Patients with flat or "sunken" cheeks may benefit from placement of cheek implants. Modern implants are available to address primarily flat cheeks, "sunken" cheeks or both. Cheek implants are typically placed through a small incision under the upper lip.

Facial aging can affect volume at multiple levels. At the skin level, decreased collagen thickness and loss of elasticity lead to formation of wrinkles and tissue sagging. Beneath the skin, a gradual decrease in fat volume and in bone volume occurs.

Optimum rejuvenation of the aging cheek may require re-draping of sagging tissues (facelift and/or mid-face lift), skin resurfacing (to smooth wrinkles) and volume replacement with injections and/or cheek implants.
