Cheek Augmentation
Plastic Surgery in Atlanta, GA
Prominent cheekbones are associated with a youthful and refreshed appearance. Unfortunately, some individuals do not have the underlying skeletal framework to create these cheekbones, which may result in a flattened or hollow-looking face. Cheek augmentation is a cosmetic procedure performed to create fuller, lifted cheeks for a more attractive and youthful appearance. Our office is 20 minutes from Downtown Atlanta and 15 minutes from Buckhead.
What is Cheek Augmentation?
Cheek augmentation is a cosmetic procedure done to add volume or lift to the cheeks. Fat grafting and fat transfer, facial fillers, or the use of cheek implants are the most common techniques used to achieve fuller and, thereby, more youthful cheeks.
What Are the Benefits of Cheek Augmentation?
Many of our Atlanta area patients notice that their face looks more defined, sculpted, and youthful after treatment. Adding volume to the cheeks can soften deep lines, reduce a hollow or tired look, and create a natural lift that brightens the face.
In some cases, cheek augmentation can even help make the eyes appear more refreshed and the jawline more balanced. Beyond just the aesthetic improvements, many of our patients also mention experiencing a boost in their self-confidence when their outer appearance matches how youthful and energetic they feel on the inside.
Who Are the Best Candidates For Cheek Augmentation?
Individuals who wish to add more fullness to their cheeks, are in good health, are non-smokers (if a surgical procedure is contemplated), and have realistic expectations for the outcome of their procedure are ideal candidates. If you would like to determine if you are a candidate for cheek augmentation, contact our office today to schedule a personalized consultation with Dr. Walker.

What to Expect on the Day of Cheek Augmentation Surgery
Cheek augmentation is an outpatient procedure performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the technique and on your wishes. Dr. Walker will recommend the best option for you.
The incision location will depend on the technique utilized. For fat transfer, a small stab incision will be created near the area of fat harvest as well as on your cheeks. If cheek implants are used, incisions may be placed inside your mouth or under your eyelid. Sutures will be used to close incisions.
Cheek Augmentation Recovery
Following cheek augmentation, you may experience swelling and bruising, which is completely normal. No visible scarring is present, and hidden incisions should be nearly invisible when fully healed. Fuller, more lifted cheeks should be noticeable right after the procedure. However, the final results should be visible after about one month. Cheek augmentation surgery results in fuller-looking cheeks, and some clients even find that their cheeks appear lifted. Results from cheek implants are permanent, while results from fat transfer may last for several years.
How Much Does Cheek Augmentation Cost in Atlanta, GA?
The cost of cheek augmentation in Atlanta ranges anywhere from $5,000 to $9,000 for surgical cheek augmentation, while nonsurgical options such as dermal fillers typically cost between $1,000 and $2,000 per session.
