35-44 year old woman treated with Cheek Augmentation

38 year old African-American female who underwent Cheek Augmentation surgery and Revision Rhinoplasty with Dr. Slupchynskyj. Patient was complaining of roundness and lack of definition in her cheeks. Dr. Slupchynskyj placed large Submalar implants in the cheek areas resulting in elevation and more contour and definition to her cheeks. This patient also had Revision Rhinoplasty surgery. She undergone a previous Rhinoplasty by another surgeon where a standard silicone implant was utilized in an attempt to raise the bridge. The implant resulted in adding more bulk to her nasal bridge as well as creating a Pollybeak Deformity to the lower third of the nose. Dr. Slupchynskyj used an open rhinoplasty approach, replacing the old implant with a custom carved silastic implant that elevated the bridge and naso-frontal angle. The pollybeak deformity was corrected. Bulbosity in the nasal tip was revised by removing excess fatty tissue as well as scar tissue under the nasal tip skin. Multiple cartilage grafts were used to reconstruct the nasal tip and restore adequate projection and rotation. The Cheek Augmentation and Revision Rhinoplasty procedures helped to restore facial symmetry and harmony among all her facial features.
