The cheekbones are one of the most important areas of the face in terms of aesthetic perception. People with healthy, harmonious cheekbone configurations are usually perceived as more vital, youthful and full of life. Reduced cheekbones, on the other hand, make you look tired, even if you don't feel like it. With the help of special techniques to optimize the volume of the cheekbones, you can achieve an optimal appearance of the cheekbones and thus of the face.
If you notice sagging or sunken cheeks on your face, this may be the reason why those around you perceive you as tired, even if you don't feel that way. Flat mid faces, which are caused by insufficient cheekbone volume, can be surgically augmented very well, so that you can achieve a significant change in your facial aesthetics with virtually no complications.
The operation is performed on an outpatient basis so that you can return to your usual home environment on the same day. The procedure is performed intraorally, so no external scars will be visible. The stitches used are usually dissolvable, so they are only removed if necessary. The operation is performed with the support of a specialist anesthetist, as general anesthesia is usually advisable.
We use a wide variety of materials for cheekbone inlays, which we will discuss with you in detail, as there is no universal solution for every facial configuration, but each procedure is individually tailored to the cheekbone anatomy.
The patient is initially given antibiotics and pain medication for the immediate post-operative course. These are usually necessary for a few days, as this is a procedure with very few complications if it is performed by a specialist facial plastic surgeon. The swelling usually lasts a few days and can be treated very well with decongestants and special behavioral techniques.
