The Benefits of Submalar Augmentation For many individuals, especially in the 38 to 50 age group, Submalar Augmentation can postpone the immediate need for face lift surgery. In addition to improving the appearance of the midfacial area, the contoured portion of the implant can gently extend the profile to deliver a more natural “high cheekbone” effect than conventional cheek implants. By providing improved skeletal structure, Submalar Augmentation has the ability to restore natural midface contours in those people who previously had face lift surgery and were left with the mask look. This procedure can also restore lip fullness by reversing the down turned, sad expression often seen in aging lips.
