Are there any medical reasons why someone would need cheek implants?

Probably not: Facial implants are usually placed to improve or 'balance' facial esthetics.

Unlikely: Most of the time they are used for cosmetic reasons. There are some rare instances where they would be used to restore congenital deformities or defects after cancer surgery.
