Sunken cheeks are a phenomenon in which the facial contours are not full enough and the facial muscles are not full enough. This can make a person look old, emaciated, and even give a sense of illness. In order to improve the problem of sunken cheeks, many people choose to undergo filler surgery. Fillers are indispensable materials in filler surgery, and choosing the right filler material is crucial to the outcome of the surgery. So, what material is good for cheek hollow filling?Let's take a look at this question.
First of all, we need to clarify the purpose of cheek hollow filler surgery. The goal of filler surgery is to improve the appearance and rejuvenation of the face by making the facial contours fuller and the muscles fuller. Therefore, the choice of filler material should be determined according to whether it can achieve this purpose.
At present, the commonly used filler materials on the market include autologous fat, hyaluronic acid, collagen, etc. Each of these materials has its own advantages and disadvantages, which we will analyze one by one below.
Autologous fat is an ideal filler material. It is ** on its own, no rejection reaction, the effect is long-lasting, and ** is relatively low. Autologous fat grafting surgery is simple, less invasive, and has a quick recovery, making it suitable for all degrees of cheek depression. However, there is also an absorption rate for autologous fat grafting, which may require multiple injections to achieve the desired results.
Hyaluronic acid is a natural polysaccharide that is found in the human body, so the results are natural and traceless after injection. The filler effect lasts for about 6-12 months and is suitable for mild to moderate cheek hollowing. However, fillers require regular injections and are relatively high, which may not be convenient for some people.
Collagen is a high-molecular weight protein with good biocompatibility and bioactivity, which can promote cell growth and repair. The collagen filler facial effect lasts for about 6-12 months and is suitable for mild to moderate cheek hollowing. However, collagen fillers also carry a certain risk of allergies, and indications need to be carefully selected.
In addition to the above common filling materials, there are some other materials such as PMMA microspheres, PTFE expanded polymers, etc., which are also used for cheek depression filling. Each of these materials has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the scope of application is also different, which needs to be selected according to the specific situation of the patient and the doctor's recommendation.
In conclusion, choosing the right filler material is crucial to the results of cheek hollow filler surgery. When choosing a filling material, it is necessary to consider factors such as the specific situation of the patient, the doctor's recommendation, and the characteristics of the material. At the same time, it is necessary to choose a regular medical institution and a professional doctor to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the surgery.
