There is no particular cheek shape or definition that most men or women have. In general, a fuller more prominent cheek is ideal for the Facial Feminization process. There are 3 different main types of implants, which come in a variety of sizes so that each patient can receive a customized fit.

​

• Cheek implants (malar): These are placed directly on the cheek bones to increase prominence or give “high” cheek bones.

• Below the cheek (submalar): These are placed just under the cheek bone to correct a hollow or sunken-in appearance and to create more fullness.

• Combined (malar/submalar): These implants go over and below the cheek bone to increase prominence and to correct hollowness under the cheek.

​

This procedure is usually performed through incisions inside the mouth so there are no visible scars.
