How Does Chin Implant Surgery Work?
Cheek implants can add definition to your cheekbones and improve your bone structure to give a more sculpted appearance. They can be used to add fullness and height to cheeks.
The surgery adds to your existing bone structure through the placement of a silicone implant over the top of your cheekbones. Each implant is usually inserted through an incision made inside your mouth (where your cheek joins your upper gum) which ensures there will be no visible scarring. Sometimes the implant may be inserted through a cut in the lower eyelid.
The cheek implant procedure is usually carried out under general anaesthetic, meaning you will be asleep during the procedure. It can also be performed under local anaesthetic where the area will be numb but you will be awake.
The surgery takes under two hours and you will be able to leave our clinic the same day.
Recovery & Aftercare
You will be able to leave the clinic after your procedure. Any pain is minimal although you will be given painkillers like ibuprofen and paracetamol to lessen any discomfort in the first 24 hours following surgery. Dissolvable stitches are used.
You will have an aftercare appointment with your surgeon the following morning and every day thereafter in order to check your recovery and for you to ask any questions.
