The purpose of enlarging the cheeks is to increase the volume or lift the cheeks. Some people get upset when their cheeks shrink or even droop with age. Others never create the desired volume in their cheeks, and the cheeks, which may be considered smooth or thin, bother them. Specific cheeks and shaved cheeks are a sign of beauty and charm. Prominent cheeks improve facial profile and create a youthful appearance. If you are unhappy with your hollow cheeks or your face has shrunk due to aging, cheek augmentation is the best solution to your problem that brings you freshness, youth and confidence .
Cheek augmentation is one of the most common cosmetic surgeries in Iran, which is offered in beauty clinics and hospitals across the country, including the cities of Tehran, Mashhad, Shiraz and Isfahan. And up-to-date medical equipment and technologies in the field of cheek surgery, such as cheek augmentation and cheek reduction techniques, help a large number of people achieve their goal of having a beautiful face every year.
In this text, we will introduce you to species planting in Iran and answer some common questions about this method
.
A cheek augmentation can be completed in several different ways. The goal of this procedure is to rejuvenate the midfacial area by increasing the 3D contour, anterior projection, and volume of the cheeks.
Facial changes that occur with age can be described as shrinkage, downward migration, and shrinkage or fat atrophy in our cheeks that produce the fat "apples" of our cheeks. Loss of cheek volume is usually associated with thin, dry skin due to loss of elasticity and a highly organized pattern of collagen and elastic fibers. This causes dark colors and improper wrinkles under the eyes, often known as eye bags. The mentioned changes cause the skin to sag and loosen. The side view of the face is also smoothed due to the reduction of the cheeks. If you are experiencing these changes and want to intervene, a cheek augmentation procedure may be right for you. Young people may also benefit from cheek augmentation. This can be done to improve symmetry, correct congenital or acquired abnormalities, or enhance facial beauty. Increased anterior protrusion of the cheek is associated with beauty and youth. Interestingly, fat pads in this area, the anterior malarial fat pads, respond to estrogen, and their volume increases in the presence of an increase in estrogen concentration .
Injection Fillers:
Temporary fillers such as hyaluronic acid-based fillers can be used. Permanent fillers such as autologous fats may also be used as fillers
Cheek Implants:
Implants are usually made of synthetic materials such as silicone or gortex. Your plastic surgeon will customize your treatment plan, depending on your aesthetic and anatomical goals.
The first step in any surgery is anesthesia. Depending on your cheek surgery, your preference, and especially your doctor's recommendation, you may receive general anesthesia, local anesthesia, or intravenous (IV) sedation. After prescribing anesthesia, the surgeon makes the necessary incisions. If you are using a cheek implant, there are two options for implant placement. Some surgeons prefer intraoral incisions that are made inside the mouth and leave no visible scar after healing. Others choose external incisions that are placed under the lower eyelid. The implants are then placed under the skin through incisions and fixed with a micro-screw if needed. Finally, the incisions are closed with sutures, glue or tape. If the fat transfer method is used to enlarge the cheeks, small incisions will be made in the areas where the fat is to be removed. After fat suction, it is purified using a centrifuge and injected into the cheeks using a thin cannula. The incisions made on the liposuction site and the cheeks are very small and do not leave a visible scar after healing. The non-surgical filler injection method involves injecting dermal fillers under the skin using a syringe. All types of cheek augmentation surgeries are performed on an outpatient basis, meaning you don’t need to stay in hospital overnight. They can be done in a hospital or a clinic and doctor’s office with surgical facilities .
You should quit smoking a few weeks before surgery because it can disrupt the healing process. You should also stop taking certain medications, such as anti-inflammatory drugs and herbal supplements, as they can also increase the risk of bleeding during surgery. A preoperative consultation is an important pre-surgery step in which the surgeon discusses with you a variety of issues, including potential risks and expected outcomes. In the counseling session, be sure to ask him all your questions. Your doctor may ask you to perform certain medical tests and evaluations .
Possible complications associated with facial implants may include, but are not limited to, the following:
As with any operation, an infection can occur. If this happens, the
patient is given antibiotics to clear up the infection. If the infection
does not resolve, then the implant may have to be temporarily removed
and replaced at a later time. A facial implant could move slightly out of alignment, with a second
operation becoming necessary to reposition it in its proper place.
