Permanent tooth replacement solutions using state-of-the-art implant technology
Cheek implants (malarplasty) is a popular procedure that is typically performed for individuals who want to enhance the aesthetic appearance of their face and restore a natural youthful expression. As people age, one of the primary areas that is affected are the cheeks, which begin to sag and become less defined. The cheek implant procedure is minimally invasive and typically has tremendous results in enhancing cheek bones, restoring a youthful appearance, and reducing or potentially eliminating the need for a face lift. For individuals whose cheeks have lost volume, either due to weight loss or aging, a cheek implant that is placed below or on the cheekbones is a quick and effective solution for this issue. At Lake Norman Oral & Facial Surgery, we offer a full range of oral and maxillofacial surgical procedures, specializing in facial reconstruction, facial surgery, corrective jaw surgery, obstructive sleep apnea, and wisdom tooth removal.

The cost of your procedure will be determined by a variety of factors, such as the severity of your condition, any unique health issues you have that may complicate the procedure, and what type of insurance plan you have. Our office will file your claim, handle the paperwork, and ensure you maximize your insurance reimbursement. The remaining balance following your insurance coverage will be your responsibility. Prior to performing the procedure, we will discuss the expected cost, as well as payment plan options that are available to you, such as Lending Club and Care Credit, which offer 6 and 12 month interest-free payment plans.
Words cannot express enough, how wonderful, caring and professional Dr. Haigney and his staff are! After being rushed to the Huntersville hospital with an orbital fracture, broken nose and other facial damage, Dr. Haigney rushed me into surgery (on his day off I must add) and corrected all my problems. I only wish all doctors cared as much about their patients and their recovery as Dr. Haigney and his staff did. Thank you so much for everything! Your attention and compassion has helped me make my recovery as comfortable as possible. 5 star service!
