Non-surgical method of cheekbone correction - contouring


One of the most popular aesthetic medicine procedures is “Jolie Cheekbones”. Once upon a time, such beautification cost a lot of money, was carried out only operationally and had nothing to do with the person of Angelina Jolie.

Today this is an ordinary manipulation with the help of fillers , which is in demand both among young ladies and ladies of Balzac age. Among cosmetologists, this procedure is called cheekbone augmentation.

Popularity of contouring

In the desire to please oneself, the procedure for lip augmentation has long become popular in order to look like the standard of beauty - Angelina Jolie. Then the actress’s fans wanted cheekbones like the Hollywood diva’s.

It was because of them that many exhausted themselves with diets and resorted to removing Bisha's lumps (surgeries). But cosmetologists offer another option - injection modeling of cheekbones using fillers based on various components. Contour plastic helps to change the face, making it more expressive and beautiful. Experts say that it is the cheekbones that shape the perception of the face by other people, but most often they are not expressed and do not protrude as we would like.

Contouring of cheekbones with fillers is, first of all, a correction of age-related changes. With age, tissues begin to undergo gravitational changes - ligaments stretch, the middle third of the face loses volume and becomes flattened, excess tissue appears in the lower third, and wrinkles become more pronounced. Due to injections, the volume returns, the tissues straighten, lift - the face immediately looks fresher and younger. Accordingly, the procedure is not a tribute to fashion, but a necessity if there are indications for the use of fillers.

Who is indicated for cheekbone augmentation?

Women intuitively strive for triangular facial harmony. A young face, whatever its shape, is an inverted triangle, with the chin at the top and the forehead at the base.

Cheekbones emphasize the base, both from the front and in profile.

To look young, you need to have clear, accentuated cheekbones!

With age (or anatomically at a young age), cheekbones may become less pronounced and the shape of an even triangle is lost. This is also aggravated by age-related ptosis – drooping of facial tissues. A striking example of pronounced cheekbones was actress A. Jolie.

Direct indications for the procedure are:

  • facial asymmetry;
  • sunken cheeks;
  • soft tissue ptosis;
  • nasolabial folds;
  • weak cheekbones.

In addition to independently transforming the cheekbone area, cheekbone enlargement allows you to smooth out small nasolabial folds, get rid of eye bags and hollows under the eyes in the lateral areas. The procedure for enlarging the cheekbones is carried out with a needle or cannula using special preparations for facial contouring - fillers.

Photos before and after correction of the zygomatic region

During correction, dense and viscous preparations are used that are able to hold their shape well. The amount of the drug on each side of the face is individual, you can focus on 1-2 ml.

Important! The effect of pronounced cheekbones cannot be achieved with such a “promoted” procedure as “vector lifting!”

The result after the procedure lasts for 9-14 months.

How is cheekbone correction done with fillers?

At the initial appointment, the cosmetologist determines the skin type, identifies existing problems, selects the necessary drug and its dosage. The procedure then includes the following steps:

  1. Cleansing the skin of impurities and residues of decorative cosmetics.
  2. Applying an anesthetic cream to make the procedure as comfortable and pain-free as possible.
  3. Marking. The doctor uses a special pencil to mark the injection site of the drug and the area where it will be distributed. The marks are easily washed off with water after the procedure.
  4. Administration of the drug by injection, distribution under the skin.
  5. Repeated skin cleansing with disinfectants.

At the end, the result is assessed. In some cases, a repeat visit may be required to correct the effect.

The effect of such a correction

Fillers and implants return the face to the appearance it had 10 years ago. More than half of people undergo a similar procedure in order to get rid of nasolabial folds or improve facial contours. Sometimes a person goes under the surgeon’s knife many times, but still does not get the desired result. But if it enlarges the cheekbones, the effect will definitely be there.


The cheekbone correction procedure rejuvenates the patient’s face

Thanks to this procedure, you can achieve the following results:

  • raising the corners of the lips, which removes the sad and dissatisfied expression on the face. This is because increasing the cheekbones moves the corners of the mouth slightly upward;
  • wrinkles around the lips and nose are smoothed out or, at a minimum, become less noticeable, which visually gives a strong rejuvenating effect;
  • the clarity of facial contours increases, ptosis disappears, more than half of the volume rises up, which makes the face more feminine;
  • if before the procedure the face was asymmetrical, this is corrected, which is important after damage to part of the face such as trauma or paralysis.


Many things are corrected after the procedure is completed.

Contraindications for correction

Cheekbone plastic surgery with fillers is contraindicated for:

  • tendency to form keloid scars;
  • pathologies of the blood coagulation system;
  • pregnancy, lactation;
  • HPV infections (human papillomavirus) with the formation of condylomas;
  • oncological diseases;
  • rehabilitation after complex cosmetic procedures and operations;
  • autoimmune diseases;
  • bacterial, viral, fungal skin lesions;
  • temperature rise.

With some contraindications, the procedure is permitted, but after normalization of health, for example, in the presence of fever, during an exacerbation of chronic diseases, acute respiratory viral infections, etc.

Indications

All indications for injection of fillers into the cheekbones are of an aesthetic nature if you have a history of:

  • Inexpressive, smoothed shape of cheekbones of a natural nature;
  • Sunken cheeks due to vigorous weight loss or sagging and sagging skin due to age-related changes;
  • Unevenness of the relief of the cheekbones, due to the consequences of injury or a problem that has arisen after unsuccessful plastic surgery;
  • Asymmetry of cheekbones.

What are the types of fillers?

Cosmetologists use 3 main types:

  1. Synthetic. One of the first, developed back in the 60s. Made from paraffin or silicone base. Their disadvantage is the high probability of allergic reactions, the inability to be excreted on their own, that is, they remain in the body. Under the influence of gravity, they go down over time, leading to facial deformation.
  2. Biosynthetic. After assessing the negative aspects of synthetic drugs, the next generation of fillers was created - a mixture of biological substances and synthetics. The combination gave excellent results and significantly reduced the likelihood of unwanted reactions. The composition may contain calcium hydroxyapatite, collagen, polylactic acid and other components.
  3. Biodegradable. The most sought after and popular group, which is based on hyaluronic acid - a natural substance that is found in many tissues of the body. They rarely cause negative reactions. Among the advantages, it is necessary to highlight their safety, hypoallergenicity, self-resorption and removal from the body naturally. The preparations have the appearance of a dense gel, creating the desired volume without the effect of dripping. The substance is evenly distributed, improves metabolism, activates the production of collagen and elastin, which makes the skin young and elastic. Due to hyaluronic acid, the skin is moisturized as water molecules are attracted.

Our clinic of modern cosmetology “Estelab” uses fillers based on hyaluronic acid or calcium hydroxyapatite for correction. The second drug is chosen for the edematous-deformative type of aging; it does not attract water and does not cause swelling.

How much does the procedure cost?

Cheekbone shaping is carried out in many metropolitan salons and aesthetic medicine clinics. How much it will cost depends on the choice of drug, but not on the volume of administration.

The patient pays the full cost of the syringe with filler, and if the remainder is left, needles are applied in the lip area. Cosmetologists usually use the minimum dosage; after a few days, if the result is unsatisfactory, additional correction is carried out.

The cost of cheekbone augmentation also depends on the prestige of the clinic, qualifications, and experience of the doctor. On average the price is from 20,000 to 40,000 rubles.

Preparations for correction of the zygomatic region

Cosmetologists use the following drugs:

  1. Restylane perlane (Restylane Perlane). Produced by a Swedish pharmaceutical company. Contains: hyaluronic acid, sodium chloride. The products of this manufacturer are of high quality, have undergone numerous studies and are completely safe. The drug has a high level of viscosity, due to which it remains deep in the skin for a long time. Disintegration begins after 6 months, complete elimination - after about a year. Recommended for medium and deep folds, to increase the volume of soft tissues.
  2. Restylane sab q (Restylane Sub-Q). Another product from a previous manufacturer with hyaluronic acid. Used primarily to create volume in the area of ​​the cheeks and cheekbones.
  3. Juvederm voluma (Juvederm Voluma). One of the most popular hyaluronic acid fillers in the USA and Europe. The manufacturer is American, producing products for cosmetology and various branches of medicine. Voluma has a very dense structure compared to other drugs in this line, so it is used only for contouring. The filler is recommended for middle-aged women to replenish the volume of the face in the middle part.
  4. Radiesse. (Radiesse). Developed by the American company BioForm Medical, but owned by the German company. Consists of calcium hydroxyapatite, an aqueous gel carrier. The first component is produced synthetically, but it is completely identical to the substances in human bones and teeth. This ensures its safety and biocompatibility. The drug does not retain water, corrects even deep wrinkles, and replenishes missing volumes.

Aesthetic cosmetology in Moscow

uses only proven drugs that have undergone research and confirmed their safety and effectiveness. The specialist selects the necessary filler, taking into account existing problems, the goals of the procedure, and the client’s wishes.

According to Landau

The marking is also known as “five stars”. When using it, 5 injections are made, which are located on the line of the base of a small triangle. The boundaries of the latter are determined by the cosmetologist individually and taking into account the characteristics of the patient’s face.

Fillers can be injected both at the intersection of Hinderer's lines and in the anatomical middle of the upper zygomatic arch.

Effect after cheekbone augmentation with fillers

Clients notice improvements immediately after the procedure. Some formulations require about a day to smooth out creases at the injection site. General results of contouring:

  • improvement of facial contours;
  • more pronounced, defined cheekbones;
  • smoothing wrinkles;
  • reducing the severity of the nasolacrimal groove (due to raising the cheekbones);
  • increasing skin elasticity and density;
  • improvement of complexion.

The final result can be assessed on average after 2 weeks, which depends on the type of drug.

In what cases do you need to correct your cheekbones?

Although the products for this purpose are relatively safe, it is still better to use them on the recommendation of a specialist. Signs of aging usually begin to appear after a person reaches 25-30 years of age. The most noticeable signs of this process are folds on the forehead and nasolabial wrinkles. Before the age of 30, there is no need to undergo plastic surgery; filler injections will suffice.

Interesting ! But after 35-40 years, if necessary, it is already advisable to go under the knife of a plastic surgeon who uses cheekbone implants.


Much depends on the age of the patient

Here are the indications for working on the cheekbones:

  • sunken cheeks due to age-related decrease in soft tissue tone. This happens because fat moves downward, causing the face to sag;
  • jowls are age-related fat deposits that cause the face to lose its contour clarity. To the right and left of the chin you can see a kind of drooping. Their visibility directly depends on the amount of fat;
  • congenital lack of expression of the cheekbones. A person may be unlucky with the structure of the facial part of the skull; the cheekbones turn out to be non-protruding. Even in his younger years there are no clear protrusions here. During the aging process, the skin in this area becomes thinner;


    If your cheekbones are congenital, you can increase them

  • soft tissue ptosis. In the fifth decade, the epidermis begins to soften and become flabby, which spoils the shape of the face. The contours seem to lower, the face becomes swollen;
  • nasolabial folds, which usually affect those with thin faces. Thin people have thinner skin and wrinkles form faster. And this is the reason for the appearance of vertical grooves near the lips.


You should get rid of nasolabial folds

How long does the effect last?

The duration of the result depends on the metabolic processes in the body and the components in the drug. The duration of action of hyaluronic acid fillers varies from person to person. This substance is present in the body; a special enzyme, hyaluronidase, is responsible for its breakdown. The more active it is, the faster the hyaluronic acid will leave the injection area.

If the enzyme activity is low, then the filler in the cheekbones

will last longer. On average, the effect lasts 6-12 months, dense gels retain the result for 18-24 months. Hyaluronidase can help those clients who do not like the effect - an enzyme can be injected under the skin into the area where the filler is located, it will remove excess gel. Preparations containing calcium hydroxyapatite, unlike those containing hyaluronic acid, have a longer effect - 5 years.

You can repeat the procedure as soon as the effect of the fillers begins to fade. Correction of the cheekbone area can be combined with hardware cosmetology. To get a more pronounced result, Ulthera therapy is recommended for older patients before injections.

. It is necessary to reduce stretched ligaments and tighten tissues. After complex measures, the correction result lasts longer, and subsequently a smaller volume of the drug is required.
