About Cheek Augmentation

Sunken or hollow cheeks can make you appear older than you actually are, which is a concern many wish to address. At Hermosa Plastic Surgery, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Miguel Gallegos offers both surgical and nonsurgical cheek augmentation to restore volume and lift to the mid-face. Mid-face augmentation can be achieved using injectable dermal fillers or surgically placed silicone implants. During your private consultation, Dr. Gallegos will review the benefits of each option and help determine which approach best fits your goals. Contact our Albuquerque, NM office to schedule an appointment and discover how cheek augmentation can give you a fuller, more youthful appearance.

Am I a Candidate for Cheek Augmentation?

Ideal candidates for surgical or nonsurgical cheek enhancement include men and women who:

  • Desire increased volume in the mid-face
  • Have experienced age-related volume loss in the cheeks
  • Have naturally hollow or flat cheeks
  • Have lost significant weight resulting in sagging cheeks
  • Have mid-face imbalances due to congenital defects, physical conditions, or trauma
  • Are in good overall health

Injectable fillers are a great option for those seeking temporary results without the commitment of surgery. They also serve as a useful way to preview the volume and lift you may want before opting for implants. Surgical cheek augmentation with implants offers longer-lasting results but requires downtime for recovery.
