The natural aging process causes the skin in the face to droop down. In some cases, it can cause the cheeks to sink in. To address this area of concern, many individuals are opting for cheek implants. This procedure can help add fullness and definition to the cheek area and restore a more youthful appearance.
What Are Cheek Implants?
Cheek implants are made from medical silicone. During surgery, an incision is made inside the mouth near the upper gum line. The implants are then slid into place. In some cases, the incisions may be placed at the top of the cheek in the area just below the eye.
Signs That You May Be a Good Candidate for Cheek Implants
There are several signs that you may be a good candidate for cheek implants.
You Want To Reverse Some Signs of Aging
Many people consider getting cheek implants in order to address various areas of concern, including:
- Hollow areas below the eyes
- Sagging skin on the cheeks
- Hollowed out cheeks
- Sagging jowls
- Nasolabial folds that have deepened
Although these are normal parts of the aging process, everyone is affected by changes in their skin differently. It is important that you feel good about yourself, and cheek implants have the ability to address any of these areas of concern.
You Are in Good Health
If you are interested in getting cheek implants, it is important that you are in good overall health. Having pre-existing health conditions can cause complications in some cases. It is important that you have good hearing, skin that is not too thin, and no potential risk of developing severe complications during recovery.
You Have a Realistic Outlook
If you are interested in getting cheek implants, it is important to have a positive and realistic outlook. This procedure can help you achieve many cosmetic goals, such as improving symmetry in your face and bolstering your self-confidence. However, it may not be the most superior procedure to help you achieve facial balance. It is important to discuss your goals with your doctor ahead of time so you know what to expect.
