During your consultation your cosmetic surgeon will take a general medical history and ask about any previous surgery or sinus infections. He will also want to discuss your goals for the procedure and how much increased prominence over the cheek, around the lower eyelid and in the mid cheek area you desire.
He will determine whether your facial structure makes you a good candidate for malar augmentation surgery, and he'll explain why trying to over-emphasise the cheekbones usually results in an artificial and unsatisfactory appearance. In general, the aim of the procedure is to retain a natural facial shape but enhance the definition.
You'll also discuss the wide variety of implants available and decide what type, design and size are appropriate for you. The implants most commonly used by our practice are semirigid ones, which, once implanted, feel as natural as the bones of your face.

Is there any risks involved with blepharoplasty?
I'm wondering how much it will cost to have my eyelids done and how long I would be away from home.
I am interested in rhinoplasty both for the bridge of the nose and the tip.
Does a chemical peel get rid of blackheahs, small dents and light scars?
Is it possible to have a necklift without having a general anaesthetic?
