Cheek Augmentation Seattle | Cheek Implants & Fillers in Seattle Washington

Both aging and genetics can result in cheeks that appear hollow, flat, and sunken, compromising the appearance and distracting from the rest of the features. Cheek augmentation, whether performed with non-invasive dermal fillers, fat transfer, or customized implants, can help restore balance and harmony in the face and create a look that is youthful and engaging. Dr. Nadeau performs cheek augmentation to increase midface volume and refine the facial contours. Results are naturally elegant and nuanced.

She will take into account your lifestyle, anatomy, aesthetic tastes, and comfort level to deliver a superior client experience from start to finish.

How is non-surgical cheek augmentation performed?

Cheek augmentation can be performed with dermal fillers, avoiding downtime and discomfort. Injectables such as Restylane, Juvederm, Radiesse, Sculptra, and Bellafill can be used to plump depleted midface contours and rejuvenate the cheeks quickly. Results can often last 1-2 years.

How is fat transfer cheek augmentation performed?

Dr. Nadeau can extract fat from a donor area such as the hips, belly, or thighs and use it to augment the cheeks in a natural-looking way. The fat is sterilized and purified before injection and presents next to no risks for the patient. About 70% of the transferred fat survives, providing a healthy increase in volume.

How is cheek augmentation with implants performed?

Cheek implants today are highly versatile and come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes to suit the patient’s wishes. They are typically made of solid silicone or porous polyethylene, just like chin implants. Placed over the cheekbones, implants can augment midface definition and provide a natural boost in youthfulness. Results are long-lasting and sustainable.

What are the benefits of cheek augmentation?

Harmonizes and balances the features
Creates a more youthful, inviting appearance
Enhances self-confidence and self-image
Treatment can be highly customized to suit your needs

Who is an ideal candidate for the procedure?

There is no ideal age to undergo cheek augmentation. One should undergo the procedure whenever the hollowed appearance of the cheeks begins to take away from the beauty of the face as a whole. You must be mentally and physically healthy before undergoing cheek augmentation. You should have a realistic, positive attitude towards your results, based on a private consultation with Dr. Nadeau, who will answer all your questions in detail.

What will my recovery entail?

Recovery times will vary based on the method used to enhance the cheeks. Clients who undergo cheek augmentation with implants can expect some mild bruising, swelling, and discomfort after surgery. This typically lasts no more than a few days and can be well treated with painkillers prescribed by Dr. Nadeau.

Patients who undergo augmentation using dermal fillers will have no downtime and will be able to resume normal activities immediately. Fat transfer recipients will experience a recovery period somewhere in between the two. Dr. Nadeau will ensure that you receive detailed instructions for self-care as part of your aftercare package. She will also schedule follow-up sessions as needed.
