Advanced Cheek Augmentation West Hollywood, CA | Dr. David L. Matlock, MD

Understanding Cheek Implant Procedures

Cheek augmentation is a sophisticated facial contouring technique designed to enhance facial symmetry and balance. The procedure focuses on two primary areas: the malar region (cheekbone) and the buccal area (soft cheek), each playing a critical role in overall facial aesthetics.

Anatomical Considerations

The ideal facial contour follows an elegant "Ogee" curve, characterized by a gentle, balanced S-shaped transition between the cheekbone and soft cheek regions. This nuanced approach ensures a natural, harmonious appearance rather than an artificially exaggerated result.

Comprehensive Augmentation Techniques

• Malar Area (Cheekbone) Augmentation: Utilizing advanced fat grafting techniques
• Buccal Area (Soft Cheek) Reduction: Precise lipectomy for refined facial contours
• Minimally invasive procedures with strategic fat transfer
• No external scarring for buccal area modifications

Fat Grafting Methodology

Dr. Matlock's preferred approach involves harvesting fat from areas like the abdomen, sides, or thighs. The harvested fat is meticulously prepared and injected in multiple microscopic layers, ensuring a smooth, natural enhancement of the malar region.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can anticipate minimal bruising and temporary swelling. Most individuals return to work within 5 days, with full resolution of post-procedural effects occurring over 3-6 weeks. Makeup can effectively camouflage initial bruising.
