This guide is for anyone who is interested in augmenting their cheekbones with facial implants. It is important to know the different types of implants so you are able to pursue the look you are going for, whether that is more feminine or masculine. I will discuss the different types of cheek implants below:
Malar implants: These implants are broader and enhance cheekbone projection by sitting directly over the cheekbones. They are the best option for patients who have a flat or underdeveloped midface and want more definition. In particular they are well-suited for men as they can add more fullness to the mid-face without exaggerating cheekbone prominence, which sometimes creates a more masculine and rugged appearance.


Submalar implants: These implants sit beneath the cheekbones and add volume to the midface area. They are commonly used in patients experiencing volume loss due to aging or those who have a naturally hollow mid-face. They elevate the midface while softening the nasolabial fold. They are best suited for women, as they help achieve the high and sculpted cheekbones that are associated with women beauty standards, and are often used to create a more delicate, contoured look.


Combined malar and submalar implants: These combine both types of implants, making both the cheekbone and mid-face fuller. They work for both men and women, in particular those who are wanting to restore volume as a result of aging or pursuing more overall facial fullness.
