Malar prostheses are implantable devices used to restore or enhance the soft tissue structure of the cheek area. Clinically, they help correct deformities caused by trauma, disease, or congenital conditions, improving facial symmetry and appearance for patients.
These devices are typically single-use, made from materials like silicone, and require surgical implantation beneath the skin. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified based on risk and intended use, with oversight ensuring safety and efficacy for cosmetic or reconstructive purposes.
