Cheek Implants
Under-projection of the cheekbones leading to flatness of the cheek areas immediately below the eyelids can give an unattractive appearance. Fullness of the upper gives a healthy youthful look. Adequate skeletal projection of the cheekbones gives better support for the soft tissues of the cheeks. This is important to facial aesthetics. Cheek implants can address these concerns by enhancing bony skeleton projection of the cheek.
Before & After

However, if the bony skeleton of the cheek under-projects, augmenting the cheekbones with cheek implants can give a dramatic improvement in facial balance and aesthetics. Recent evidence shows that with advancing age, the structure and shape of the facial bones also changes. This also can result in decreased projection of the cheek region.
