Cheek (Malar and Submalar) Implants
How are cheek implants and mandibular jaw angle implants placed?
#Cheek and jaw angle implants are placed intraorally through incisions inside the oral cavity, ensuring zero visible facial scarring.
Clinical Pathology & Literature Context
Cheek Implants: Inserted through a small mucosal incision above the canine teeth in the upper gingival sulcus, placed directly over the zygomatic bone to project high cheekbones. Jaw Angle Implants: Inserted through a lower molar intraoral incision, placed over the lateral mandibular angle and fixed with titanium micro-screws to widen the jawline and create a crisp gonial angle.
Surgical & Post-Operative Recovery Protocol
Because all incisions are intraoral, the entire facial skin envelope remains unmarred by external cuts.
