It describes the operation performed in the area between the mid-face and the cheeks and cheekbones.
When we examine the babies' faces, we can observe that the cheeks are full and tight at the level of the cheekbones
. Such full and firm cheeks are an expression of youth. During the process, the cheeks sag downwards due to the effects of gravity and aging. So much so that this sagging may become so obvious that it reveals the cheekbones. Moreover, these sagging tissues create a fullness at the bottom, at the mouth level
.
On a young and dynamic face, there is a protrusion at the level of the cheekbones and a depression at the mouth level
It is necessary. You can compare it to a pear standing on its stem. In other words, the lower part becomes fuller as the upper tissues
come down.
What is Done in the Surgery?
The surgery has many technical details. Briefly, this process is; It can be called flipping the pear
. The sagging tissues are lifted up and the fullness on the cheekbones is restored. This also reduces the expansion at the bottom and changes the facial form.
Since the cuts are made only inside the mouth, where your upper lip ends, and inside the scalp,
there is no There is no trace left. Muscles, fat packages and membranes are prepared one by one with cameras and special tools and moved to their places where they were in their 20s. Everything is done deep down and can only be seen with a camera.
A rich fat-implant obtained from cells can be used for the mid-face and zygoma.
Look at your face in the mirror at a 45 degree angle. Under normal circumstances, the ideal look is to have your cheekbones high, at mouth level, and your cheeks as inward as possible. If these proportions are reversed, that is, if your cheeks are prominent but your cheekbones are flat, this surgery may be suitable for you. In summary, this surgical procedure has no direct interaction with age.
Complications and Possible Problems
There is almost no possibility of serious bleeding after this surgery. Small blood accumulations that may occur (hematoma) may also cause serious problems.
Infection is one of the complications that may occur after this surgery. Since almost half of the surgery is performed inside the mouth, there is always the possibility of catching germs from there. In cases where there is inflammation
In addition to antibiotic treatment, it may sometimes be necessary to relieve the inflammation surgically. However, such
infections heal quickly if they are treated correctly.
In this surgery, one of the stitches that suspend the tissues may not do its job properly, which may cause asymmetry. In this case, these stitches may need to be placed again.
Loss of sensation is also an expected problem after this surgery. Any loss of sensation in the upper lip and forehead will usually disappear after a few weeks.
It is almost impossible to give absolute information about the duration of the operation. Of course
What kind of life you live in the following years is also an important factor. The changes that will occur on your face with this surgery are permanent. For example, your cheeks that hang up will always remain high. However, you
will continue to age and new signs of aging will appear on your face. But this surgery will make you look younger and fresher than you have ever been.
Tips:
If you lift your cheeks with your hand in the mirror, you will be misleading yourself. With this movement, you also stretch your skin
. However, endoscopic surgery is performed deeper and does not stretch the skin too much. Just try to think that the underlying
fullness will be displaced upward. There is no hand movement with which you can fully experience this effect.
If you are over the age of 50, you may be recommended to have a classic face lift surgery along with this surgery. Excess and sagging skin on the face will continue after a single endoscopic surgery.
The effect of this surgery lasts for a very long time. Your cheeks will continue to sag where they left off
but do not be afraid that they will return to their previous state.
