Cheek implants add projection to flat or underprojected cheekbones, enhancing facial structure and creating the defined, lifted midface that is often associated with youth and attractiveness.
Malar (cheek) implants are small silicone implants placed over the cheekbones to enhance their projection and definition. They create a more sculpted, structured midface.
Incisions are typically made inside the mouth — leaving no external visible scar. The implant is positioned precisely over the malar bone and secured in place.
Cheek implants can be combined with rhinoplasty, chin implant, or facial fillers for comprehensive facial harmonization.
