Midface Augmentation/Cheek Implant


Recommended Posts

@eurasianbeauty Works by projecting recessed maxilla rather than setback the gums. Probably among the few two jaw / aso alternatives for protruding mouth. Usually combined with a forward genio or chin implant as well?

On top of paranasal aka noble (or aristocrat surgery) there is the "cat" or "kitten" surgery which is a subnasal / premaxillary implant at the philitrum area.

Or even a combined version called noble cat surgery. The translations kinda stumped me before I discovered it was literal.

Thanks so much. My case is more of an aesthetic thing. I don't have a jaw issue at all. I saw the results of what the surgeon called a midface augmentation several times and loved it. I am a little peeved that this particular surgeon is calling it something different than what it is known for.

I asked about the cat surgery once, but no one answered. I wanted to make sure it was what I thought it was. I should get some sleep. It took me a while to decipher what the heck he called midface augmentation. actually was.

There's like 4 different terms for the same thing. There's Aristocrat and something that beings with a Y. Oy.

Regen Medical Group did a successful paranasal implant on Blogger qiuqiu from Singapore. She hasn't made any negative comments. bonquiqui.jpg

Sodium said “I've seen people with them and I feel either sometimes the change isn't even that drastic or they end up with that kind of stiff Do Hwe Ji smile. Probably all depends on the thickness of your skin and the size of the implant, since there are big and small paranasal implants.”

A lot of people here have either been unhappy with their paranasal augmentation results because it's changed their smile, or they have removed it altogether

I do feel that my (nasalabial) folds appeared earlier than it should have because I was so obsessed with removing fat from my face. I hear many bad things about the paranasal from it being uncomfortable to risk of it deviating. One surgeon said because I am still young (I am around your age) that a thread lift would be a better for me.

Abstract

Background

Midface concavity is a relatively common facial feature in East Asian populations. Paranasal augmentation is becoming an increasingly popular procedure for patients with mild concavity and normal occlusion. In this study, we evaluate clinical outcomes following a series of paranasal augmentation.

Methods

A retrospective review was performed for patients with Class I occlusion who had undergone bilateral paranasal augmentation using custom-made silicone implants, between October 2005 and September 2013. Patient charts were reviewed for demographic information, concomitant operations, and postoperative complications. Preoperative and postoperative (1-month) photographs were used to evaluate operative outcome.

Results

The review identified a total of 93 patients meeting study criteria. Overall, aesthetic outcomes were satisfactory. Five-millimeter thick silicone implant was used in 81 cases, and the mean augmentation was 4.26 mm for this thickness. Among the 93 patients, 2 patients required immediate implant removal due to discomfort. An additional 3 patients experienced implant migration without any extrusion. Nine patients complained of transient paresthesia, which had resolved by 2 weeks. There were no cases of hematoma or infection. All patients reported improvement in their lateral profile and were pleased at follow-up. Complications that arose postoperatively included 9 cases of numbness in the upper lip and 3 cases of implant migration. All cases yielded satisfactory results without persisting complications. Sensations were fully restored postoperatively after 1 to 2 weeks.
