Plastic surgeon Iryna Pradosh accentuated the structure of the face and created well-defined contours.
Removing the buccal fat pads reduced excess roundness in the midface and brought out the cheekbone line. The photo shows a harmonious result: the facial features became more expressive while remaining completely natural.
Patient's Request
The patient, a man, wanted to correct the roundness of the lower and middle parts of his face. His main wish was to remove excess fullness in the cheeks, make his features more defined and emphasize his cheekbones. It was important for him to get a natural result with no visible signs of surgery and a quick recovery.
Diagnosis and Surgical Plan
During the examination, the surgeon assessed tissue density, muscle tone and the volume of the buccal fat pads. Based on the analysis of his anatomy, the following surgical approach was prepared:
- Diagnostic assessment of the position and volume of the buccal fat pads;
- Micro-incisions on the inner surface of the cheeks (inside the mouth);
- Delicate, symmetrical removal of the fat pads;
- Neat intraoral sutures with self-absorbing material;
- Post-operative oral care recommendations.
Result
Once the post-operative swelling had subsided, the facial contour became defined and sculpted. The changes look natural and harmonize with the overall bone structure.
- Cheek volume reduced and puffiness eliminated;
- Clear, expressive cheekbone contours revealed;
- The jawline and facial contour are more defined;
- No marks on the skin at all, since the access was through the mouth;
- A quick recovery allowed an immediate return to his usual lifestyle;
- A stable, long-lasting aesthetic result.
