Cheek Augmentation In India
The overall facial symmetry and aesthetics are greatly impacted if the cheeks appear sunken or drooping. The loss of fat in the mid-face or inappropriate positioning of cheekbones can emphasize the appearance of under-eye wrinkles and fine lines, thus making people look much older.
Most people are not born with fuller or plump cheeks. On the other hand, some people tend to experience the loss of cheek volume and sagging as they age. Whatever the case, the out-of-proportion cheeks result in an unattractive face which makes people lose their self-confidence and self-esteem. Thankfully, these concerns can be addressed by various surgical & non-surgical procedures for cheek augmentation in India performed at Designer Bodyz.

1. Cheek Augmentation with Fillers (Non-surgical)
This is a method to provide temporary lift and volume to the cheeks. Dermal fillers are also known as soft tissue fillers or injectable fillers. The fillers that are used for cheek augmentation are biosynthetic materials such as hyaluronic acid or collagen-stimulators. Hyaluronic acid fillers work by improving skin hydration as it helps the skin to retain its moisture. Cheek fillers can help counteract aging in the cheek area by restoring the lost volume, softening fine lines and wrinkles, and subtly lifting the sagging skin. They can even help restore the lost collagen in the cheeks and make the skin in that area plump and smooth. Popular cheek fillers readily available include Radiesse, Juvederm Voluma, and Sculptra.
Procedure: The area to be treated is first anesthetized with topical numbing agents. Next, a small amount of selected cheek filler is injected into the targeted area. The dosage and number of injections to be administered depending upon the desired cheek volume. After giving injections, the area is massaged to generate natural and evenly-distributed results and to find out if additional injections are needed.
2. Cheek Augmentation with Fat Transfer (Surgical)
Fat transfer or fat grafting is a minimally-invasive technique wherein the patient’s fat cells are harvested and re-administered into the cheeks. The donor areas from where fat is removed include the thighs, stomach, back of the arms, and love handles. When the autologous fat transfer is performed for cheeks, the patient can expect lifted, voluminous cheeks, smoother skin, and a rejuvenated facial look.
Procedure: Firstly, the donor site is numbed with local anesthesia. Next, the surgeon collects the fat cells from the selected body areas through a liposuction technique either using a sterile syringe or a fat collection chamber. The accumulated fats that are sucked out of the body are then sterilized to get a concentrated amount of fat. Further, this fat is transferred into the cheeks using fat grafting cannulas or syringes and evenly distributed in the cheeks. The results obtained can last for several years.
3. Cheek Augmentation with Implants
If the patient has a significant loss of volume in the cheek area, then cheek implant surgery can help. Cheek implants are composed of biocompatible solid materials like silicone, high-density porous polyethylene, and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene. They can be installed into the cheeks to add considerable fullness and volume to the cheeks and create a lifting effect.
Procedure: There are different techniques used to place cheek implants in India at Designer Bodyz. One approach is to make small incisions inside the mouth close to the top of the gum line and slide the implants into the created skin pocket. Another way is to make external cuts near the eyes to install the implant. After placing the implant, the incisions are closed with skin adhesives, sutures, or tapes. At the end of the surgery, the cheeks permanently appear fuller and possibly much softer.
