Your Cheek Augmentation Consultation

Cheek implants provide fullness and contour to cheeks that are lacking in definition. People who have weak cheek anatomy, a narrow or flat face or those who have lost cheek definition due to aging may benefit from a cheek augmentation cosmetic surgery procedure.

The surgeon will have an in-depth consultation with the patient before the cheek augmentation procedure which will enable them to develop an individualized surgical plan. The patient should openly ask questions and discuss their concerns regarding the cheek augmentation procedure during the pre-op consultation.

Accomplished board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Hisham Seify provides cheek implants to patients in Newport Beach, Orange County, CA, and surrounding locations in this region of SoCal.

Purpose of Pre-operative Consultation

The primary goal of the surgeon during the consultation process will be to inform the patient on various aspects of cheek enhancement surgery and assist them in making a well-considered decision. The surgeon will provide the patient with pre-op preparation and post-op recovery guidelines. They will also discuss other aspects such as the procedure costs and financing options.

Patient’s Feedback

The surgeon will try to understand the patient’s reasons for seeking cheek enhancement surgery as well as the aspects of their mid-face region that they are unhappy about.

Moreover, the cheek augmentation surgeon will also ask the patient about their present health condition as well as review previous medical records. They will consider this feedback when developing a unique cheek augmentation surgical plan to address the specific requirements of the patient.

Aesthetic Goals of the Patient

The surgeon will encourage the patient to freely share their aesthetic needs and desires for their mid-face area during the pre-operative consultation process. If the surgeon has a clear comprehension of the patient’s needs, it enables them to focus on the targeted sites and offer more satisfactory results to the patient in a minimally invasive manner.

The surgeon will decide on an appropriate cheek implant plastic surgery technique depending on the patient’s requirements.

Health Evaluation

The patient should ideally arrange for their health records to be sent to the surgeon’s office directly from the primary care specialist or hospital before their consultation. The cheek implant surgeon will evaluate the medical records of the patient carefully.

In addition, they will meticulously assess the patient’s skin, face, and underlying cheekbone anatomy during the pre-op consultation. In some cases, they may order x-rays as well as other tests. The patient should honestly reveal any underlying medical concern or condition to the cheek augmentation surgeon.

Current Medications

The patient should enlist all prescription and non-prescription meds as well as any other drugs to show to the plastic surgeon during the consultation. They should also include any vitamins or herbal supplements that they may be taking in this list.

Questions to Ask

The patient will have a chance to ask the surgeon questions regarding the cheek augmentation surgery during the consultation. In addition, the patient may all ask questions that they have regarding the plastic surgeon’s background as well as their credentials at this meeting.
