Full, well-defined cheeks are a key part of a youthful and beautiful appearance. However, as we age, the cheeks can start to appear flat or hollow. This can affect how the rest of the face looks, particularly the eyes and jawline.

Led by Dr. Bradley Ashpole, a board-certified plastic surgeon with more than 20 years of experience, our practice focuses on gorgeous, natural-looking results.

What Is Cheek Augmentation?
Cheek augmentation surgery is a procedure that enhances the volume and shape of the cheeks. This can be done using implants, fat transfer, or other advanced techniques, depending on your anatomy and desired outcome.
The goal of cheek augmentation is to improve facial balance. By adding volume to the midface, the cheeks can appear more lifted, and the face can look more youthful. It can also improve the transition between the lower eyelids and cheeks, reducing a tired appearance.
At our renowned cheek augmentation clinic, each treatment is carefully planned to complement your natural features rather than change your appearance dramatically.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Cheek Augmentation Surgery?
Many patients seek cheek augmentation to address volume loss or enhance naturally flat cheeks. You may be a good candidate if you:
- Feel your cheeks lack definition or projection
- Notice volume loss due to aging
- Want to improve facial balance and contour
- Are in good overall health
A consultation with our experienced cheek augmentation doctor is the best way to determine if this procedure is right for you. At Ashpole Plastic Surgery, we take the time to evaluate your facial structure and recommend the most appropriate approach.
Understanding Your Cheek Augmentation Options
There are several ways to achieve fuller cheeks. The right method depends on your goals, anatomy, and whether you prefer a surgical or non-surgical option.
Cheek Implants
Cheek implants provide a long-lasting solution for enhancing the cheek structure. They are carefully selected to match your facial proportions and are placed during surgery to create a more defined contour.
Fat Transfer
Fat transfer uses your own fat to restore volume. Fat is taken from another area of the body and injected into the cheeks for a natural look and feel.
Non Surgical Fillers
Some patients choose dermal fillers for temporary cheek enhancement. While not permanent, fillers can provide immediate results with little downtime.
During your consultation, we will explain each option and help you choose the best approach for your needs.

The Procedure
Cheek augmentation surgery is typically performed using anesthesia, so you won’t feel any pain. If implants are used, small incisions are placed in discreet locations. The implants are positioned to enhance projection and symmetry. For fat transfer, fat is carefully harvested and injected into the cheeks.
Recovery
After surgery, mild swelling and bruising are expected. Most patients return to normal activities within one to two weeks. As swellingdecreases, your results become more visible.
Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing and optimal results.
Results of Cheek Augmentation
Cheek augmentation can create a noticeable improvement in facial balance and contour. The cheeks appear fuller, and the overall structure of the face is enhanced.
Results from implants are long-lasting, while fat transfer can provide lasting improvement depending on how the body retains the transferred fat. Non-surgical fillers require maintenance over time.
The goal is always to achieve a natural look that complements your features.
