I had my cheekbone reduced and very unhappy with the results. Coronal incision for cheeks and facelift?

Question

If i was to attempt to reposition the cheekbones to the original anatomical position would that require a coronal incision across the scalp? Or is there a less invasive method? If i choose to bypss all that and choose cheek implants, would that help with midface sag or do i still need a coronal incision to lift the muscles back up?Has any doctor here have come across this issues and was able to rectify this? Thank you

Sigh898.     Photos or physical exam would be most helpful. I am not sure what procedure you had done prior, but Coronal incision is usually performed to correct forehead ptosis. Options for your revision include fat grafting, with or without facelift, if needed. Be certain to consult with the boards or plastic surgeon. Best of luck.

I'm not sure which technique was used to reduce your cheekbones. Usually this is done through an incision inside the mouth. This is the same approach replacing cheek implants. Cheek implants can be carved to meet the specific problem you're trying to correct. A coronal incision is mainly for dealing with problems with the eyebrows or forehead
