A cheek implant is a prosthetic device made of biocompatible materials, typically silicone or porous polyethylene, designed to enhance the projection and shape of the cheekbones. The different types of cheek implants include malar implants (for the cheekbones), submalar implants (for the mid-face area), and combined implants (for both regions). The choice depends on your facial structure and aesthetic goals. Dr Krishna S Chaudhari, a board-certified cosmetic surgeon with 38 years of experience, specialises in cheek implant surgery in Pune at the Cosmetic Laser Surgery Center. His expertise in facial plastic surgery, including cheekbone surgery, ensures that patients receive customised solutions tailored to their unique needs.
Cheek implant surgery typically takes one to two hours and is performed under general anaesthesia. We ensure precision and safety throughout the procedure. Incisions are usually made inside the mouth or along the lower eyelid to minimise visible scarring. The implants are then carefully positioned and secured. The Cosmetic Laser Surgery Center, located at Prasad Chambers, Karve Road, Pune, is conducted in a well-equipped day-care surgical facility with the latest technology, ensuring optimal outcomes for cheek implants before and after surgery.
Post-surgery, swelling and bruising are common but subside within two to three weeks. Patients should follow a soft diet and maintain oral hygiene to prevent infection. Dr. Chaudhari’s patient-centric approach at the Cosmetic Laser Surgery Center prioritises safety and comfort, with detailed aftercare instructions provided to ensure a smooth recovery. Most patients see the final results of their cheek implants before and after within three to six months, revealing a more defined and balanced facial structure.
