Cheek implants removed leaving major sagging/stiffness/puffiness, any suggestions?
RealSelf Actual Patient Comment:
32 year old Asian female had multiple cheek implant surgeries and i deeply regret them. I finally took them out 2019 end of the year. now my cheeks are saggy, also stiff and puffy looking. which I suspect is caused by scar tissue. friends and family say my smile is weird, stiff/frozen and I look plastic, even after removal! Some doctors suggest fat inject another suggested endoscopic cheek lift… please help… I look even worse under the sun.
A: I would treat you with a combination of Sculptra (to build your own collagen volume) and either Ulthera or Profound RF to lift your cheeks and nasolabial folds. Fat transfer is okay, but unpredictable. Surgery and lifting may be pre-mature and could lead to unnatural appearance in a young patient. As with any aesthetic treatment it is essential that you select your treating physician carefully based on their experience, training, skill, knowledge, and most importantly their natural artistic vision. Good luck and be well.
