What is front cheek surgery?

The anterior cheek refers to the area below the eyes, beside the nose, and above the nasolabial fold, which is a broad area on the face when viewed from the front, following the forehead.

When the anterior cheek area is broad or sunken, it can create an impression of wide cheekbones and a tired look.
In such cases, using implants to add volume can create a more balanced and three-dimensional facial structure, resulting in a youthful and vibrant appearance.

Methods of front cheek surgery

Surgical Procedure

  1. An incision is made inside the mouth.
  2. The implant is carefully shaped and inserted, avoiding nerves.
  3. The incision inside the mouth is sutured using dissolvable stitches.

Postoperative Care Instructions

  1. After surgery, continuing to use ice packs until the swelling subsides can be beneficial.
  2. After surgery, fasting for a day is required, followed by a soft diet (liquid foods such as porridge, juice, milk, etc.) for 7 days.
  3. From two weeks after surgery, almost normal eating is possible, but it’s advisable to cut food into small pieces, and it’s better to avoid hard foods until after 4 weeks.
  4. For about 3-4 days after surgery, wearing a compression bandage on the face while sleeping, avoiding positions where the head is lowered or lying face down, and using 2-3 soft pillows for support can help alleviate discomfort.
  5. After surgery, it’s important to rinse your mouth after meals to prevent inflammation and infection.
  6. Avoiding alcohol and smoking after surgery is necessary as they can delay wound healing. If unavoidable, alcohol and smoking can be resumed after 3-4 weeks.
  7. During the downtime after surgery, be cautious of strong impacts.
