Cheekbone aesthetics is an aesthetic operation that can be performed for different purposes. When it comes to making the cheekbone for aesthetic purposes, interventions are usually made to enlarge the cheekbone and make it appear higher. In addition, cheekbone surgery can be performed if the cheekbone is broken or too large and protruding compared to the facial features.
The perception of the shape and structure of the cheekbone varies culturally. In Western societies, high and protruding cheekbones are considered a symbol of beauty. It is thought that a more youthful and attractive appearance is obtained with the clarification of the cheekbone. However, this perception decreases and changes as one goes to the east. In Asia, protruding cheekbones are not preferred because they give an aggressive and dominant impression.
Since a thinner and smoother facial line is preferred in Asia, the cheekbone reduction operation, called zygoma reduction or malar reduction, is performed. Basically, this operation differs depending on the perceptions of the people and the cultures they live in.
The main purpose of cheekbone reduction or reduction malarplasty is to reduce the width of the cheekbone. However, in the operation, it is necessary to intervene in the face line in order to make the facial contour more smooth and feminine. In the operation, the cheekbone body is moved according to the facial features of the person and the operation planning and is placed at the determined Maximal Malar Projection point for a smoother appearance.
When planning cheekbone reduction surgery, the chin protrusion, the length and general lines of the face and the shape of the face should be considered. This operation is not suitable for people with thin and long facial features. After the operation, it is expected that the face will appear longer and, accordingly, aesthetic problems will occur. Reduction malarplasty can be planned in combination with chin reduction, forehead augmentation and facial bone shaping operations.
High cheekbones are particularly popular in Western societies. When we look at the reasons behind this, we come across very evolutionary facts. There are studies that lead us to think that high cheekbones are due to high estrogen levels. In addition, high cheekbones are an indicator for many people that make them feel more confident.
It is possible to hear a lot of news about dislocated and/or high cheekbones. Especially in recent years, this aesthetic operation, which is very common among celebrities, is becoming increasingly popular. The aim of cheekbone surgery, which is widely preferred in western societies, is to make the cheekbone more prominent.
When the malar bone or cheekbone is closer to the eye, it is considered high and/or dislocated. To achieve this appearance, aesthetic interventions are needed.
Different techniques can be preferred for this process. When it comes to cheekbone aesthetics, the amount of soft tissue on the cheeks of the person is also important. Techniques used to define the cheekbone are usually fat injection, filling and implant use. At the point of which technique will be preferred, detailed physical examination and the expectations of the person are decisive.
Although the illusion that the cheekbones are more prominent and higher can be created with cosmetic tricks in order for the face to have a good line, that is, contour, it is much more important to provide the same effect with the natural face line. At this point, filling, injection and implant applications come into play.
By using a filling that is very similar to the fillings used in the lips and under the eyes, the cheekbone can be made more prominent and protruding. The filling must be made in the ideal amount. Although it is expected that the overfilled filling may dissolve somewhat, this may not be sufficient, resulting in an undesirable appearance. There are also differences in the techniques used while filling.
The use of micro cannulas during the cheekbone filling helps to determine the points where the filler will be injected, thus minimizing the risk of post-injection complications. The most important advantage of cheekbone filling is that the results can be obtained in the same day. After this application, there is no need for hospitalization, the person can quickly return to his normal life.
After the cheekbone filling, a slight swelling and bruising may occur in the application area. But this is something that will pass in a short time. The effect on the filling application continues between 12 – 24 months. Periodically renewing the filling with small amounts is a good method to increase permanence.
Fat injection is one of the most preferred methods in non-surgical aesthetic applications. This method is preferred both because it responds to body shaping needs and because it is as functional as fillings in terms of application and effect, since it is based on the principle of using the fat tissue taken from the person's own body. In fat injection, fat taken from the stomach, waist, abdomen, thigh or hip region is used.
Fillers used in aesthetic applications today do not cause any complications if they are applied by experts and have FDA-approved ingredients. However, in some very sensitive people, there is a possibility that fat injection may be a better choice instead of filling. Fat injection application in cheekbone aesthetics is two-stage. First of all, planning is made for the removal of adipose tissue from the person's own body. Liposuction is required for this procedure.
Fat is removed through liposuction in the determined donor area. The extracted fats are purified to make them injectable. In the application of oil injection, it is normal for some of the oil injected into the area to be absorbed by the body. For this reason, it is possible for the area to look too full after the first application.
If such an image is not desired after the first application, if the body will not expect the fat to be absorbed by the body, the amount should be kept lower in the first application and one or two sessions of re-injection should be made after absorption. After the application, slight swelling and bruising in both the cheekbones and the donor area where the fat was removed. may occur. Conditions such as bruising, redness or swelling are expected to pass within 48 hours.
In applications known as thread lifting or thread lifting, it is aimed to hang with thread in the area of the cheekbones. Thread suspension methods are generally preferred for the removal of aging-related sagging in the middle, lower or upper face areas.
However, for some faces, thread lifting is a highly preferable technique in cheekbone aesthetics. Especially in case of loss of volume in the cheek area of people who want to have cheekbone aesthetics, a rope suspension and filling can be combined. The yarns, which are preferred in these applications and called PDO, have a barbed structure. Thanks to this structure, when the rope placed in the area is pulled, the skin is recovered and lifted.
After the application, fibrous tissue formation is provided on the side of the PDO threads, which can keep these threads in place and help the tissue to hold. It can be stated that the combination of rope hanger and filler gives much more natural results in cheekbone aesthetics. When it is desired to add volume to the area with just the filling, there is a possibility that the filling application will be excessive. However, thanks to lifting techniques, the amount of filling that needs to be done is reduced.
Implant application is very common in cheekbone aesthetics. The ease of operation, the naturalness and permanence of the obtained image have a great impact on the preference of these applications. When cheekbone aesthetics is performed surgically, it is an operation that takes approximately 1 hour.
In order to create a pocket for the implant, an incision is made under the eye, mouth or cheek area and the implant is placed. Care is taken to ensure that the incisions made to place the implant are at inconspicuous points. If the recovery process is followed by the doctor's recommendations after the operation, no scar is expected. Implant application can be performed under general or local anesthesia.
