As people age, there is a tendency for the facial features to age faster than most of the rest of the body.  The cheeks begin to lose their youthful fullness.  The fat pad located at the cheek bone can sag, droop or flatten out, leading to hollowed or sunken cheeks.  This really adds to the visual age of a person.  If you are thinking about having a cosmetic procedure done to improve this problem, then you may want to consider cheek implant surgery.

Adding volume to the mid-face area through cheek implant surgery is one procedure that is tried and true.  However, if it is overdone it can look very unnatural and will be negatively noticeable.  It is important that for this cosmetic procedure as well as any others you choose a board certified plastic surgeon with a good track record.  Meeting with your surgeon is important in the selection process.  He will work with you to help you know whether you need cheek implant surgery or if injectable fillers might be able to meet your facial improvement needs.  He can work with you to choose the correct size and shape of silicone implants that will enhance your facial structure most appropriately.

Cheek implant surgery is a relatively simple procedure where the silicone implants are inserted through incisions in the mouth.  This is great because there is no visible incision that may leave a scar on the external portion of the face.  The effects make a huge difference in the youthful appearance of the patient and are a permanent answer to the facial aging problem
