When is it necessary to carry out the procedure of contour plasty of cheekbones?

Indications for correcting the cheekbones are:

  • Injury of the face.
  • Heredity is a type of face with weakly expressed cheekbones.
  • Skin hanging in the area of the cheekbones, as a result of which the entire face oval changes.
  • Visually "failed" cheeks.
  • Clearly pronounced, tear marks are visible.
  • Age changes in the skin, flabbiness, loss of skin elasticity.

Many women try to solve such problems with the help of make-up, which gives a temporary effect, but it is much more expedient to contact a beautician and get real help. The result after the procedure will not only please the lady, it lasts from 8 to 12 months, provided the correct technique of introducing the filler and its kind. If the skin condition and type of face requires more cardinal measures and the use of complex techniques, the effect can last up to 5 years.

The contour correction of the cheeks, the cleavage is carried out in various ways: 

  1. Liposculpture.
  2. Introduction of bio-implants.
  3. Introduction of fillers.

Each method has its own advantages and features, but the most safe and painless, no less effective and effective, is the injection technique. Subcutaneous introduction of fillers produced on the basis of hyaluronic acid, make it possible to form the desired volume of cheekbones, improve the overall oval of the face. For such a procedure, training is almost not required, it is done on an outpatient basis and does not entail traditional post-surgical complications in the form of edema, skin hyperemia.

How is the contouring of the cheekbones carried out?

Depending on the desired result, age of the client, skin condition, injections correction of the cheekbones can be performed using subdermal (under the skin) or dermal (in the middle layer of the dermis) drug administration. Filler is a biologically compatible substance with skin structures based on hyaluronic acid or collagen. The injected preparations have hydrophilic properties, that is, they are capable of attracting liquid in deep layers of soft tissues, moreover, fillers can retain natural "moisture" for a long period, due to which the desired volume and relief of cheekbones are created. The hydrophilic preparation collects water molecules in the intercellular matrix, which gradually accumulate there. As soon as the necessary amount of liquid is collected in the area of the cheekbone, natural smoothing, stretching of the skin, and activation of the neocollagenesis process occur.

What are the features of the procedure for contour plasty of cheekbones?

One should not rely on the long-term effect of the procedure, the result will be noticeable at once, but it will not be possible to retain it for more than one year. This is due to the fact that fillers are absorbed by the tissues of the face as almost "native", therefore, are subjected to natural fermentation, and with time will be removed from the area of plastic and from the body. Exceptions are unlikely, although it happens that the effect of correction lasts up to a year and a half, which is due to the high ability of the skin to trigger independent recovery processes and increased production of its own collagen, hyaluronic acid. This nuance can not be considered a disadvantage of injection procedures, since the plastic is safe, and it can be repeated after complete resorption of the drug. In addition, if a woman is not very happy with the result or wishes to change her face according to the rapidly changing fashion, she will always be able to fulfill her dream in a year.

What rule should I follow after the procedure? 

  • Within 2 weeks a sauna, a bath, swimming in the pool, a solarium, sunbathing under the sun's rays are forbidden.
  • During the first day, do not apply on the face of the usual cream or gel.
  • The doctor will give advice on how to handle cheekbones after the procedure, but as a rule, a person does not require any specific care, except for compliance with personal hygiene rules.
  • Do not touch the injection zone with your hands, do not crush, feel, and, in principle, rarely touch your face within 24 hours.
