The Ultimo Cheekbone Architecture™
The Ultimo Cheekbone Architecture™ — cheek augmentation at Ultimo Clinic — restores cheekbone projection and midface structure that is flat or under-defined. Defined cheekbones give the face a more youthful framework and support the tissue above. Performed with a silicone cheek implant (malar or submalar).
What It Addresses
- Flat or under-projected cheekbones
- A face that looks “descended” from weak cheekbone support
- A midface that has lost structure
If what is missing is bone projection, an implant provides stable, long-lasting structure. If what is missing is soft-tissue volume, facial fat transfer (your own fat) may be the choice. The two can be combined.

Frequently Asked Questions
Cheek implant or fat transfer — which is better?
A cheek implant adds stable, long-lasting bone projection, whereas fat transfer adds soft-tissue volume using your own fat. The choice depends on whether you lack bone structure or volume — assessed at consultation.
What is the difference between malar and submalar implants?
A malar implant adds projection to the upper cheekbone (the cheek prominence), while a submalar implant fills the hollow area below it. The choice is matched to your anatomy.
Does cheek augmentation leave a scar?
A cheek implant is usually placed through an incision inside the mouth, so there is no scar on the facial skin.
