Cheek augmentation is a surgical procedure that adds volume to the cheek region. This procedure is suitable for patients who have flat or under projecting cheeks or those whose cheeks flatten or sag over time. The surgical options include the use of the patient's own fat or dermal fillers, which are temporary, or solid cheek implants, which provide a permanent solution. The implants can be placed through an incision just beneath the lower eyelid or inside the mouth, both of which heal with minimal scarring.
