Cheek Implants
Facial Implants for the chin, cheekbones or jawline can bring your facial features into greater harmony, enhancing their definition and youthfulness.
Profilo° Surgical uses innovative Jaw Implant materials that function just like real bone. They look and feel natural, and integrate seamlessly with the structures of the face.
Jaw Surgery has great versatility in correcting jaw and facial aesthetics, but traditional techniques aren't suited to every situation. Customised Cheek Implants may be ideal if your aesthetic needs are more unique.
Cheek Implants are commonly used to improve definition of the cheekbones, as well as providing improved facial balance and proportion if you have more prominent lower facial features.
Customised Cheel Implants offer superior performance to generic alternatives. They are designed to intimately fit the contours of your facial structures, with reduced surgical times and better aesthetics.
Our process involves state-of-the-art 3D Imaging systems, which we use to digitally reconstruct your jaws and face. This allows us to precisely visualise areas of your face where we can restore ideal balance.
We design your Cheek Implants in the virtual world, allowing you to see how they effect your facial appearance. Different sizes and shapes can be created, providing you with control over your treatment outcome.
Cheek Implants Procedure
1. Consultation
Your first consultation with our specialist will give you the opportunity to outline your concerns to us in detail, where you feel improvements can be made, and what your ultimate goals are with treatment.
We will provide you with all of your options for achieving your goals, which may include Jaw Surgery procedures as alternatives or complements to customised Cheek Implants.
2. Design
If you decide to proceed, we'll arrange for you to have medical CT scanning, which we use to digitally reconstruct your facial structures. With this we design your customised Cheek Implants in the virtual world.
These will demonstrate the changes that are possible to your jaw and facial structures, and will provide a digital simulation showing the transformation to your soft tissue profile.
3. Surgery
Your Cheek Implant surgery will be performed in a private hospital setting under General Anaesthesia. This will be coordinated by our highly experienced and caring administrative staff.
Cheek Implant surgery is performed through small incisions made in the mouth. The soft tissue is gently lifted away from the bony structures underneath, creating a space for the Cheek Implants to be placed.
The Cheek Implants are secured in place with small titanium screws. Over the following months, your Cheek Implants will fuse to the underlying skeletal structures that support them.

Any surgical procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, please seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
