As we age, our faces naturally lose volume, leading to hollow or saggy cheeks. Cheek surgery, also known as cheek augmentation or reduction, can help restore a youthful appearance by addressing these concerns. Dr. Abizer Kapadia specializes in cheek surgery to help you achieve a more balanced and rejuvenated facial aesthetic.
What is Cheek Surgery?
Cheek surgery encompasses procedures designed to reshape and enhance the cheeks, improving facial harmony. There are two main types of cheek surgery:
- Cheek Augmentation: This procedure adds volume to the cheeks, combating age-related volume loss or enhancing naturally flat cheeks. It can be achieved through:
- Cheek Implants: Solid implants are surgically placed to provide a more defined cheekbone structure.
- Fat Grafting: Fat is harvested from another area of your body and injected into the cheeks to add volume.
- Cheek Reduction (Buccal Fat Removal): This procedure removes excess fat from the cheeks, creating a more sculpted and contoured appearance.
Why Consider Cheek Surgery?
Cheek surgery offers several benefits for individuals seeking facial rejuvenation or enhancement:
- Restores youthful volume to hollow cheeks.
- Corrects sagging or flattened cheeks.
- Enhances facial balance and harmony.
- Creates a more defined and sculpted cheekbone structure.

The Cheek Surgery Procedure
Cheek augmentation typically involves small incisions either inside the mouth or under the eyelid. For fat grafting, fat is harvested via liposuction and then injected into the cheeks. Cheek reduction involves removing buccal fat pads through incisions inside the mouth. The specific techniques and approach will be tailored to your individual needs and desired outcome.
Recovery and Results
Following cheek surgery, you can expect some mild swelling and discomfort, which can be managed with medication and cold compresses. The recovery period varies depending on the specific procedure performed, but most patients can return to their normal activities within a week or two. The results of cheek surgery are long-lasting, providing a more youthful and balanced facial appearance.
