Cheek Enhancement: Facial Implants vs Sculptra

Cheekbone enhancement is becoming a simplified procedure and is an easy way to refresh your look. When done correctly, it can take years off your face without looking too obvious. Cosmetic surgeons are finding that they are using fillers less often to fill in the nasolabial folds and focusing on the cheeks instead. Cheek implants or fillers can help lift the folds near the mouth, creating a smoother more youthful appearance. As we age, excess skin begins to fall toward the jawline causing the cheeks to deflate. The medial fat pad that gives cheeks their height recedes and becomes smaller. Each year, the production of collagen slows, and skin begins to lose its elasticity. There are several options to choose from when it comes to improving the facial contour. Sculptra or cheek implants are a couple of the best choices available.

Sculptra

Sculptra is a dermal filler among many that can address the volume loss in the midface. It is a widely popular treatment used to plump up the cheeks. Fillers are non-invasive and are done in your cosmetic surgeon's office. Sculptra is an excellent option for those who may be leery as they do not produce permanent results. This filler also stimulates your natural production of collagen. It is known as one of the longest-lasting, natural, and softest product in its class. The disadvantage with Sculptra is that you won't see results for at least three months. It also requires that you have a series of 3-4 injections over a period of a month.

Sculptra is FDA-approved and contains no animal by-products. Good candidates for Sculptra are those who are experiencing loss of volume due to weight loss or aging. The average patient is 30 years old and over. Your physician can determine if Sculptra is right for you during a consultation. This filler can be injected into the jawline, chin, temples, chest, and cheeks.

Cheek Implants

If fillers aren't providing you with the results you desire, cheek implants offer you a permanent result. Unlike dermal fillers, this is an invasive procedure that requires surgery and anesthesia. There is also some downtime needed, and you may experience bruising or swelling for a week. Your surgeon will create small incisions inside your mouth resulting in no visible scarring. Cheekbone implants are made from several synthetic materials that can be either rigid or flexible. Many can be customized to fit your unique facial shape and can be easily removed if needed. Complications from having a cheek implant procedure are rare. The main risk is if you have an adverse reaction to the anesthesia. Be sure you let your doctor know if you take antidepressants or smoke cigarettes as those can increase your risk. 


Finding A Plastic Surgeon

To avoid complications with either a cheek implant surgery or a Sculptra treatment, it's important you contact an experienced plastic surgeon. Your results are dependent on who you choose to handle the procedure. Non-surgical cheek enhancement using Sculptra requires an advanced injection technique. Interview your surgeon during the consultation and ask them how many Sculptra enhancements they regularly perform. Most doctors will provide you with before and after photos.
