SURGERY

UNDERSTANDING CHEEK LIFT PROCEDURES

As the aging process advances, cheeks tend to droop and lose volume,
creating a sunken appearance and irregular facial contour. A cheek
lift can restore youthful volume and smooth facial curvature,
addressing these age-related changes effectively.

WHAT IS A CHEEK LIFT?

A cheek lift is a surgical procedure designed to target loose, sagging
cheek tissue by suspending it upward and restoring a more rounded,
youthful facial contour. This procedure can be performed independently
or combined with other facial rejuvenation techniques like
blepharoplasty or facelift surgery.

CHEEK LIFT TECHNIQUES

 	* Deep cheek lift
	* Cheek lift with implant augmentation
	* Targeted midface rejuvenation

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR CHEEK LIFT

Patients considering a cheek lift may experience the following
concerns:

 	* Cheek sagging
	* Heavy or droopy cheeks
	* Deep nasolabial folds
	* Irregular cheek contour
	* Sunken or flat cheeks

PROCEDURE DETAILS

Cheek lifts are typically performed under general anesthesia or IV
sedation as an outpatient procedure. The surgery usually takes 2-3
hours, with incisions strategically placed to minimize visible
scarring. Dr. Ort uses advanced techniques to suspend cheek tissue and
create a smooth, natural-looking result.

NON-SURGICAL ALTERNATIVES

For patients not ready for surgical intervention, cheek fillers offer
a temporary solution to volumize and lift cheeks. These treatments can
last up to two years with periodic maintenance.

RECOVERY EXPECTATIONS

Most patients can return to work or school within a few days after the
procedure. Swelling gradually decreases over weeks to months. Patients
receive comprehensive post-operative instructions to ensure optimal
healing and results.

SURGERY

UNDERSTANDING BUCCAL FAT REMOVAL

Buccal fat pad removal is a specialized surgical procedure designed to
reduce excess facial volume and create more defined cheekbones. This
technique targets the buccal fat pads located in the cheeks, helping
patients achieve a slimmer, more sculpted facial appearance.

WHAT CAUSES CHUBBY CHEEKS?

Chubby cheeks can result from multiple factors, including:

 	* Genetic predisposition
	* Weight gain
	* Natural aging processes
	* Inherited facial structure

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR BUCCAL FAT REDUCTION

The procedure is most suitable for patients with round or fuller
facial features seeking improved facial contours. Candidates should
have realistic expectations and be in good overall health.

PROCEDURE TECHNIQUES

Dr. Yirae Ort employs advanced surgical techniques for buccal fat
reduction, including:

 	* Intraoral incision method (minimal scarring)
	* Facelift-associated removal technique
	* Precise fat pad extraction

POTENTIAL BENEFITS OF BUCCAL FAT REMOVAL

Patients can expect multiple aesthetic improvements, such as:

 	* Enhanced facial definition
	* More sculpted cheekbones
	* Improved facial symmetry
	* Increased self-confidence

PROCEDURE DETAILS

The buccal fat removal procedure typically involves removing excess
fat through a small, strategically placed incision inside the mouth.
The surgery can be performed under local anesthesia, ensuring patient
comfort and minimal downtime.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Most patients experience minimal discomfort and can return to normal
activities within 1-2 days. Some initial swelling is normal and will
subside gradually, revealing refined facial contours.

CHEEK AUGMENTATION BELLEVUE, WA | BELLEVUE PLASTIC SURGEONS MAROSAN
MD, PLLC

OVERVIEW OF CHEEK AUGMENTATION

When cheeks appear deflated without shape, individuals can look older
than their years. Cheek augmentation surgery can restore a younger,
healthier aesthetic by enhancing facial volume and contours.

AUGMENTATION TECHNIQUES

Bellevue Plastic Surgeons offers multiple cheek enhancement methods:

 	* Cheek implants (malar and submalar placement)
	* Injectable fillers
	* Fat grafting techniques

SURGICAL METHODS

SILICONE IMPLANTS

Silicone implants provide a permanent volume solution with
customizable shapes and sizes. Surgeons carefully assess facial
structure to select the most appropriate implant design. These
solid-form implants are safer than gel alternatives and do not risk
leakage.

POROUS POLYETHYLENE IMPLANTS

These implants offer natural contouring by integrating with
surrounding tissue. The porous material allows tissue growth, creating
a more seamless enhancement. However, their integration makes removal
more complex.

FAT GRAFTING

Fat grafting uses the patient's own tissue, harvested through
liposuction and reinjected into cheek areas. This technique provides
natural-looking results and potential skin rejuvenation benefits,
though some fat may be absorbed over time.

HYALURONIC ACID FILLERS

Injectable hyaluronic acid fillers offer a non-surgical solution for
cheek enhancement. These minimally invasive treatments create natural
results lasting 6-12 months, with newer formulations potentially
extending to two years.

PROCEDURE DETAILS

Cheek augmentation is typically performed as an outpatient procedure
under intravenous sedation. The surgery usually takes approximately
one hour, with recovery involving minimal bruising and swelling that
subsides within two weeks.

CANDIDATE CONSIDERATIONS

Ideal candidates seek facial volume restoration, desire improved
facial contours, and have realistic expectations about surgical
outcomes. A comprehensive consultation with Dr. Marosan will determine
the most appropriate enhancement approach.
