Who may be a candidate?
- Very full cheeks in the mid-face
- A wish to refine the facial contour
- A face with pronounced volume that justifies it
- Realistic expectations of a subtle change
What it offers
- Refines the mid-face when it is well indicated
- A subtle change, not a drastic one
- Planned with future aging in mind
Recovery
Swelling for one to two weeks; a soft diet during the first few days.
Frequently asked questions
Is it suitable for everyone?
No. In thin faces it can accentuate aging; for that reason the indication is careful.
Is it reversible?
No: the tissue that is removed does not grow back, which makes a prudent indication essential.
Is the change very noticeable?
The aim is a subtle refinement of the contour, not a transformation.
You do not need to know which procedure you need.
An evaluation makes it possible to determine what is changing, what is worth preserving and the best option for your case.
