Gender Facial Affirmation Surgery

Cheek augmentation is frequently used in facial feminization surgery. Options for augmentation include both surgical and nonsurgical techniques, such as autologous and non-autologous injections, implants, and osteotomies. Cheek augmentation can be combined with other facial procedures. Complications of cheek augmentation include malposition, resorption, asymmetry, and unfavorable cosmetic results. Cheek augmentation should be considered as part of an overall facial feminizing plan.
