Cheek implants are a common form of facial augmentation but there are numerous anatomic misconceptions about them. The cheeks are not a pure bone or soft tissue structure.

Festoons are a unique midface aesthetic issue with an anatomic complex basis that occurs in the prezygomatic space. Loss of fat volume of the subcutaneous fat and laxity of the orbicularis retaining ligament, SOOF and overlying skin are major elements in their formation.
