WHAT IS CHEEK AUGMENTATION USING SILICONE IMPLANTS (DAY CASE)?

Cheek augmentation using silicone implants is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to enhance the volume, contour, and definition of the cheeks. The procedure helps restore youthful mid-face fullness, improves facial balance, and accentuates natural facial features. Silicone implants are carefully shaped and positioned to create natural-looking results without adding excessive volume. Performed as a day case, patients can usually return home the same day after observation. At London Harley Street Clinics, our surgeons use precise techniques to achieve long-lasting and harmonious cheek enhancement results.

Treatment Process

Cheek augmentation using silicone implants is performed under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia and usually takes 45–90 minutes. It includes:

Facial structure, cheekbone projection, and desired aesthetic outcome are assessed to plan implant size, shape, and placement.

Local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia ensures a comfortable and safe procedure.

Small incisions are made inside the mouth or along natural facial creases. Silicone implants are inserted and secured over the cheekbone to create natural-looking volume and contour.

Incisions are sutured, and dressings applied as needed. Most patients are monitored for a few hours before returning home the same day.

The Smooth Eye Laser treatment was fantastic! It completely rejuvenated my under-eye area, making me look well-rested and youthful. The procedure was quick, painless, and the results are simply amazing. Highly recommend it for anyone dealing with fine lines or sagging skin around the eyes.
