Hollowed Cheeks? Consider Cheek Enhancements
If you look in the mirror and want to change a thing or two about your appearance, you are certainly not alone. And as your skin starts to lose elasticity and collagen as you age, you may start to notice even more flaws in your appearance that you would like to change. As an excellent way to enhance your overall look and make your face look a bit more youthful, cheek enhancement surgery is relatively simple. Read on to learn more about cheek enhancement surgery and whether or not it is the right thing for you.
What Is Cheek Enhancement Surgery?
Typically done in conjunction with a facelift, cheek enhancement surgery involves using either fillers, implants, or fat grafts to plump up the cheeks and give you a more chiseled facial appearance. Depending on the method that you and Dr. Derek Steinbacher decide to use for your cheek enhancements, you may have to go under anesthesia. If, however, you decide to do mere injections, you can be in and out of our office in virtually no time at all.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
To determine whether or not you are a suitable candidate for any cosmetic surgery, you will have to undergo a physical exam by your primary care physician to make sure that you are healthy enough. Most candidates for cheek enhancement surgery have a loss of fat in their face due to age and sun damage.
What Are Results Like?
Results from a cheek enhancement vary from patient to patient and depending on what method you use. For instance, if you and Dr. Steinbacher decide to use fillers, your results will only last up to a year. Whereas if you get implants, they will last for several years, if not longer.
If you have started to notice a loss of fat and elasticity in your face, you may want to consider getting a cheek enhancement done by Dr. Steinbacher. If you would like to learn more about this procedure or if you would like to schedule an appointment, contact our office today!
