All sorts of cosmetic options are available for those who would like to enhance their appearance and cheek implant surgery is one of them.

Host Maggie Philbin chats to Barbara Jemec, a cosmetic surgeon from the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) to discover the facts about this procedure, often chosen by those would like to give themselves more prominent cheekbones, a feature that’s long been associated with youth and beauty.

Barbara takes Maggie through the procedure itself as well as the recovery period where she reveals that the patient needs to wear a face garment for the swelling and bruising. People who are best suited to this type of surgery are those who are able to improve their look within the bounds of normality, she reveals.

Also under discussion are the different types of implants available, the risks, the costs and how to find a good surgeon to carry out the procedure.
