Is it possible to get a elevated cheek bone face? I recently observed a case of face plastic surgery in Pittsburgh.
Although drooping eye lids and wrinkles can give an old appearance, they may not be the only cause for giving away the aged appearance. Interest for Plastic surgery in Pittsburgh has increased in the recent times. A study in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (PRS), the official medical journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), found that as we age, the lower jaw continues to grow, creating a more square jaw line, in due course making people appear older.
According to that survey, the lower jaw can play a very essential role in perception of a young face. Studies indicate the more globular the jaw the younger they look.
The authors studied radiographic images of 16 participants (eight men and eight women) taken at youth (mean age 16 years old) and maturity (mean age 56 years old). That survey indicated that the lower jaw grew squared shaped with age.
According to the work, soft-tissue procedures, such as a faciallift, can make the illusion of a smaller lower jaw and may raise a more young appearance.
Statistics show more than 100,000 face lift sugeries are performed per year.
Not only are cheeks essential to our face structure- they have become key to the American concept of beauty. Not only does rejuvenating or returning volume to this fat compartment make the cheek more young, it also improves bulk loss underneath the eyes, and helps eliminate wrinkle lines around the nose and mouth and gives more curl to the upper lip - basically restoring a youthful appearance to the overall face. In plastic surgery, both lifting as well as adding volume can be persued. Restoring mass to deep cheek fat will affect other areas of the face helping better treat face aging.
In a cadaver survey, colored liquid was injected to study the areas of the cheek compartmment to better infer the structure of the face to be modified. Latex injected in the different compartments helped locate the below areas of the face- the muscles, bones and fatty tissue. Three extra fat compartments in the face were also identified in this study.
According to the study, volume loss to the deep cheek fat compartment leads to "hollowing" of the face. That study showed deep face fat when lost could gived an aged look, When volume was restored deep within the cheek, either by using fat, tissue fillers or an implant, improvement in the hollowing of the face became apparent immediately. Finally, when the injection was done correctly into the fat compartment, a smaller volume of fat or filler was required, the work noted.
The study authors concluded that many other compartments of fat remain to be identified in the face and human body. This and similar studies showed adding volume to certain face compartments resulted in better youthful appearance.
Cheek implants have been increacing recently, In 2007 about 7000+ such face plastic surgeries were conducted. In addition, around 47,000 fat injections and 1.1 million injections with hyaluronic acid fillers were performed last year.
One way is by cheek implant surgery to get high cheek bones. Facial asymmetry and low cheek bones could be good candidates for face plastic surgery. typically the procedure is done on an outpatient basis under local or general anesthesia. A small incision is made either under the upper lip, in the lower eyelid, or in the hairline, and a pre-shaped implant is placed next to the bone.
We must also bear in mind that non-surgical procedures such has facial filler can aslo be considered before leaping into cosmetic surgery. Facial dermal fillers such as collagan, hyaluronicacid, fatty tissues and various other safe substances can be injected to improve face contours. Facial injectable fillers add bulk to areas and regions thus giving a decent desired contour.
