Sculpted, Youthful Cheeks with Cheek Implants in Tampa

As we age, volume in the midface often diminishes, leading to flatter cheeks, deepened nasolabial folds, and a tired appearance. At Holcomb–Kreithen Plastic Surgery & Medspa in Tampa, we offer cheek implant surgery to restore youthful contours and create striking facial harmony. Whether performed on its own or as part of a more comprehensive rejuvenation plan, cheek augmentation can significantly elevate your overall appearance. If you’re ready to bring definition back to your midface with long-lasting results, our board-certified surgeons can guide you through a personalized plan tailored to your facial structure and goals.

Why Consider Cheek Implants?

Cheek augmentation with implants is an ideal option for individuals who:

  • Have lost volume in the midface due to aging
  • Want to enhance flat or underdeveloped cheekbones
  • Desire a more lifted, youthful appearance
  • Prefer a permanent solution over fillers
  • Are looking to improve facial symmetry and definition

Cheek implants can be used alone or in combination with other facial procedures such as a blepharoplasty (eyelid lift), facelift, or laser resurfacing for a complete rejuvenation.

Recovery After Cheek Implants

Most patients experience a 1-week recovery before returning to non-strenuous activities. Here's what you can expect:

  • Swelling and mild discomfort for the first several days
  • Minimal bruising, if any
  • Soft diet and limited mouth movement for the first few days
  • Return to work or school: typically after 5–7 days
  • Avoid heavy lifting or intense physical activity for 2–4 weeks

Post-operative care is closely monitored by our team to ensure smooth healing and outstanding results.

Cheek Implants vs. Other Options

While cheek implants are a permanent solution, we also offer other midface volumizing options:

Fat Grafting

  • Uses your own fat for natural-looking volume
  • May require touch-ups over time
  • Can be combined with other procedures

Dermal Fillers

  • Non-surgical
  • Ideal for subtle changes or trial before committing to implants
  • Requires maintenance every 6–12 months

During your consultation, we’ll help you determine whether implants, fat transfer, or fillers are best suited for your goals.
