Cheek implant surgery is performed on an outpatient basis utilizing twilight anesthesia. While the patient is sleepy or asleep, local anesthetic is utilized to numb the surgical areas.

After the patient is asleep, tiny incisions are made on the inside of the mouth. The cheek implants are then placed into these incisions. Stitches are then placed, which dissolve over time.

Following cheek augmentation, slight discomfort, aching and some numbness and swelling can be expected. Patients are advised to keep their head elevated and apply cold compresses as often as possible during the first 24 to 48 hours.
