Cheek Augmentation in Flowood, MS

Define and Lift Your Midface with Customized Cheek Augmentation

High, full, and symmetrical cheeks are essential to balanced facial proportions. If age, genetics, or volume loss has left your midface looking flat or hollow, cheek augmentation can restore youthful contours and enhance your natural bone structure. At Defy Facial Spa in Flowood, MS, we offer both surgical and non-surgical options to help you achieve a more lifted, sculpted appearance that still looks unmistakably you.

Under the care of Dr. Michael Nichols, a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon, and Lee Anne Watson, a licensed aesthetician with advanced training in facial aesthetics, our approach to cheek enhancement blends medical expertise with an artistic eye. We personalize every treatment to your facial anatomy and cosmetic goals, ensuring natural-looking results.

How Cheek Augmentation Works

Cheek augmentation involves the enhancement of the malar (upper cheekbone) and submalar (lower cheek) areas. At Defy Facial Spa, we offer both surgical implant options and non-surgical dermal filler solutions, depending on your desired outcome and downtime preferences.

Treatment options include:

• Surgical cheek implants for long-lasting volume and definition
• Dermal fillers (like hyaluronic acid) for a non-permanent, customizable lift
• Combination treatments for comprehensive facial balancing

Dr. Nichols performs surgical cheek enhancement with precision and attention to symmetry, often as part of a more comprehensive facial surgery plan. For patients preferring less invasive methods, our injectable options deliver immediate lift and volume with minimal recovery.

Benefits of Cheek Augmentation

Patients seek cheek augmentation for both restorative and cosmetic reasons. Whether you want to reverse volume loss or improve facial harmony, this procedure offers dramatic yet natural-looking improvements.

Benefits include:

• Restored youthful volume in the midface
• Improved cheekbone projection and contour
• Balanced facial proportions
• Lifted appearance without a full facelift
• Minimally invasive options with no downtime (for dermal fillers)

Cheek augmentation can also enhance results from other services, such as lip augmentation or rhinoplasty, by improving overall facial balance.

Complementary Facial Procedures

Cheek augmentation often works best when it’s part of a broader facial aesthetic plan. At Defy, we offer a full spectrum of facial cosmetic procedures that can complement your cheek enhancement, including:

• Brow Lift for an elevated upper face
• Eyelid Surgery to reduce puffiness and eye sagging
• Face & Neck Lift for more comprehensive facial rejuvenation
• Injectables for wrinkle smoothing and contour refinement

We also provide advanced skin therapies, such as laser treatments and ZO® Skincare, to enhance skin quality and tone alongside structural improvements.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cheek Augmentation

Is cheek augmentation permanent?

Surgical implants are a permanent solution, while injectable fillers typically last 12–24 months depending on the product and your metabolism. We can help you decide which option suits your lifestyle and goals.

Will cheek fillers make me look puffy or unnatural?

Not at Defy. Our aesthetic philosophy is rooted in subtlety and proportion. Dr. Nichols uses advanced placement techniques to sculpt, not inflate—so your cheeks look lifted, not overdone.

What is the recovery time?

For non-surgical cheek enhancement with fillers, there’s little to no downtime. Surgical augmentation may involve a few days of swelling and recovery, with detailed aftercare instructions provided by our team.

Who is a candidate for cheek augmentation?

You may be a good candidate if you:

• Have volume loss or flat cheeks
• Want a more youthful contour
• Are in overall good health
• Have realistic expectations

During your consultation, we’ll assess your facial anatomy and recommend a personalized plan.

Can cheek augmentation be combined with other treatments?

Yes. Many patients pair cheek enhancement with dermabrasion, laser skin resurfacing, or scar revision for comprehensive facial refinement.
