Question :
How soon after I get cheek implants can I return to work? Will it be really noticeable t people that I’ve had work done?

Answer :
Cheek implants surgery can take a week or two before you can return to work without anyone recognizing that you have had any work done.  I prefer an intra-oral approach to cheek implants.  Although there is not a great deal of bruising following cheek implant surgery, the swelling can be quite profound for several days. The appearance of your face will change simply because of the placement of the cheek implants, however, the swelling will multiply these changes to your face so if you are self-conscious about changes to your appearance, you may want to wait two weeks prior to returning to work.

Question:

I’m interested in having a cheek lift because the cheek and midface area is my main concern. However, I have very slight jowling and was wondering if lifting the cheeks will lift the jowl at all.

Answer:

It would seem that lifting the cheek would also help to lift slight jowling. Unfortunately, I don’t think that this will be the case. I would suggest discussing with your surgeon having a mini facelift performed at the same time as your midface lift in order to appropriately address your jowls. I would not tell you to expect any appreciable resolution of your jowling if only a midface and cheek lift was being performed.
