Although malar augmentation is usually performed under a general anaesthetic, it can be done as a day case. Incisions are made on the inside of the mouth so there are no external scars.
The implants are then fixed in position and the wounds closed.
A more limited malar augmentation can be accomplished using fat transfer.
It is also possible to correct a significant asymmetry between the two cheekbones by using implants complemented by fat transfer.
