Cheek Implants: Cheek implants are usually either a solid silicone implant or a solid polyethylene implant. Another option is injectables which are temprorary, but allow you to get a fell for what it would look like.

Fillers / Fat Graft: To give the cheeks a look that appears more naturally sculpted and full, I prefer to restore volume to the area by using cosmetic fillers or stem-cell enriched fat grafts.

Depends: Commonly the cheek implants are solid silicone or sometimes a porous plastic material. I commonly will use fat injections for a more permanent solution or various long lasting injectable fillers.
