The price includes your preoperative assessment, the evaluation consultation, the surgery, the implants, your follow-up appointments and a follow-up ultrasound.
Yes. After cheekbone surgery, we do an ultrasound to check the condition and position of the implants.
The risk with this approach is infection of the implant, which may mean we have to remove it. The stitches dissolve on their own. If one is still bothering you, we can take it out at a follow-up appointment.
Yes. Cheekbone surgery and eyelid surgery can be done in the same operation.
About eyelid surgeryNot in the long term. Dermal fillers, done in the office, lift the cheekbones, but the body gradually absorbs the product and you need repeat injections. A cheek implant, on the other hand, stays in place.
About dermal fillersYes. The implant is placed in the same way in aesthetic cheekbone surgery as in cheekbone feminization. In feminization, it is one of several procedures that give the face a more feminine, triangular shape.
