Thanks to delicate tissue repositioning, Iryna Pradosh smoothed the cheekbone area and restored freshness to the face.
Repositioning and fixing the malar fat pads evened out the contours and softly reduced the nasolabial folds. Precise work with the tissues restored natural volume to the cheekbones and a defined, neat contour. The changes look light and harmonious: the face appears fresh and rested, while facial expressions remain completely natural.
Patient's Request
The patient came in because of pronounced malar (cheekbone) puffiness, which made her face look tired and downcast no matter how much she rested. The main goal was to smooth the cheekbone area, reduce the depth of the nasolabial folds and restore firm contours. It was essential for her to eliminate irregularities and sagging while fully preserving her facial expressions, aesthetic harmony and the natural suppleness of her skin.
Diagnosis and Surgical Plan
During the consultation, Iryna Pradosh assessed the depth of the malar fat pads, periosteal tone and the elasticity of the overlying tissues. Based on the examination, the following surgical approach was developed:
- Pre-operative marking and determination of the lifting vector for the fat structures;
- An inconspicuous micro-incision in the temple area or through the mouth;
- Mobilization and repositioning of the malar fat into a higher, natural position;
- Fixation of the tissues to the periosteum for a stable, long-lasting effect;
- Smoothing the contour and evening out the transition from the cheekbones to the nasolabial area;
- Precise cosmetic sutures with microsurgical threads.
Result
After recovery, the cheekbone area and the surrounding zones took on a perfectly smooth, harmonious look.
- Malar bags and cheekbone puffiness completely eliminated;
- A smooth, even and firm cheekbone contour;
