Is Surgery Necessary for Cheek Implants?
Yes, cheek implants require a surgical procedure to be placed over the cheekbones. The surgery involves making small incisions either inside the mouth or just below the eyelids, through which the implants are inserted and positioned. The implants are then secured to ensure proper alignment and symmetry. Since this is a surgical procedure, it does require some downtime and recovery, typically lasting a few weeks. The surgery is performed under anesthesia, and most patients can return to normal activities within a week, although full recovery may take longer.
While the idea of surgery may seem daunting, cheek implant surgery is generally considered safe, and complications are rare when performed by an experienced plastic surgeon. Unlike non-invasive treatments like dermal fillers, which offer temporary results, surgery is necessary to achieve the permanent, long-lasting effects of cheek implants. It is important to have a thorough consultation with your surgeon to discuss the risks, benefits, and expectations of the procedure before deciding if surgery is the right option for you.
