What is Cheek Augmentation?
At Beyond Beautiful in Plano, TX, board-certified facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Vu Ho performs a variety of cosmetic and surgical procedures using facial implants. One of these types of surgery is for the cheeks. Cheek augmentation, commonly referred to as “cheek implants,” helps to enhance the face, restore youthfulness, and restore sunken cheeks, which is longer lasting than fillers. Placement of cheek implants is typically an outpatient procedure, performed under general anesthesia, and is ideal for someone who wants to add fullness. A variety of facial implants are available in an array of sizes, shapes, and materials, which will be discussed during a consultation with Dr. Ho to provide the best-possible look.
How Is Cheek Augmentation Performed?
Since this is an outpatient surgery, patients will be under general anesthesia at an accredited surgical facility. An incision will be carefully made in the mouth, which will be placed between the cheek and upper gums. A specially made pocket will be created over the cheekbone after the soft cheek tissue has been properly elevated. Then, the plastic surgeon will insert the medical-grade plastic implant, which will be done for both cheeks. Afterwards, the incisions will be stitched up. The entire surgery takes around 1 hour to complete.

I am thrilled to share my exceptional experience with Dr. Brownlee's office! From the initial consultation to the post-operative care, Dr. Brownlee and her staff have demonstrated an unparalleled level of attention to detail and dedication to their patients. What sets Dr. Brownlee apart is her personal touch - she takes the time to meet with you individually for each visit, ensuring that you are informed and comfortable every step of the way.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of cheek implant is right for me?
When selecting the correct type of implant for your cheeks, Dr. Ho will take into account your unique facial features and aesthetic goals. Using his expertise and years of experience, he can suggest a variety of implants that will help you achieve the best outcome, whether you want to accentuate your cheeks or restore age-related volume loss. During your consultation, Dr. Ho will go over the different options available and the effect they can achieve
What if my face is asymmetrical?
Cheek augmentation can be very effective in addressing facial asymmetry. Contrary to what most people believe, facial asymmetry (one side is slightly different than the other) is actually quite common. Dr. Ho can address asymmetry by a number of methods, such as placing a cheek implant to "raise" one cheek to match the other. If asymmetry is a concern, please feel free to bring it up with Dr. Ho during your consultation.
Can I have fat grafting performed to fill in my cheeks?
Yes, absolutely. Dr. Ho offers cutting-edge fat transfer procedures that can be used to either accentuate the cheeks or replenish areas of volume loss. Using your body's own fat can rejuvenate and enhance your look while offering a more natural alternative to synthetic implants.
What Results Can I Expect from Cheek Augmentation?
After cheek implants, a patient should expect some level of swelling and numbness in the treatment area. Though rare, some patients may experience bruising. Normal activities, such as going to work, can usually be resumed within a week. Strenuous exercise should be avoided for the first few weeks after surgery. As the swelling resolves over time, a patient can expect to see the full benefits of the surgery over the following few months. Cheek implants have a strong safety record since they are made with the highest quality materials. While cheek implants provide long-term benefits, a patient’s face will change due to the aging process, which could impact the look of the implants over time.
What is the PRO-NOX System?
Dr. Ho and our entire staff are completely dedicated to prioritizing your comfort and satisfaction during this cosmetic procedure. We now offer the PRO-NOX system to ensure your comfort if you cannot use or choose not to use traditional anesthetics.
With the PRO-NOX™ Nitrous Oxide Delivery System, you can control anxiety or pain during any medical procedure. Much like what you might receive from your dentist for pain, this vapor blend allows you, the patient, to choose the strength of the nitrous oxide and oxygen flow. Never worry again about sedation of local anesthesia.
