Have your cheeks lost volume or started sagging with age? Perhaps you have always wanted more volume in your face. If that is you, you may benefit from a cheek augmentation procedure.
One of our expert facial plastic surgeons at FORM Face + Body could help you find confidence in your contours with cheek augmentation in Toronto. We are here to support you through every step of your aesthetic journey.
Our Toronto plastic surgery team will work with you to determine if a cheek implant procedure is the best option for you. In general, ideal candidates for a cheek augmentation:
Plastic surgery is a highly personal decision, and you should undergo a procedure such as a cheek augmentation because you want to, rather than because you have been influenced by external or societal pressures of an ideal look. It is also important to have realistic expectations of what the procedure can achieve and specific goals for your results.
Our knowledgeable cosmetic team at FORM Face + Body will explain what you can expect with cheek augmentation surgery in Toronto. Prior to the procedure, our highly qualified plastic surgeon—Dr. Brandt—will make time to answer any questions you may have.
The first step of the surgery is receiving sedation or anesthesia to ensure that you remain comfortable. You and your surgeon will work together to determine if general anesthesia, local anesthesia, or intravenous sedation will be the best option for you.
Next, your surgeon will make incisions along the treatment area. Specifics will depend on the type of implant used: fat transfer involves a small incision where the fat is harvested and another near your cheeks, while solid cheek implants may also be used through your mouth or under your eyelid.
Once the implant has been inserted, your surgeon will close the incisions with sutures, tape, or skin adhesive.
After your cheek contouring surgery in Toronto, compression garments can minimize swelling and support your cheeks after the procedure. If your implants were inserted through your mouth, your surgeon will guide you through additional care steps for the recovery period.
Results from cheek augmentation surgery can initially be hidden with swelling. If fat transfer was used, the results will be based on the amount injected and how much your body retained. There is less variability when it comes to solid implants.
After your surgery, it is important to follow instructions from your care team to ensure optimal results during the healing process. You should avoid excessive force or motion as you are healing. Your team will give you detailed aftercare instructions and will be available at any time to answer questions so you can feel confident during your recovery.
Your face is an essential part of your appearance. Our focus is on naturally restoring contour and volume rather than creating an artificial look. If you feel self-conscious because of loss of volume or you have never been satisfied with the contours of your face, our team at FORM Face + Body could help you on your aesthetic journey.
