Cheek Implants

Resorption of cheekbones can exaggerate the appearance of a sunken mid-face and malar implants may be inserted alone or in conjunction with a mid-face lift. The implant, typically silicone, can be placed through the mouth, the lower eyelid, or through the facelift approach and typically takes less than an hour and does not add significant downtime.
