Suitable candidates for a cheekbone implant
If you seek a more prominent cheekbone and injectables of lipofilling might not be sufficient, then you are probably a suitable candidate for a cheekbone implant.
Sometimes a more pronounced or accentuated cheekbone can only be achieved by inserting an implant, which will lift the cheekbone and give you the desired result.
If you seek a more prominent cheekbone and injectables of lipofilling might not be sufficient, then you are probably a suitable candidate for a cheekbone implant.
A cheekbone implant can be inserted under a local anaesthetic, but the patient often chooses intravenous sedation. The procedure lasts between one and two hours while you are sedated. A general anaesthetic is not necessary. The surgeon implants the cheekbone prosthesis (implant) through the inside of the eye or the inside of the mouth so that there is no trace of any scar on the outside of the face.
The final results are only visible a few weeks after treatment, when the swelling and bruising have disappeared. After cheekbone augmentation with implants there is no visible scar. The results of cheekbone augmentation with implants is permanent. The cheekbone prosthesis can also be easily removed if necessary.
During your consultation, you will meet the surgeon who will perform your surgery. The consultation will start with you expressing your desired result.

When general anaesthesia or intravenous sleep sedation is applied, the anaesthetist will start the wake up process and you will be transferred to the recovery area where you will be closely monitored.
