Cheek Implant Specialist Serving San Gabriel Valley, West Covina, CA

At Shine Cosmetic Surgery, we specialize in enhancing your natural beauty and boosting your confidence through a range of advanced cosmetic procedures, including cheek implants. Cheek implants, also known as malar implants, can transform your facial structure by providing a more defined and balanced appearance. These implants are crafted from biocompatible materials like silicone or porous polyethylene, ensuring they are well-tolerated by your body for long-lasting results.

Our skilled plastic surgeon at Shine Cosmetic Surgery is dedicated to delivering personalized care and exceptional results. The cheek implant procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia, with careful consideration given to incision placement. Incisions are made either inside the mouth or just below the lower eyelid, allowing for precise positioning of the implants over your cheekbones, while minimizing visible scarring. Our surgeon meticulously secures the implants to achieve the desired contour and symmetry.

Recovery at Shine Cosmetic Surgery is supported by our comprehensive post-operative care plan, designed to facilitate a smooth healing process. While swelling and bruising are common initially, they generally subside within a few weeks. Our team will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions, including guidance on diet, oral hygiene, and activity restrictions, to ensure optimal healing and results.

Cheek implants at Shine Cosmetic Surgery are crafted from durable materials such as silicone or polytetrafluoroethylene (Gore-Tex), known for their longevity and reliability. These materials are chosen for their ability to maintain shape and position indefinitely under normal conditions, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of your enhanced facial contours for years to come.

We recognize that each patient’s journey is unique, and individual preferences or changes in aesthetic goals may arise over time. Our experienced team is here to support you, whether you wish to adjust, remove, or simply discuss your cheek implants. We also take into account the natural aging process of facial tissues, which might influence the overall appearance and potentially necessitate further cosmetic enhancements down the line.

At Shine Cosmetic Surgery, we emphasize the importance of ongoing communication and regular follow-up appointments. This ensures that your implants continue to align with your expectations and allows us to promptly address any concerns or complications.

With our commitment to excellence and personalized care, cheek implants at Shine Cosmetic Surgery are designed to be a lasting enhancement, with the flexibility to adapt to your evolving aesthetic desires.

We prioritize patient health and safety, ensuring that candidates for cheek implants are in good physical and mental health to promote a smoother recovery and optimal results. At Shine Cosmetic Surgery, we emphasize the importance of having realistic expectations and a thorough understanding of the potential risks and benefits associated with the procedure. We also encourage nonsmokers to consider this option, as smoking can impede the healing process and increase the likelihood of complications.

Our experienced and qualified plastic surgeon is dedicated to providing personalized consultations, assessing each individual’s unique facial anatomy and discussing potential alternatives. We aim to determine the most suitable approach to achieve your aesthetic goals, ensuring that candidates have stable facial growth, typically meaning they are adults with fully developed facial bone structures for lasting results.

We recommend that patients plan to take at least a week off from work or their regular activities to ensure adequate rest and healing. By the end of the first week, many patients feel comfortable resuming light activities, although it is important to avoid vigorous exercise and heavy lifting for several weeks to prevent any complications.

Most of the swelling usually resolves within three to four weeks, allowing patients to feel more at ease with their appearance. However, it’s normal for subtle swelling to persist for several months, gradually diminishing over time. Full recovery, where all swelling has subsided and the final results are visible, typically takes three to six months. At Shine Cosmetic Surgery, we emphasize the importance of attending follow-up appointments to monitor your healing process and to address any concerns promptly.

Adhering to your surgeon’s postoperative care instructions, including recommendations for diet, oral hygiene, and activity restrictions, is crucial for optimal healing and achieving the desired outcome. At Shine Cosmetic Surgery, our team is dedicated to supporting you throughout your recovery journey, ensuring you achieve the best possible results from your cheek implant procedure.
