Good looks are important for everyone. Facial expressions matter at all times. The shape of cheeks influences on both look and facial expression. The most common issues are sunken cheeks and the visual disappearance of cheekbones. Unfortunately, those defects can’t be hidden under any make-up. Sunken cheeks make face to look flat and unattractive. Silicone implants will definitely help cheeks to look more alive and more natural. Treatment is perfect for patients who have got sharp feature and sunken (or bony) cheeks. Perfect health is an important factor to be qualified to cheek correction. The most common tests include ECG, uroscopy, and HIV test but all clinics have their own rules and procedures. Silicone implants are suitable for everyone who is ready for permanent change.
The silicon injection surgery takes 30-45 minutes and is being done on local anesthesia. In special cases, doctors prefer to use general anesthesia. It is, however, advised to take some actions before anesthesia. Doctors do not recommend to drink and to eat for 6-8 hours before the treatment. Pre-treatment diet has many different forms. That is why it is always a good idea to ask an anesthetist for guidance. It is plausible to drink sweet tea, bitter tea and apple juice. But it is vital to remember that patient’s last drink is allowed to take place, at the latest, 3 hours before the treatment. Patient should remember to avoid drinking sodas, kefirs and yoghurts. The last cigarette is permitted no sooner than 6 hours prior to the procedure. A bra, a watch and an engagement ring as well as glasses, eye-contacts, earrings, rings, necklaces, and socks should be taken off before the treatment while make-up and nail polish are to be removed.
Cheek Implants surgery can be combined with forehead lift, face lift and eyelid correction. If such combination is included, implants can be injected through cuts, initially made for lifting. If the cheek correction is a single treatment, cuts are made through upper lip or lower eyelid. Then, surgeon forms a skin pocket in order to inject a silicone implant. After the implementation is over, wounds are covered with special bandages. Stitches reside inside the eyelid or the lip. They heal idiosyncratically, approximately 10 days after the treatment.
Patients face gets a brand new look. Perfectly-shaped cheeks indirectly improve other elements of ones face. Post-treatment face is more alluring and doesn’t seem to be bony anymore. In result of the newly-injected implants, the skin is stretched and appeared to look younger.
After-treatment runs smoothly. Patient is guided by the surgeon how to take a proper care of the face. Healing process takes around a week. Within that week, affected spots should be eased by ice-packs. In addition, facial play, along with leaning forward, should be limited for 4-7 days. Straight after the treatment, biting and chewing may be difficult while swelling and redness may appear on facial parts.
It is important to mention that implant injection is considered very safe. Nevertheless, in some specific cases, there is a risk involved. The implant can possibly move or turn around, infection can emerge and the face may deform. But if the treatment is done by a professional, first-class surgeon, all probable side effects ought to be ruled out.
