What Should I Do Before Having My Cheek Augmentation?

Cheek augmentation can change your appearance for the better, and it’s important that you understand every step of the procedure before you move forward.

Setting up an in-person consultation with one of our board-certified surgeons will help you understand everything you need to know, so you can be comfortable and completely at ease before your cheek augmentation procedure.

What Should I Expect on The Day of My Cheek Augmentation?

The incision for your cheek augmentation will be placed on the outer cheek, or at the top of your upper lip. Your surgeon will form a pocket inside the soft tissue before placing the implant. Once the implant is properly positioned, the incisions will be closed.

What Can I Expect After My Cheek Augmentation?

Your Richmond cheek augmentation will cause a feeling of tightness in the face for a few days, during which time you might also deal with some mild to moderate pain. Using your mouth might be a little difficult until the swelling subsides.
