Beautiful Balance
Why should I choose Athré Facial Plastics for cheek augmentation?
The human eye is naturally attracted to symmetry. If you have lost facial volume due to aging or have asymmetries in the face (even ones that are nearly impossible to see), it can subconsciously affect how you see yourself. Cheek augmentation in Houston at Athré Facial Plastics addresses these asymmetries and volume loss to improve facial definition and restore your best look. Enhance your natural beauty, add volume, and rejuvenate your face with this quick procedure.

Finding Facial Harmony
About Cheek Augmentation
The cheeks are the bony prominences that bring the entire face into proportion. A recessed cheek area can make the middle one-third of the face seem small and unbalanced. Bring volume back into this area with cheek augmentation, a quick and effective facial surgery procedure.
With cheek augmentation Houston patients are offered several options to enhance their cheekbones and add facial volume. Fillers are injectable substances, like hyaluronic acid, that provide temporary fullness. They're ideal for subtle improvements and require no downtime. Fat grafting uses your own fat cells, offering longer-lasting results that can improve skin quality. However, it's a surgical procedure with some recovery time. Cheek implants are permanent devices made of silicone or other materials that are placed surgically for a defined look. They provide the most dramatic change.
A Fulfilling Experience
What is the cheek augmentation procedure like?
During your consultation, Dr. Athré will discuss your goals and recommend the best approach for you. Our Houston cheek augmentation procedure can be performed using injectable fillers, fat grafting, or implants.
- Fillers: This minimally invasive option involves injecting hyaluronic acid or other fillers into the cheeks for subtle enhancement and immediate results.
- Fat Grafting: Fat cells are extracted from another area of your body, processed, and then re-injected into the cheeks for longer-lasting, natural-looking volume.
- Implants: Solid silicone implants are surgically placed to create sculpted cheekbones with permanent results.
Restore a Youthful Look
What issues can cheek augmentation address?
Cheek augmentation addresses the loss of facial volume that occurs naturally with age. This can lead to:
- Hollow cheeks
- Flat or sunken appearance
- Less defined jawline
- Overall loss of facial definition
By adding volume to the cheeks, cheek augmentation restores a youthful fullness and creates a more balanced and harmonious facial profile.

Care and Comfort
Cheek Augmentation Recovery
The cheek implant procedure normally takes 1 ½ hours, and patients can expect to see minimal bruising and swelling that should dissipate after about a week, when they can return to work and daily activities. Athré Facial Plastics offers guidance and care throughout the recovery process. Our care coordinators are available to answer your questions, and our follow-up appointments give Dr. Athré a chance to review your healing and give you the best chance at a speedy and complete recovery.
A Little More Cheek
Cheek Augmentation Results
Cheek augmentation results can vary depending on the method chosen, but all aim to achieve a fuller, more youthful appearance. Fillers provide subtle definition and volume that can last up to a year, while fat grafting offers longer-lasting, natural-looking results that may even improve skin quality. Implants deliver the most dramatic and permanent change, sculpting prominent cheekbones. The most significant improvement you'll likely notice is increased facial volume, potentially leading to a more defined jawline and lifted appearance. However, remember that swelling is common after any cheek augmentation procedure, so final results can take several weeks to become fully refined.

Client Testimonial
“I had an ultrasonic rhinoplasty and chin implant done a little over 9 months ago. The process, the office and Dr. Athre were all awesome. I am thrilled with my results. I have a masculine nose, and my whole face seems proportional. I was skeptical about the chin. I am such a believer. My advice to anyone is to just listen to Dr. Athre’s rec’s. He is very knowledgeable and very frank.”
