The different procedures of cheek augmentation are outlined below:
1-Soft-touch treatment: We use injectable soluble gel volumisers, both temporary and permanent. These are injected with a fine needle in the comfort of our office. It is available with and without local anaesthetics.
While this procedure provides an immediate result, it only lasts for 3-6 months. After this you will need another injection. However, over time the effect may begin to last longer, occasionally enduring up to 8 months.
Recently, longer-lasting, skin-wrinkle fillers have come on the market, which may give you a similar result that lasts for up to 3 years. This treatment is provided at the same day of consultation in the office and may require local anaesthetics.
2-Surgical procedure: If you want a permanent solution then it’s best to go for the surgical option.
This is done in a hospital under either a local or general anaesthetic and takes around 60 minutes.
This procedure uses your own fatty tissue or an implant to provide a long-lasting refinement of the mid-face area.
If we use an implant there will be a small 3-4 cm scar inside your mouth. This will heal, and the stitches will dissolve on their own.
For help deciding which treatment is best for you, book your consultation now and discuss your options with your surgeon.
