Why Choose Cheek Augmentation?.
Cheekbones that are too low can make the face appear gaunt and disproportionately square, which may affect overall facial aesthetics. Cheek Augmentation at Viet My Plastic Surgery Hospital is a safe and effective method to obtain fuller and more balanced cheekbones, resulting in a more beautiful and harmonious facial appearance.
Who is Suitable for Cheek Augmentation?.
+ Individuals with low cheekbones that lack balance with other facial features.
+ Those with hollow cheeks or prominent cheekbone structure.
+ Individuals with fully developed facial structures who wish to undergo aesthetic intervention for a more elegant facial contour.
Cheek Augmentation Methods at Viet My Plastic Surgery Hospital.
- There are currently three widely used cheek augmentation methods, which ensure safety and minimize health complications:
1. Cheek Augmentation with Dermal Fillers (Hyaluronic Acid).
This is a simple, gentle, and minimally invasive procedure which provides immediate results. However, the effect is only temporary, lasting approximately 6 months to 1 year. To maintain the desired height, revision injections are required.
2. Cheek Augmentation with Autologous Fat Grafting.
This method harvests excess fat from the patient’s body - such as the abdomen, waist, thighs, etc., to enhance the cheekbones, making them higher and fuller. Prior to injection, the fat undergoes a centrifugation process to remove blood and plasma, isolating pure fat cells. The fat cells which are successfully integrated will remain permanently.
3. Surgical Cheek Augmentation (Cheek Implants).
This is considered the optimal method for high efficiency and long-lasting results. Surgical check augmentation is a technique which involves inserting two alloplastic implants in the cheek area through a small incision in the oral cavity.
These implants reshape the cheeks, providing perfectly symmetrical and balanced with the face while significantly reducing wrinkles. This method applies modern techniques to improve facial structure, providing a more confident and impressive appearance.
Advantages of Surgical Cheek Augmentation.
+ Achieves a naturally elevated cheekbone contour, creating a more harmonious, balanced, and youthful facial appearance.
+ Ensures maximum safety.
+ Performed without pain, and offers outstanding aesthetic results that are also long-lasting.
+ Effectively conceals scars since the incision is inside the oral cavity.
+ Does not affect the ability to express natural facial expressions.
The Process of Cheek Augmentation with Alloplastic Implants.
- Step 1: The doctor personally examines and consults on the facial structure as well as the proportion of the cheek that is suited.
- Step 2: Precisely measures and marks the areas for implant placement, calculating the exact height required to achieve a balanced lift.
- Step 3: Thoroughly sterilizes and administers local anesthesia to the surgical area.
- Step 4: Creates a small intraoral incision to create a pocket between the cheekbone and facial muscles. The alloplastic implant is then inserted and sculpted to ensure perfect symmetry and facial harmony.
- Step 5: The incision is closed using dissolvable aesthetic sutures. Finally, the doctor will provide a detailed guide on nutrition and post-operative care.
Post-Operative Care.
+ Take prescribed medications.
+ Apply ice frequently during the first 3-4 days to effectively reduce swelling and pain.
+ Gently rinse and maintain proper oral hygiene to ensure the intraoral wound heals correctly, and to prevent infection.
+ Stick to soft foods during the first week after surgery. Avoid spicy or hot foods.
+ Avoid playing sports and any direct impact on the cheek area.
+ Attend follow-up appointments and follow the doctor's care instructions carefully.
The Post-Operative Results.
– The elevated cheeks are natural and beautiful, making the face become more harmonious and balanced. No visible scars, and no traces of surgical intervention.
– The results of cheek augmentation are stable and long-lasting.
– The implant material is bio-friendly and compatible with the body, ensuring absolute safety. The procedure does not affect the ability to show natural facial expressions.
