Malar Implants
Malar implants, commonly known as cheek implants, are a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to enhance the prominence and contour of the cheeks. This procedure involves the placement of specially designed implants over the cheekbones to create a fuller, more defined facial appearance. Cheek implants are made from a variety of materials, including silicone, polyethylene, and other biocompatible substances.
The goal of malar implants is to provide better facial balance and symmetry, often benefiting individuals with flat or underdeveloped cheekbones. The surgery typically involves making incisions either inside the mouth or through the lower eyelids, minimizing visible scarring. Recovery from cheek augmentation usually involves some swelling and bruising, with most patients returning to their normal activities within a week or two. The results are generally long-lasting and can significantly improve facial aesthetics.
