I am the Dra. Angela Chamorro, Specialist in Aesthetic Medicine, Trichology and Hair Surgery. Active member of SEME and SERECAP.
One of my main goals is to keep you up to date with all the treatments that can provide positive results for the appearance and health of your skin, which is why I will detail below all the information about this wonderful treatment, cheek augmentation with hyaluronic acid.
Why perform a cheek augmentation?
During youth, subcutaneous fat is located mainly in the midface. As time progresses, the supporting structures relax and the subcutaneous fat that gives volume to the cheekbones descends, moving downwards.
This is the reason why marionette lines, nasolabial folds, sagging of the cheeks and malar depression or depression under the lower eyelids appear.
The current Aesthetic Medicine seeks prevention and correction with natural results with minimal invasion. It is for this reason that biocompatible products such as hyaluronic acid or calcium hydroxyapatite are currently used to volumize or project certain areas seeking facial harmony.
How is cheek augmentation performed?
The procedure is simple and does not require rest, anesthesia can be used if the patient wishes, but it is generally not necessary.
It is performed by infiltration with a fine needle on the periosteum (above the bone) to give the projection that is required depending on the case, there are different techniques for the application and this varies depending on the facial physiognomy.
In this type of procedure, two vials of hyaluronic acid are usually applied, one for each cheekbone.
