Cheek Implants Houston

Full, defined cheeks are considered a sign of youth and beauty. Over time, it’s natural for the face to lose fat, causing the cheeks to become flat and the skin to become saggy. Some people are born with naturally high cheekbones that look perfectly sculpted, but many of us were not so lucky.

Cheek augmentation is a cosmetic surgical procedure that it is intended to enhance the structure of the cheeks on a person’s face. To achieve this, a plastic surgeon may place a solid implant over the cheekbone or use injections with the patient’s own fat or synthetic fillers.

Facial implants are specially-formed solid materials that are compatible with human tissues, and they are designed to enhance or augment the physical structure of the face. Cheek implants increase the projection of the cheekbones; they add volume to areas that may be recessed or flat. Like other types of plastic surgery procedures, cheek augmentation can make the face appear more youthful or balance the facial features, making the patient feel more attractive.

There are three general shapes of cheek implants:

– Malar: These implants are placed directly on the cheekbones, providing higher cheek projection.

– Submalar: These implants provide fuller cheeks, rounding out a gaunt or sunken appearance.

– Combined: A combined implant augments both the cheekbones and the cheeks.

When to Consider Cheek Implants?

If the patient wishes to enhance the definition and fullness of his or her cheeks, to restore the contour and proportion of the facial structures that have been altered by aging, or to correct facial asymmetry or deformities resulting from injury or congenital conditions, cheek implants may be a viable option. Plastic surgery with facial implants is best performed on people whose head and skull have reached physical maturity. This generally occurs in late adolescence, and the procedure is not recommended for pre-adolescent children.

What is the General Procedure for Cheek Implants?

Cheek implant surgery is an outpatient procedure and is generally performed with the patient under local anesthesia and sedation to ensure his or her comfort. The specific area to be augmented in the cheek determines where an implant will be positioned on the cheekbone. Surgical markings are drawn on the face before surgery in order to assist the surgeon with implant placement.

The patient is positioned face-up on the operating table, and the surgeon makes a small incision near where the implant will be placed. Cheek implants are most often placed through incisions in the mouth or lower eyelid. A pocket is made in the facial tissue in which the implant is inserted, and the incision is finally closed with sutures and may be bandaged or taped.

While the initial outcome of plastic surgery with facial implants is noticeable almost immediately, it will be masked by visible swelling. It may take several months for swelling to fully dissipate.

Cheek implants can be made of a variety of materials. The most common material is solid silicone; in addition, two popular options are high-density porous polyethylene, and ePTFE (expanded polytetrafluoroethylene). These are inert substances, which provides better integration with the underlying tissue and bone than solid silicone does.

Scarring is minimal with cheek augmentation surgery, depending on the location of the incisions. If the patient is having the procedure done in combination with other facial cosmetic surgery, the plastic surgeon may leverage the existing incisions for the additional procedures.

What are the Post-Operative Procedures for Cheek Implants?

Bandages or dressings may be applied to keep the surgical site clean and to support the position of the implant during initial healing following the procedure. The patient

With this approach, we can make sure that you will be as safe as possible. We speak with you about your expectations and goals before assessing your medical history and determining the safest, most effective plan.

    What’s the difference between reconstructive and cosmetic surgery?

    The purpose of cosmetic surgery is to reshape the body to improve self-esteem and create a more ideal self-image. On the other hand, the purpose of reconstructive surgery is to address disfigurement, defects, and other abnormalities. These issues may arise after accidents, surgeries to remove tumors, and things of that nature. Another big difference between these two types of surgery is the fact that cosmetic surgery is rarely covered by health insurance, while reconstructive surgery is usually covered.

    What can I expect when I recover from my cosmetic surgery?

    Your recovery experience depends on a number of factors. First of all, the type of procedure you choose may impact your recovery. Some procedures are less extensive and invasive than others, and you will likely experience an easier recovery period as a result. In addition, different patients recover in different ways. Some may require more or less pain medication than others. Your surgeon can prescribe the correct pain medications to help you overcome any discomfort. The good news is that virtually all facial cosmetic procedures involve easy recovery periods.

    How does Botox work?

    Botox injections are designed to reduce or remove visible signs of aging. The most common targets are hyper-functional lines - commonly known as “wrinkles.” These lines result from the contraction of underlying facial musculature, and Botox is effective because it temporarily weakens these muscles and prevents them from contracting. Botox does this without affecting the sensory feeling in these muscles. Botox may take up to 7 days to take full effect, although some patients notice considerable results in as little as 24 hours.

    How do I choose the right size for my breast implants?

    Choosing the right size for your new breast implants is an important decision. The choice is obviously based heavily on your own personal desires and tastes. On the other hand, you also need to take into account a number of additional factors. You might need to consider things like whether you have breastfed heavily in the past, and how this has affected your breasts. Remember, you can also receive cosmetic surgery to make breasts smaller. You can even receive surgery to change the general shape of the breasts without necessarily changing their size.

    How long do I need to take off work?

    You may need to take some time off work after undergoing your cosmetic procedure. Your surgeon will speak with you and let you know how long you need to fully recuperate. In general, most patients should rest for at least a week after receiving cosmetic surgery (less invasive procedures like Botox shouldn’t require any time off work).
