Is cheek augmentation permanent?

Cheek augmentation with facial implants is permanent, while cheek augmentation using fat or fillers is not permanent. Fat transfer to the cheeks or facial fillers can last several months and are much less costly than cheek implants.

How can I build up my cheeks?

Cheeks can be built up and made more prominent with the addition of filler or cheek implants. Filler is not a permanent solution, though it can last several months. Cheek implants are a permanent solution, though it price is significantly higher than filler.
