Facial Cosmetic Surgeries
Cheiloplasty:
Cheek Augmentation
To augment the cheeks, a plastic surgeon may place a solid implant over the cheekbone. Injections with the patients' own fat or a soft tissue filler, like Restylane, are also popular. Rarely, various cuts to the zygomatic bone (cheekbone) may be performed. Cheek augmentation is commonly combined with other procedures, such as a face lift or chin augmentation.
Cheek implants can be made of a variety of materials like silicone, high-density porous polyethylene, marketed as Medpor, and ePTFE (expanded polytetrafluoroethylene), better known as Gore-Tex.
Cheek Implants
Elevating the cheekbones gives the face a new sense of symmetry as well as elevates all of the other features of the face so that they look more youthful.
Chin Implants and Augmentation
Chin augmentation using surgical implants can alter the underlying structure of the face, providing better balance to the facial features. This operation is often, but not always, performed at the time of rhinoplasty to help balance the facial proportions. Chin augmentation may be achieved by manipulation of the jaw bone (mandible) and augmentation utilizing this technique usually provides a more dramatic correction than with the use of prosthetic implants.
Facial Asymmetry :
Sometimes there irreularities or depression on the fae due to infections or since birth. It is ussually improved with patients own fat cells or fillers injection. If the asymentry is measured then bony surgery or bone grafts or implants are used.
