What are cheek implants made from?

Question:
What are cheek implants made from?

Answer:
Cheek implants can be made from a variety of materials, however most commonly they are made of silicone.  There are also varieties where the bulk of the implant is silicone, but it is coated in Gortex.  This allows for a small amount of tissue ingrowth into the implant stabilizing its position.
