During a malar implant procedure, the surgeon operates on which part of the face?

In a malar implant procedure, the surgeon focuses on the cheeks, specifically enhancing the prominence of the malar bones (the cheekbones). This surgical intervention aims to achieve facial aesthetic improvements by augmenting the volume and contour of the cheeks, which can contribute to a more youthful and balanced facial appearance. By placing the implants in the appropriate location, the surgeon increases the projection of the cheeks, which can help achieve harmony with other facial features.

This procedure is distinct and does not involve the structures of the nose, forehead, or chin, which are the areas targeted for other types of surgical procedures.
