can you tell me if there are different varieties of implants to choose from? Is there a particular product that you prefer?
Answer:
Yes there are many different implants and it is important to choose a surgeon with extensive experience in this procedure. Results are directly related to the exact site of placement and type or style of implant used. I use a Conform Implantech cheek implant and cut it to specifically fit my patients’ needs.
I am quite interested in cheek implant surgery. I have wanted more pronounced cheekbones for several years but for me that was only a pipe dream. Now I have noticed some sagging in my cheeks, perhaps even the formation of jowls. Will cheek implants help these issues?
Answer:
Yes implants will definitely make a noticeable and positive improvement.
