Cheek Augmentation
Sydney Plastic Surgery provides you with a range of options to suit your individual needs, and this includes;
1-Soft touch treatment: using injectable fillers, hyaluronic acid and/or collagen injected with a fine needle in the office with or without local anaesthetics, this will offer you quick results that last for around 6 months.
Certain New Fillers can have an effect lasting up to 18 months.
After several months, the effects start to wear off, and you will require a top-up injection generally every 3-6 months.

2-Surgical procedure: By using either your own fatty tissue or an implant, a longer lasting refinement to the areas of your mid-face can be accomplished. Normally done under general anaesthesia or local aesthetic with sedation in a hospital setting. It takes about 60 minutes.
For cheek augmentation using your own fatty tissue, there will be no scar on the face. If you had an implant surgery, then the scar will be 3.5cm long inside the mouth, with no external scar. The sutures are dissolvable and do not need removal.
To decide on which treatment you need, book a consultation now and discuss the options with Dr Barnouti, your plastic surgeon.
