aniati Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Hi everyone, I have flat front cheekbones and am interested in getting cheek implants. I've been looking at clinics that offer the procedure such as View or TLPS. However, it's hard to find before/after pictures of that procedure or testimonials. There seem to be lots of complications related to the procedure when I look at reviews on Realself, however it seems more like the doctors wern't specialists in the procedure. I've also considered fat grafting but since the issue is related to my bone structure Could anyone share their experiences if you had this procedure done? .All help is much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frangranceaddict Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 My friend got fat graft. not silicone. It is much more natural. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gats Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Interested in this as well. Asians typically have flat face which would benefit by adding more forward dimension and definition to it. If cheekbone implants were the answer I think we'd see many before/after pics which demonstrate the improvement, so I think the lack of finding such pics shows there's not a good solution for this now. Fat graft can add general volume but you can't get that defined model cheekbone look from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amali9099 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Does that work if you don't have enough bone structure? My understanding that the reason that higher cheekboned people age slower is because there is structure that helps the face fat sag less..... I hope someone continues this thread. There aren't enough pictures of successful cheek implants here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madambutterfly89 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Which is why I'm not getting cheek implants and need bone grafting to push my cheekbones back out. Cheek reduction does cause facial laxity no matter what. You lose the natural adhesion and lateral structure that the face looks fuller especially the jaw. Thnisbtype of surgery should be banned. I wish I could've tried Botox before doing something so stupid hat has caused so much distressed. I basically paid to have the surgeon aged me faster.

amali9099 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Wow. The bone grafting sounds really interesting. Given that PS usually tends to involve bone reduction and there are therefore few results to go by, where are you going to get this done and why? (.... I am dying to augment my submalar/orbital rim area because I just don"t have much volume there and curious to see what others are doing. I was thinking about Bryan Mendelson in Australia but he might be out of my price range (still trying to find out)....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madambutterfly89 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Bryan mendohson I heard was very arrogant and a dick. That is just what I heard so not sure . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madambutterfly89 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Yes they can take bone from your skull or illiac to augment to cheekbones. I had cheekbone reduction in the past which change my face not for the better. So now need back be to help repair what's been done. These surgeons can either change your life or destroy it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aniati Posted September 7, 2018 Author Share Posted September 7, 2018 I'll probably consider that option as it seems less risky. Where did your friend get it done? How long did it last? I've heard it can dissolve itself fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amali9099 Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 True words! So where are you looking at for cheek augmentation? I was born with less cheekbones so I am interested in the procedure too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juliejulz Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I have the exact issue, my fcae lacks any sort of strong facial bones and i heard about Zygomatic Sandwich surgery but was wondering if Dr can take jaw bone and put it in cheeks, is that possible ? Do you have any updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
