CHEEKBONE AUGMENTATION
Everyone can recognize a beautiful face. But do you know what exactly creates this attractiveness? High cheekbones are an important aesthetic factor in this subconscious assessment. Well-defined, prominent cheekbones give your face a charming and youthful appearance.
Enhancing Attractiveness with High Cheekbones
With a cheekbone onlay, sunken or hollow cheeks can be restored. If you have a flat midface structure or a more elongated facial shape, enhancing the cheekbones can make your facial features appear more defined and attractive. .
Thanks to a cheekbone surgery performed through the oral cavity, no visible scars are left behind. The procedure is done under anesthesia on an outpatient basis and is pain-free. Postoperatively, only minimal swelling typically occurs.
The most frequently asked questions
What methods are available for cheekbone augmentation?
There are both non-surgical and surgical methods:
- Fillers: Injections that add volume and tighten the skin, with an effect lasting about 12 months.
- Cheekbone augmentation: Relaxes the muscles to visually enhance the cheekbones, with an effect lasting 3 to 6 months.
- Cheekbone surgery: A permanent procedure that uses biological material, such as lyophilized cartilage, to shape the cheekbones.
Are there visible scars after a cheekbone surgery?
No, the surgical procedures are performed through the oral cavity, so no visible scars are left.
How long does recovery take after a cheekbone surgery?
Most patients are fit to resume daily activities after one week. Swelling usually subsides within a few days, and the final result is visible after a few weeks.
How is the goal of cheekbone augmentation determined?
Before the treatment, a consultation takes place to discuss your goals and preferences. A 3D face scan is used to visualize the planned results, allowing for an individually tailored approach.
What are the benefits of cheekbone augmentation?
Cheekbone augmentation can enhance facial harmony, correct asymmetries, and create a youthful, radiant appearance. Surgical procedures offer permanent results, while non-surgical treatments require regular touch-ups.
Is the treatment painful?
Cheekbone surgery is performed under anesthesia and is therefore painless. Minimally invasive methods with fillers only require local anesthesia and cause hardly any discomfort.
