Considering Cheek Enhancement?
Strong cheekbones are traditionally considered a sign of beauty. They add to the definition of the face and help improve facial harmony. Not everyone is fortunate enough to be born with strong cheekbones though, and many experience a loss of definition in their cheeks over the years as their skin begins to sag.

How Is Cheek Enhancement Performed?
In the past, many surgeons used implants as a primary method for cheek enhancement. Modern studies and experience have proven that non-surgical Dermafillers are not only quicker and easier, but also provide excellent results without the hassles of surgery.
3 Main Advantages of Dermafillers vs. Surgery
No down time needed! Surgery leaves patients swollen for 1-2 weeks, and final results can take up to 2 months to be seen. Dermafillers provide immediate results with little to no bruising and swelling.
Dr. - Patient Interaction: Dr. Mabrie is able to work with you in real time to assure he achieves your cosmetic goals. You are able to make suggestions on where the Dermafiller is placed and how much is used.
Lowered Risk: There is much less risk of complication and infection when using Dermafillers rather than implants.
Where will the Dermafiller be placed?
There are two main areas that Dermafiller can be used to enhance the cheek area.
The first is to the actual cheekbone, creating a sharp and chiseled appearance to the structure of the face.

The second is in the fleshy part of the cheek, closer to the nose. This area can begin to droop with age, making you appear much older than you really are. Dermafiller used in this area will create a lift, instantly providing you with a more youthful and rested appearance.

What Is the Recovery Like?
You may experience slight redness and swelling immediately after the procedure, but this will subside completely by the next morning. Some people also experience a small amount of bruising, which usually goes away within a few days and is easily concealed with make-up.
How do I know if I'm a good candidate for Cheek Enhancement?
The key to success of a procedure like cheek enhancement is realistic expectations. The procedure will change your look subtly, not radically. If you are generally satisfied with the appearance of your face and you're just looking for some added definition in the cheek area, the procedure may be a good choice for you. It may also be something to consider adding to the effectiveness of a facelift. Dr. Mabrie will work with you in consultation to ensure you and he are in agreement about the suitability of cheek enhancement for you.
