What Are Your Concerns?
How Long Does it Take to Recover From Cheek Implants?
Patients often report a sensation similar to the numbness felt after a dental procedure immediately after their cheek augmentation. The next day, a normal feeling will return to your cheeks and mouth, though you will continue to experience some soreness due to swelling. Your surgeon may recommend a soft food diet to ease comfort and healing. Some tightness will also be felt in the cheeks as your skin adapts to the new, fuller shape.
Light exercise can begin as soon as you feel able, though more strenuous activities should be avoided for one week following your cheek augmentation. After your surgery, you will be given specific guidelines regarding sports that involve physical contact.
Is Cheek Augmentation Painful?
Cheek augmentation is performed using anesthesia to ensure you are not in any pain during the surgery. You may experience bruising, swelling, and discomfort during your recovery. Any pain can be combated with over-the-counter or prescription pain medication.
Will Cheek Augmentation Leave Scars?
Like any cosmetic surgery procedure requiring incisions, cheek augmentation surgery will leave scars. However, since the incisions are made in the mouth, the scars are not visible.
