chinnie Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I definitely think if you have a significant amount of bone removed your cheeks will sag to some degree, also because of changes in muscles. Healing is just as important as the surgery too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinnie Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Could be swelling but possibly loss of muscle tone, also trauma can cause fat cells to die Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubledoubles Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Hey Touni - I read up a lot about this too. I was wondering if there's any information about mid face (pre-maxillar) implant to remove sagging from nasolabeal folds in cheeks by bringing out the mid face? or 2 jaw surgery to bring out the maxillary jaw to create protrusion? I've been told by TFD that nasolobeal folds are caused by 2 sources, protruded cheeks in relation to the mid face, and a protruded maxilar in relation to the mid face. I'm honestly confused about how the maxilar impacts the nasolobeal folds if its 'protruded'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassyqt Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I suspect it's a combination of how skilled the doctor is, age (skin elasticity snaps back faster in younger patients), and how long the facial contouring compression band was used for. If, the patient did not use the compression band often enough, the severed tendons would not reattach to the bone properly. Hence, sagging would occur.

touni27 Posted October 2, 2018 Author Share Posted October 2, 2018 Maybe it's the shadow that it creates? I kind of have it. My front cheekbones are quite protruded out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missorange Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Hi @doublesdoubles, I would not recommend gortex premaxilla implants. I had them twice in the uk, the second one a bigger one as it seemed to get smaller over time or maybe it was my maxilla bone. It got infected after 6 years with pus pouring into my mouth. I had it removed and relied on radiesse dermal fillers in the nasolabial folds but this blocks a natural smile with teeth show. What tfd said is interesting as I noticed I still have a lot of filler on the right and yet the nasolabial fold is deeper! The left side filler is almost all gone and my smile looks nice and natural on this side. I think the bullhorn lip lift has filled up my sunken premaxilla space so I may not need nasolabial fillers after all. I am going to be brave and stop fillers to my nasolabial folds. This by theory should make the prominent nasolabial crease on the right disappear after it dissolves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortunecat Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Oh... the SG blogger i mentioned in the other thread who had her breast implants removed, also had her gore-tex chin implant removed as it was infected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheonlylooks25 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 It doesn't IF you do not put on weight. So how disciplined are you? Since forever I had really elegant skinny arms and calves and ankles no matter how fat I got. I had a lot of lipo on tummy and thighs. Of course after a few years, I put the weight back on but guess what I now have big arms and calves to the point that my old knee high boots won't do up any more.

sheonlylooks25 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 This African American girl has a threadlift and full face fat grafting at Regen . I must say she now looks perky and much younger although she wasn't really old before the way she looks now is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

touni27 Posted October 6, 2018 Author Share Posted October 6, 2018 Hey guys, i gathered up some sagging links LOLhttps://www.realself.com/question/sagging-jaw-reduction-surgery-corrected-facelifthttps://www.realself.com/question/los-angeles-ca-loose-skin-after-jaw-surgery-options#https://www.realself.com/question/los-angeles-ca-advice-face-rebalancing-after-jaw-surgery# One of the doctor's answers stood out to me. He said that when he would perform cheekbone fracture corrections with the plates sagging would still occur if they didn't tie in the underlying tissues/skin to the plates.

missorange Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Thanks @touni27 that poor lady in Los Angeles. She had v line surgery with sagging then facelift but that lifted skin and soft tissues up to her cheeks which made her cheeks appear bigger. It is why I hesitate with any lift as my cheekbones are already big and do not wish to draw attention to them. One surgeon's reply is she find an artistic surgeon. Thank goodness I found Dr Seo who in my opinion is an artistic surgeon and based on instagram photos Dr Hong from Fresh seems one too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madambutterfly89 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 What about cheek reduction along with a cheeklift? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missorange Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 That seems like what ladies have to be prepared to do and pay for if they consider zygoma reduction or dramatic v line; the cost then doubles to pay for 2 major procedures not to mention recovery times and how they cope with looking at a sagging face between the 2 operations.
