There are Minimal Risks Involved with Cheek Augmentation Surgery Vancouver

These days plastic and cosmetic surgery are everyday occurrences, both elective and those for things such as reconstruction after accidents or illnesses. Although these procedures are carried out all the time people need to remember that there is always a risk when surgery is involved, no matter how small. The good thing is that the risks involved with such things as cheek augmentation surgery Vancouver, or wherever, are minimal.

The cheek augmentation procedure Vancouver, and in all the other places, is one which is becoming more and more popular these days as a way to continue looking young. The shape of your face and the balance of your features rely on your facial skeleton and the soft tissues that lie over it. A lack of aesthetic balance of your facial features is attributed to inadequate tissue development, a concern that can be corrected with facial implants, a form of cheek augmentation surgery.

Facial implants for the cheek, chin, and jaw are designed to permanently enhance your facial skeleton three dimensionally. Made from solid biocompatible materials like medical-grade silicone, they give sharper definition to your bone structure so that you can enjoy an improved aesthetic harmony of your features.

Cheek augmentation procedure is a cosmetic surgical procedure that is intended to emphasize the cheeks on a person's face. To augment the cheeks, a plastic surgeon may place a solid implant over the cheekbone. Injections with the patients' own fat or a soft tissue filler, like Restylane, are also popular. Rarely, various cuts to the cheekbone may be performed. Cheek augmentation is commonly combined with other procedures, such as a face lift or chin augmentation. Cheek implants can be made of a variety of materials. The most common material is solid silicone.

Risks

As with any surgery there is a risk of infection, postoperative bleeding, formation of a blood clot, and severe swelling. Asymmetry is a risk with all forms of cheek augmentation Vancouver, and elsewhere. This can occur due to uneven resorption, implant displacement, or shifting. This shift can happen due to swelling, trauma or scarring. Although a temporary loss of sensation is common, an extended loss of sensation can occur with any surgery, especially cosmetic plastic surgery.

Some people are lucky enough to have a fantastic bone structure and for these people the idea of cheek augmentation surgery is ridiculous. My mother is one of these lucky ones and although she is now in her seventies, I must admit that thanks to her great cheekbones she looks at least ten years younger.

The sad news is that her children do not seem to have inherited this amazing bone structure, nor I must admit many other of her great qualities! This means that at this moment my sister is seriously considering going for a cheek augmentation procedure Vancouver and is looking into the various options. She is also looking for a reliable surgeon who will be able to guide her as also one who will point out any negative points and risks involved.
