The loss of teeth, associated with sunken lips and cheeks, has a debilitating psychological effect on a person. It is essential for clinicians to incorporate facial esthetics into their treatment plan for complete denture patients in order to improve the patients' confidence and quality of life. Cheek plumpers ensure adequate support to facial muscles, which, in turn, minimizes the appearance of wrinkles, lines, and sagging over time. This case report describes the fabrication of detachable cheek plumpers using magnets to enhance the facial esthetics of a completely edentulous patient. Magnet-retained cheek plumpers, being small and lightweight, allow ease of placement and cleaning without the addition of weight to the prosthesis.
牙齿缺失会导致嘴唇和脸颊凹陷，给人带来心理上的衰弱影响。对于临床医生来说，将面部美学纳入全口义齿患者的治疗计划中至关重要，以便提高患者的自信心和生活质量。颊脂垫能为面部肌肉提供足够的支撑，进而随着时间推移使皱纹、纹路和皮肤松弛现象减到最少。本病例报告描述了使用磁铁制作可摘式颊脂垫以增强全口无牙患者面部美学效果的过程。磁铁固定的颊脂垫体积小、重量轻，放置和清洁方便，且不会增加假体的重量。
