Cheek Augmentation
Redefine Your Cheek Contours with Expert Precision in Dubai
Sculpted, lifted cheeks can transform the entire mid-face, restoring youthful definition, balancing features, and softening deep folds.
At Quttainah Specialized Hospital (QSH), we offer a range of cheek augmentation options in Dubai, including cheek fillers, cheek augmentation with fat transfer, and cheek implants.
Your plan is personalized to your anatomy, goals, and downtime preferences, delivering natural-looking contours that still look like you.
Who is cheek augmentation for?
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Have flat, hollow, or sunken cheeks (age-related or hereditary).
- Notice mid-face sagging, deepening nasolabial folds, or a “tired” look.
- Seek better facial proportion or symmetry after weight changes.
- Are in good health with realistic expectations.
Options for Cheek Augmentation
Different options cater to various needs. Many patients benefit from a staged or combined approach to treatment.
1) Cheek fillers (hyaluronic acid)
- Best for: Instant lift and definition with minimal downtime.
- Session time: Around 20–30 minutes.
- Longevity: Typically 6–12 months depending on product, placement, and lifestyle.
- Advantages: Reversible, adjustable, no incisions.
2) Cheek augmentation with fat transfer (fat grafting)
- Best for: Natural volume using your own tissue.
- Process: Gentle liposuction (e.g., abdomen/flanks), purification, then micro-injection to the cheeks in precise layers.
- Longevity: Grafts can be long-lasting once they establish a blood supply; touch-ups may be considered.
- Advantages: Soft, natural feel; improves donor area contour.
- Consider if you want a more durable solution than fillers with a natural look and feel.
3) Cheek implants (malar, submalar, or combined)
- Best for: Cheek augmentation surgery in Dubai seeking permanent, structural projection.
- Process: Small incisions to place a custom-selected implant over or below the cheekbone.
- Longevity: Permanent until removed or exchanged.
- Advantages: Predictable contour and symmetry.
- Consider if you want a defined, enduring cheekbone structure.
What to expect
Consultation & planning
- 3D aesthetic assessment of facial proportions, skin quality, and vector of lift.
- Discussion of options (cheek implants, cheek fillers, and fat transfer), expected longevity, and downtime.
- Review of medical history, medications, and photos; treatment mapping.
Procedure day
- Filler placement: Numbing as needed, precision injections along the cheek apex, zygomatic arch, and sub-malar areas for lift and support.
- Fat transfer: Under local or general anesthesia, fat is harvested, refined, and carefully layered into microdroplets to achieve natural contours.
- Implants: With general or local anesthesia with sedation; intraoral incisions, implant pocket creation, placement, and closure.
Recovery & results
- Cheek fillers: Minor swelling or bruising may occur for 1–3 days; most individuals return to normal activities on the same day. Initial lift is immediate; refinement continues as swelling subsides over the course of a week.
- Fat transfer: Swelling and mild tightness are common for around 1–2 weeks; early improvements are visible immediately with continued refinement over 2–3 months as the grafts mature.
- Cheek implants: Swelling peaks in 48–72 hours and gradually resolves over several weeks; final definition continues to sharpen for 2–3 months.
Results aim to elevate the mid-face, soften smile lines, and improve facial balance while keeping expression natural.
Safety first
- Mild swelling, bruising, or temporary asymmetry can occur after treatment.
- Infection or the need for minor revision is possible but uncommon.
- With cheek fillers, rare vascular complications may occur; hyaluronic acid fillers can be safely dissolved if needed.
- Fat grafting may result in partial fat resorption over time.
- Cheek implants can occasionally shift or require adjustment.
At Quttainah Specialized Hospital, all risks are thoroughly discussed, and strict safety protocols are followed to minimize complications.

FAQs: Cheek Augmentation in Dubai
It depends on your goals, anatomy, and how long you want the results to last. Cheek fillers are adjustable and minimal-downtime; fat transfer offers natural, longer-lasting fullness; cheek implants provide permanent structural projection. Your surgeon will help you choose after assessing your needs.
Fillers last about 6–12 months. Fat transfer is long-lasting once integrated, with possible touch-ups. Implants are permanent until removed or changed.
Discomfort is usually mild. Using a topical numbing agent or fillers and appropriate anesthesia for fat transfer or implants makes the procedure painless.
Post-procedure soreness and swelling are expected and can be managed with prescribed protocols.
With fillers, you can return to normal activity the same day. With a fat transfer procedure, the downtime is usually 1–2 weeks. For implants, light activities can be resumed in a few days. Swelling usually settles over several weeks.
Yes. Many patients pair mid-face enhancement with jawline contouring, skin tightening, or nasolabial fold refinement for balanced facial harmony.
Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved with an enzyme if needed.
Fillers show immediate lift with the best definition in about 7–14 days. Fat transfer and implants refine steadily over 2–3 months as swelling subsides and tissues settle.
Fees vary depending on the technique, product or implant choice, and the complexity of the procedure. After your consultation and facial analysis, we will provide a personalized quotation.
