Malar Augmentation Surgery at Light Plastic Surgery Clinic
Are you looking to enhance your facial balance and definition with higher, more prominent cheekbones? Flat or underdeveloped cheekbones can affect the harmony of the face, making the midface appear less youthful or defined. Malar augmentation surgery, also known as cheekbone enhancement, is a cosmetic procedure designed to improve the projection and contour of the cheeks for a fuller, more attractive facial profile.
At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic, our skilled surgeons specialize in creating natural-looking, symmetrical results tailored to each individual’s unique facial structure and aesthetic goals.
Why Choose Malar Augmentation Surgery?
Patients choose malar augmentation for a variety of aesthetic reasons, including:
- Enhancing underdeveloped or flat cheekbones
- Creating a more defined, youthful facial contour
- Balancing overall facial proportions
- Reducing the appearance of sagging or hollow cheeks
- Achieving a sculpted and elegant midface appearance
Our approach is focused on delivering subtle, natural enhancements that complement your existing facial features.
Customized Approach to Your Malar Augmentation
At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic, we believe no two faces are alike. Every malar augmentation procedure is planned with precision to achieve the best possible outcome for your facial anatomy and desired results.
Options for Malar Augmentation:
- Cheek Implants: Made from biocompatible materials such as silicone or Medpor, implants are placed over the cheekbones to enhance volume and projection.
- Fat Grafting (Autologous Fat Transfer): Uses your own purified fat to add subtle volume to the cheeks for a softer, more natural contour.
- Filler Injections (Non-surgical alternative): For those seeking temporary enhancement without surgery.
During your consultation, we will recommend the most suitable technique based on your goals, facial structure, and personal preferences.
Consultation and Planning
Your experience at Light Plastic Surgery Clinic begins with a detailed consultation to ensure your goals and expectations are clearly understood and achievable.
During your consultation, we will:
- Evaluate your facial proportions and midface structure
- Discuss your aesthetic goals and surgical options
- Review before-and-after photos of previous patients
- Explain the benefits and risks of each procedure
- Answer any questions to ensure you feel fully informed and confident
We pride ourselves on providing honest advice and realistic expectations to help you make the best decision for your face.
The Procedure: What to Expect
Malar augmentation surgery is typically performed under general or local anesthesia with sedation, depending on the chosen technique.
Surgical Steps:
- Incision Placement: For cheek implants, small incisions are usually made inside the mouth or along the lower eyelid to avoid visible scarring.
- Implant Insertion or Fat Transfer: The chosen implant or fat is placed to enhance the projection and shape of the cheekbones.
- Closure: Incisions are carefully closed with sutures, and a light dressing may be applied.
The procedure generally takes about 1 to 2 hours, and patients can usually return home the same day.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery after malar augmentation varies based on the technique used. Mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort are common and typically subside within 1 to 2 weeks.
Post-operative care includes:
- Keeping the head elevated to minimize swelling
- Avoiding strenuous activities for 2 to 3 weeks
- Following specific instructions for oral hygiene (for intraoral incisions)
- Attending follow-up visits for monitoring and guidance
- Taking prescribed medications as directed to ensure comfort and prevent infection
Our team will be with you throughout the recovery process to ensure a smooth and safe healing experience.
Natural and Lasting Results
Malar augmentation can dramatically improve facial balance and contour, providing a youthful, elegant appearance. Our surgeons are committed to achieving results that enhance your natural beauty without appearing overdone.
