Younger patients who seek a Los Angeles cheek
implant surgery normally do so in order to create a more
angular appearance, while older patients may be looking
to restore the loss of facial volume that occurs naturally
as a result of the aging process as well as maybe tightening
any flaccid skin.
Los Angeles cheek implant surgery procedures normally take
an average of 30 to 45 minutes with the use of local or
general anesthesia. During the procedure cheek implants
are usually inserted through a tiny incision inside the
mouth and placed directly on or below the cheek bone. Sutures
will dissolve within a matter of days – usually 7
to 10 days – following the Los Angeles cheek implant
surgery.
This surgery can be also performed in combination with
other facial surgeries such as eyelid
surgery or a facelift.
If you are considering a Los Angeles cheek implant surgery,
we would encourage you to meet with one of our Los Angeles
board certified plastic surgeons for a free consultation
to discuss your options for a Los Angeles cheek implant
surgery.
Meeting with one of our Los Angeles plastic surgeons will
allow you to get detailed information about the procedure
you are considering, such as the risks and benefits involved,
the costs, type of anesthesia used and recovery period,
and is a great opportunity to address any concerns or questions
you may have about the Los Angeles cheek implant surgery. |
