Texas Cheek Implants — Dr. David M. Turner

Providing expert cheek augmentation to patients in Austin, Round Rock and San Marcos, TX

What are Cheek Implants?

Cheek implants — also known as cheek augmentation, submalar augmentation and malar augmentation — elevate your cheekbones to create symmetry and help make your other facial features appear more youthful. Dr. David M. Turner offers this surgery as one of the many facial procedures available at his Austin, TX, location. With cheek implants, he and his staff have enhanced the looks — and the lives — of men and women throughout the Austin region, including residents of Round Rock and San Marcos.

How are Cheek Implants Performed?

At our Austin location, cheek implants take about 30 to 45 minutes to perform. Usually, an incision is made inside your upper lip or in your lower eyelid, forming a pocket where the implant is inserted. Cheek augmentation can be done at the same time as another operation — such as a facelift, forehead lift or eyelid surgery — in which case the implants may be inserted through the incisions made for those procedures.

Am I a Good Candidate for Cheek Implants?

With this type of reconstructive plastic surgery, it is important for you to be healthy emotionally so that you make wise choices about what type of cheek implant will be best for your facial structure. Dr. Turner and his staff can help you assess your suitability during your initial consultation in Austin.

What is the Recovery Process for a Cheek Implant?

Your complete recovery time after a cheek implant in Austin is usually about six weeks, during which you may experience some numbness, swelling and bruising. Chewing, brushing your teeth, smiling and talking may be difficult for the first few days after surgery. You should be able to return to work after about five days, but you should avoid strenuous activity and rough contact near the face for at least four weeks. You will see immediate results, but the final effects of your cheek implants will be fully visible after about seven months.
