The face looks beautiful when it is well structured and proportionate. Distortion of any of the elements can take away the symmetry and the face loses its appeal. Since the cheeks make up the bulk of the face, their shape, size and structure have a major role to play in the ultimate look of a person.
Being a three dimensional enlargement, the cheek poses a challenge in defining a normal size or shape. From the front, it is considered ideal for the cheek to bulge one finger-breadth to the side. In profile, the cheek should form a distinctive peak forwards under the eye. In a flawless face, the chin and both cheeks should form a triangle. Dr. Vivek Kumar, the expert cheek augmentation surgeon in Delhi, explains that the cheek augmentation procedure is a minimally invasive, scar-less way to accentuate the cheeks and give better definition to the facial features.
Procedure
Depending on the original structures and requirement of the patient, there are two types of procedures performed on the cheeks.
- Cheek implants: With advancements in technology, a large variety of implants are available, providing more options for the surgeon to choose from. The incision is made inside the mouth, or under the lower eyelid. The implant can also be inserted during a facelift procedure.
- Fat elimination: For clients having chubby cheeks, a simple procedure for fat elimination can help them to get a chiseled look. A small incision is made inside the mouth and a gob of fat is removed easily from the cheek.
