What Are Cheek Implants?
Cheek implants are facial prostheses used to add volume and improve facial symmetry, providing a more defined appearance. They are placed through a minimally invasive surgery, with internal or external incisions, depending on the patient’s needs.
The most common materials are silicone, titanium, or PEEK, and they are designed to integrate naturally with the facial contour, thus enhancing aesthetic harmony.
Advantages of Custom Cheek Implants at Face Clinic:
- Custom-Made: Unlike other cheek implants, these are customized in 3D to perfectly fit your facial structure according to your needs and desired results.
- Permanent: Unlike aesthetic fillers that are absorbed over time, our implants provide a lasting solution.
- Reversible: The implants can be removed at any time in a quick, in-office procedure if you wish.
- No Displacement: These implants are fixed to the facial bone, so there is no risk of them moving.
- Safe: Made of titanium, a material known for its high biocompatibility.
- Simple Surgery: Performed by pioneering surgeons with extensive experience in this technique.
What Problems Do Cheek Implants Solve?
Individuals with low facial volume in the malar area are ideal candidates for this treatment.
- Facial Contour Enhancement: Cheek implants are used to provide greater definition and projection to the cheekbones, which can improve the facial contour and balance facial features.
- Correction of Asymmetries: If there is a lack of symmetry in the cheekbones, implants can be used to even out and harmonize the appearance of both sides of the face.
- Facial Rejuvenation: As we age, the cheekbones can lose volume and definition. Cheek implants can restore a youthful appearance by adding volume and improving the facial structure.
Ideal candidates for cheek implants are individuals who wish to improve the appearance and contour of their cheekbones.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is a cheek implant procedure done?
Cheek implant surgery is a procedure performed to increase the volume and improve the shape of the cheekbones. Depending on the patient’s characteristics at Face Clinic Spain, implants can be placed inside the mouth through an oral incision or under the eyelids. In both cases, local anesthesia or sedation is used. The implants, typically made of silicone, titanium, or PEEK, are precisely placed to achieve a natural result, providing a more harmonious facial contour. The procedure generally lasts between 1 and 2 hours and does not require a prolonged hospital stay.
Who are good candidates for cheek implants?
Good candidates are people with flat or poorly defined cheekbones, those who have lost volume in the mid-face due to aging, or those who wish to improve the symmetry and proportions of their face. It is important to be in good general health and have realistic expectations. A consultation at Face Clinic will determine if you are an ideal candidate.
What type of anesthesia is used for cheek augmentation?
Cheek implant surgery can be performed with local anesthesia plus intravenous sedation, or under general anesthesia, depending on the patient’s preference, the complexity of the case, and the surgeon’s recommendation. At Face Clinic, our goal is to ensure the patient’s comfort and safety throughout the procedure.
How long is the recovery from cheek implant surgery?
Initial recovery typically takes 1 to 2 weeks, with swelling and possible bruising. Rest and following the surgeon’s guidelines are advised. Most patients at Face Clinic can resume light activities during this period, although swelling may take a few more weeks to fully resolve.
Do cheek implants look or feel artificial?
When placed by an experienced maxillofacial surgeon at Face Clinic and the appropriate size and shape are chosen, cheek implants should provide a very natural result, both visually and to the touch, once the swelling has subsided. The materials used are biocompatible and integrate well with the tissues.
Can cheek implants be combined with other facial procedures?
Yes, at Face Clinic Spain, it is common to combine cheek implant placement with other facial rejuvenation or harmonization procedures, such as a facelift, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), rhinoplasty, or chin implants to achieve a more comprehensive and balanced result.
