The edentulous state represents a compromise in the integrity of the masticatory system. Edentulousness is followed by adverse functional and esthetic sequelae which are perceived varying by the affected individuals. Patients perceiving edentulousness as socially unacceptable seek dental treatment both for function and esthetic or cosmetic reasons. One of the facial disfigurement with the ageing is sunken cheeks. This case report presents a method for the facial lift of sunken cheeks by the use of detachable cheek and lip plumpers in an edentulous patient.
