Cheek correction/Implant is a very popular cosmetic procedure intended to improve or to correct the appearance of the cheek. It is extremely beneficial to those people that have flat or sunken cheeks and also for making cheek sculpting that makes the cheekbone more prominent and can create a defined facial contour. With cheek correction, you can get the beautiful contour of the cheek that being a very prominent part of the face can greatly affect your overall facial appearance.
People with age tend to lose the elasticity of the cheek and it results in a sunken cheek that gives an aged look devoid of a youthful appearance. Cheek correction or cheek augmentation or cheek enhancement (Face) can correct sunken or hollow cheeks and bring a lively, youthful cheek in place. People having sunken or sagging cheek, triangular-shaped facial structure, wrinkled and aging cheek, unusually big cheekbones, asymmetrical cheeks or cheek deformities, can get an excellent result from cheek correction.
The outpatient procedure for cheek correction done with local anesthesia can discharge the patients on the same day. There are various procedures for cheek correction and choosing the correct procedure will depend on the goal of the procedure. The procedures may be a fat injection, cheek augmentation, facial fillers, cheekbone shaving, buccal fat pad removal and you can find a brief discussion for each procedure in the following paragraphs.
Fat injection or fat transfer, or fat transplantation can be very safe and the best cheek correction surgery for people with recessed, flat or sunken cheeks. Here, the doctor takes fat from the inner thigh or the lower part of the abdomen of the patient’s own body, and inject it into the cheek. It can make the cheek look fuller and reduce the fine lines and wrinkles, to produce a lovely appearance.
Cheek augmentation also called malar implant surgery can produce a more defined, sculpted look of the cheekbones and surgeons place biocompatible synthetic implants over the natural cheekbone of the patients. Facial fillers are very similar to fat injection and doctors use biodegradable dermal fillers made of hyaluronic acid instead of fat, and these are very safe for the body. However, the effect of the fillers may fade away gradually over a couple of years, whereas the use of non-biodegradable fillers can stay permanently.
In cheekbone shaving, the surgeon will shave some part of both or one cheekbone and it can help to create excellent face symmetry for those patients having unequal or too prominent cheekbones. The buccal fat pad removal procedure is similar to liposuction and here surgeon removes excess fat through a small incision made inside the cheek. The surgery can result in a better definition of the face and make the scarring invisible.
