Cheek Enhancement in NYC
If you’re considering a change to your facial appearance, the first step is a consultation with Dr. Gerald Imber, a world-renowned, board-certified plastic surgeon based in New York City. During your initial consultation, Dr. Imber will evaluate your facial structure, discuss your aesthetic goals, and recommend the most suitable approach — whether it’s cheek implant surgery, fat transfer, or dermal fillers for cheeks.
Fat Transfer
Fat transfer, also called fat grafting, is for patients who want a more subtle but still long-lasting improvement. This procedure involves removing fat from another area of the body — typically the abdomen or thighs.. The harvested fat is then purified and injected into the facial cheeks for a volumizing effect.
Why choose fat transfer?
- You prefer a natural alternative using your own fat.
- You want a more moderate increase in volume without implants.
- You desire long-lasting results but are willing to accept some fat resorption over time.
Because the fat tissue is your own, there’s almost zero risk of rejection.
Cheek Implants
Cheek implants are a surgical solution for patients seeking a permanent and significant improvement in midface definition. If using a cheek implant is necessary, this is an option Dr. Imber will suggest. They are placed through small incisions inside the mouth or along the lower eyelid, ensuring no visible scarring. Dr. Imber and his nurse will discuss details regarding anesthesia and surgery should you decide to move forward with surgery.
Why choose cheek implants?
- You want a dramatic, long-lasting change.
- You have naturally flat or hollow cheeks and want a more sculpted look.
- You don’t want routine maintenance treatments.
HA Fillers
For patients seeking a quick and temporary way to improve cheek definition or want to see how cheeks would look augmented first before having surgery, HA dermal fillers are the ideal choice. This non-surgical option involves injecting a soft, gel-like substance into targeted areas of the cheeks to restore lost volume and add contour. The procedure is minimally invasive, does not require anesthesia, and involves little to no downtime.
Why choose HA fillers?
- You want to “try on” a new look before committing to surgery.
- You prefer a subtle enhancement with the option to adjust over time.
- You need a fast recovery with minimal swelling and bruising.
- You don’t want to undergo anesthesia. (We can numb the areas before the injections if you prefer.)
Fillers typically last six months to two years, depending on the formulation and the individual’s metabolism. Many patients use fillers as a stepping stone before deciding on a more permanent procedure.
