Cheek Implants in West Hollywood

High, prominent, and full cheekbones are sought after features. Some people of all ages may have less full or altered cheeks. The appearance of cheeks that have been altered due to sagging or a loss of volume to the face can be distressing to many people. Cheek implants can add lift and volume to your face. Oftentimes, ageing people seek ways to give their faces a youthful and soft lift. The desired and achieved effect with this procedure is fuller, more lifted facial features.

Anyone who desires increased projection or fullness in the upper cheek area may be a candidate for cheek implants. Cheek implants may be placed as a stand-alone procedure or combined with other aesthetic or reconstructive surgeries.

In some cases, cheek implants may be used to camouflage defects from previously healed trauma, including fractures of the maxilla (upper jaw bone) and zygoma.

The key to any facial implant surgery is identifying the most appropriate size and shape of the implant – to achieve the greatest aesthetic enhancement, while still looking natural. Dr. Ransom will work closely with you throughout this process.

After any surgery, it is very common to have swelling during the healing process. Depending on your body’s reaction to surgery, staying in the hospital can vary by how many days.

The procedure will be followed by detailed doctors instruction and care information. Sometimes this will include water and food that are safe to consume on the regime that you are assigned. Painkillers will also be offered as a form of pain management after your procedure. When taking any prescribed medication, special care should be taken to follow instructions and warning signs on painkillers. Another pain management solution that can be used is a cold compress. This may also reduce swelling on your cheekbones.

Smoking and doing strenuous activities is not good for the healing process. Another thing to consider when you are healing from your cheek implants is your sleeping patterns. To minimise swelling it is important to keep your head elevated and to sleep facing up. You want to avoid sleeping on your face as this will be healing for many weeks.

The most important part of any cosmetic procedure is to ensure that your surgery is being performed by a skilled and experienced surgeon. Cosmetic surgery should always be performed by a board certified surgeon. The results of great cosmetic surgery can be a permanent solution to an aesthetic problem. Always consult with your doctor on the risks that you may face during a genioplasty .

Do Cheek Implants Lift Face?

The middle third of the face and cheekbones gain volume and contour thanks to cheek implants. These alter the proportions of the middle and lower face rather than actually lifting the skin.

How Are Cheek Implants Inserted?

Where the upper gums meet the cheek, a mouth incision is made to put cheek implants.

How Can I Build Up My Cheeks?

The most typical method of enhancing the cheeks is with cosmetic fillers (hyaluronic acid or calcium hydroxyapatite). Other possibilities include fat grafting, in which fat is extracted from another area of the body and injected as a filler (such the thighs or lower abdomen), or the implantation of facial implants.
