Cheekbone
Augmentation
This procedure is a very interesting and sometimes essential
modality to recontour part of the upper face giving
it a more triangular appearance. Along with face and
neck lifts, a well as blepharoplasty . . . enhancing
the prominence of the cheekbones produces an extraordinarily
aesthetic effect that is received in a most positive
fashion by nearly all patients. We have been very happy
at The Pavilion for Cosmetic Surgery with our patient
response.
Essentially,
there are two methods, which can be employed to augment
or enlarge the cheekbones. The first is by an implant
usually made of a hardened acrylic substance that is
placed in through the mouth and on each side. Although,
we have used this method many, many times in the past,
we are now refraining from its employment because of
a second alternative procedure we have been employing
with very positive results. Namely, what we now do is
remove some unwanted fat from one portion of your body
. . . then centrifuge it and enhance the cheekbones
on both sides through fat injection from your own body.
This has produced a very welcomed response from our
patients and we are thrilled with the results.
