Implantes de Mejillas

Tener unos pómulos definidos es considerado como un signo de juventud y belleza. Con el tiempo, es natural que la cara pierda grasa, haciendo que las mejillas se vuelvan planas y que la piel quede floja. Algunas personas nacen naturalmente con pómulos grandes que se ven perfectamente esculpido, pero muchos de nosotros no hemos tenido tanta suerte.

La cirugía de aumento de pómulos es un procedimiento quirúrgico cosmético que pretende mejorar la estructura de las mejillas de la cara de una persona. Para lograr esto, un cirujano plástico puede colocar un implante sólido a lo largo de los pómulos o a través de inyecciones con la propia grasa del paciente o rellenos sintéticos.

Los implantes faciales están especialmente fabricados de materiales sólidos que son compatibles con los tejidos humanos, y que están diseñados para mejorar o aumentar la estructura física de la cara. Los implantes de pómulos aumentan la proyección de los pómulos; añaden volumen a las áreas que pueden estar hundidas o planas. Al igual que otros tipos de procedimientos de cirugía plástica, aumento de pómulos puede hacer que la cara parezca más juvenil o equilibrar los rasgos faciales, haciendo que el paciente se sienta más atractivo.

Hay tres tipos de formas de implantes de mejilla:

– Malar: Estos implantes se colocan directamente sobre los pómulos, proporcionando una mayor proyección de la mejilla.

– Submalar: Estos implantes proporcionan mejillas más grandes, rellenando las mejillas delgadas o de apariencia hundida.

– Combinado: Un implante combinado aumenta tanto los pómulos y como las mejillas.

¿Cuándo considerar los implantes de pómulos?

Si el paciente desea mejorar la definición y la plenitud de sus mejillas, para restaurar el contorno y la proporción de las estructuras faciales que han sido alteradas por el envejecimiento, o para corregir alguna asimetría facial o deformidad resultante de condiciones congénitas o lesiones, los implantes de mejilla puede ser una opción viable. La cirugía plástica con implantes faciales tiene más éxito en personas cuya cabeza y cráneo han alcanzado la madurez física. Esto ocurre generalmente al final adolescencia, el procedimiento no se recomienda para niños pre-adolescentes.

¿Cuál es el procedimiento general para una cirugía de implantes de mejillas?

La cirugía de implante de mejillas es un procedimiento ambulatorio y generalmente se realiza con el paciente bajo anestesia local y sedación para asegurar su comodidad. El área específica a ser aumentada en la mejilla determinará dónde se coloca un implante en el pómulo. Se dibujan marcas quirúrgicas en la cara antes de la cirugía con el fin de ayudar al cirujano con la colocación del implante.

El paciente se coloca boca arriba en la mesa de operaciones, el cirujano entonces hace una pequeña incisión cerca de donde se colocará el implante. Los implantes de mejillas se colocan en su mayoría a través de incisiones en la boca o en el párpado inferior. Se hace un bolsillo en el tejido facial en donde insertará el implante, la incisión finalmente se cierra con suturas y puede ser vendada o cubierta.

Si bien el resultado inicial de la cirugía plástica con los implantes faciales se nota casi de inmediato, será enmascarado por la hinchazón visible. Puede tomar varios meses para que la hinchazón se disipe totalmente.

Los implantes de pómulos pueden estar hechos de una variedad de materiales. El material más común es la silicona sólida; Además, dos opciones populares son el polietileno poroso de alta densidad, y ePTFE (politetrafluoroetileno expandido). Estas son sustancias inertes, proporcionan una mejor integración con el tejido subyacente que la silicona sólida.

La cicatrización es mínima con la cirugía de aumento de mejillas, dependiendo de la ubicación de las incisiones. Si el paciente se realizará el procedimiento en combinación con otros tipos de cirugía estética facial, el cirujano plástico puede aprovechar las incisiones existentes para los procedimientos adicionales.

¿Cuáles son los Procedimientos postoperatorios de la cirugía de implantes de mejillas?

Se pueden usar vendajes o apósitos para mantener el sitio de la cirugía limpio y para mantener el implante en posición durante la cicatrización inicial después del procedimiento.

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).
