Are you seeking more pronounced cheekbones or restoration of midface volume? At Park Smiles NYC, our oral and maxillofacial surgeon Dr. Aryeh Mahana provides advanced cheek implant procedures that create balanced, aesthetically pleasing facial contours. Experience customized facial enhancement with exceptional results at our sophisticated Manhattan practice.
Cheek implants can dramatically improve facial balance and aesthetics for patients with specific concerns related to midface structure and volume. This specialized procedure addresses several common issues that affect overall facial appearance.
Naturally flat or underdeveloped cheekbones that create a less defined facial structure can be effectively enhanced through carefully selected implants. This structural improvement creates better facial definition and more refined contours, often providing significant enhancement of overall facial aesthetics.
Age-related volume loss in the midface region that creates a hollow or gaunt appearance can be restored with cheek implants, recreating youthful contours and providing structural support to surrounding tissues. This volumization helps lift adjacent areas, potentially improving the appearance of nasolabial folds and early jowling.
Facial asymmetry involving the cheeks or midface can be addressed through precisely planned implant placement that restores balance between the left and right sides. Our Manhattan specialist evaluates the specific nature of asymmetry to determine the optimal implant sizes and positioning for harmonious correction.
Insufficient projection that creates a flat facial appearance in profile view responds well to malar (cheekbone) implants that enhance facial depth and dimension. This three-dimensional enhancement creates more dynamic facial contours with improved light and shadow effects that contribute to a more sculpted appearance.
At Park Smiles NYC, our comprehensive facial assessment determines whether cheek implants represent the most appropriate solution for your specific concerns, with recommendations tailored to your unique facial structure and aesthetic goals.
Enhance your facial contours with expert cheek implant surgery. Our Manhattan specialist provides personalized procedures for defined, natural results.
Cheek implants offer remarkable aesthetic benefits that enhance overall facial appearance and balance. The most immediate improvement is enhanced facial structure, with better definition that creates more pleasing contours across the midface region. This improved definition often contributes to a more sculpted, youthful appearance with better light reflection and shadow patterns that highlight your natural beauty.
For many patients, cheek enhancement creates better overall facial harmony by balancing proportions between different features. The additional structure in the midface region can have a positive effect on the appearance of surrounding areas, potentially making the nose appear more proportional or the jawline more defined without additional procedures. This structural improvement often creates a more youthful appearance, as properly positioned cheek implants provide support to soft tissues that typically descend with age.
Beyond these physical improvements, many of our Manhattan patients report significant psychological benefits following successful cheek augmentation. The enhanced facial contours often translate to greater confidence in photos from all angles and increased satisfaction with overall appearance. Unlike temporary treatments like injectable fillers, cheek implants provide permanent enhancement that maintains its appearance for decades, making them a long-term investment in facial aesthetics.
At Park Smiles NYC, your cheek implant procedure is performed by Dr. Aryeh Mahana, our oral and maxillofacial surgeon with specialized training in facial aesthetics and reconstructive surgery. Dr. Mahana brings extensive experience in facial implant procedures, combining technical surgical expertise with an artist’s eye for proportion and balance in facial enhancement.
What distinguishes our Manhattan approach to cheek implants is our commitment to creating natural-looking results that enhance rather than obviously alter your appearance. Dr. Mahana’s surgical philosophy emphasizes creating improvements that appear as though you were born with them—refined, balanced enhancements that complement your natural features while respecting your unique facial characteristics.
Our comprehensive approach begins with detailed consultation to understand your specific concerns regarding your midface contours and overall facial balance. Using advanced facial analysis and imaging, Dr. Mahana evaluates your current proportions and discusses realistic expectations for improvement. This thorough planning process ensures that your cheek implants create precisely the enhancement you desire, with results that appear completely natural while making a significant difference in your facial appearance.
Our Manhattan practice offers the advantage of cheek enhancement performed by a specialist with specific training in maxillofacial and facial aesthetic surgery rather than a general plastic surgeon. Dr. Mahana’s focused expertise in facial procedures ensures comprehensive understanding of the structural and aesthetic aspects of midface anatomy. This specialized knowledge translates to more precise implant selection and placement, with particular attention to creating natural contours and transitions. For patients seeking cheek augmentation, this specialized approach provides superior results with natural appearance and optimal integration with existing facial features.
Successful cheek enhancement requires thorough evaluation of overall facial balance rather than focusing solely on the midface area. Our Manhattan team conducts detailed facial analysis including skeletal proportions, soft tissue characteristics, and three-dimensional relationships between facial features. This comprehensive approach ensures that your cheek enhancement complements other facial features including the eyes, nose, and lower face. By considering these relationships, we develop treatment plans that create harmonious improvement rather than isolated enhancement that might appear unbalanced with the rest of your facial structure.
Our surgical philosophy prioritizes creating results that enhance rather than obviously alter your appearance. Dr. Mahana’s artistic approach to cheek implants focuses on balanced augmentation that appears as though you were naturally born with better midface definition. This commitment to subtlety and proportion ensures that your results don’t have the operated or “overdone” appearance that can occur with excessive enhancement or improper positioning. For our Manhattan patients, this means enjoying improved facial contours that friends and colleagues may notice as an overall improvement in appearance without being able to identify exactly what has changed.
Prior to surgery, you and Dr. Cohen will discuss what shape you’re trying to achieve. Dr. Cohen will then work with you to determine the best cheek implant shape and size to fit naturally with your facial structure.
Cheek augmentations are performed under general anesthetic or twilight sleep. An incision is made along the upper jaw inside the cheek. Inserting the cheek implants through the mouth results in no visible scarring.
During your surgery, Dr. Cohen may shape the implant so that it fits solidly against your existing bone. The implant is then inserted through the mouth, and adjusted to the correct position. The surrounding tissue is stitched closed to hold the cheek implant in place. The procedure itself takes approximately an hour and a half.
Most of our cheek augmentation patients report very little bruising or swelling and you should be feeling back to normal within a week. It may take up to six weeks until you’re your mouth is completely healed and final results are visible.
Cheek implants are designed to provide permanent enhancement of facial contours, with modern implant materials remaining stable for decades. Unlike temporary options like injectable fillers that typically last 6-24 months, quality facial implants maintain their shape and position indefinitely in most patients. The implants become integrated with surrounding tissues over time, creating stable, long-lasting results. While the implants themselves are permanent, it’s important to understand that natural aging will continue, potentially affecting surrounding tissues over many years. During your consultation at our Manhattan office, Dr. Mahana discusses long-term considerations and what to expect from your cheek enhancement throughout your lifetime.
Cheek implant procedures are typically performed through incisions carefully placed to minimize visible scarring. The most common approach utilizes incisions inside the mouth, between the upper gums and cheek, leaving no visible external scars. For some cases, particularly when combined with other procedures, incisions may be placed within the lower eyelid or in natural creases, where resulting scars are typically very inconspicuous once healed. During your consultation at our Manhattan practice, Dr. Mahana discusses the specific incision approach recommended for your procedure, considering factors like implant size, placement needs, and your individual anatomy to determine the optimal technique.
Recovery following cheek implant surgery occurs in stages, with most patients returning to work and social activities within 7-10 days. Initial recovery involves managing swelling and discomfort, which typically peaks around 48-72 hours post-surgery and gradually improves thereafter. Visible swelling generally subsides significantly within two weeks, though subtle residual swelling may continue to diminish for 4-6 weeks. Most patients feel comfortable in public settings with minimal makeup after 10-14 days. During your consultation at our Manhattan office, Dr. Mahana provides a detailed recovery timeline based on your specific procedure plan and individual healing factors.
