Hello! I have lines on my face where my cheekbone meets my cheek. My esthetician wants to insert a cannula under the skin in this area and separate two areas (she called it "perforation", but i guess the right english term for this procedure is "subsiction"). She claims that after these manipulations the lines will disappear. I am worried because I cannot find any information about this procedure. Is it even safe?
Answer: HA Filler Cheek Augmentation Can Help Incipient Tear Trough Development Several issues need to be addressed here. First, I have personally been peforming subcisions since 1995 and have literally performed tens of thousands during that time. It is a minimally invasive procedure typically performed using only local anesthesia and best reserved for elevating and smoothing indented scars, such as boxcar and rolling acne scars, as well as indented surgical and traumatic scars. Since it is a medical procedure, it also should be performed by an experienced cosmetic PHYSICIAN. Finally, the kind of tear trough development seen in the one photo provided, typically arises out of volume deficit in the upper cheek. Hence, the use of an appropriately robust HA filler to augment the cheek would not only contour a more feminine, heart-shapped appearance, but would likely secondarily improve the fold that troubles you. You would be wise to seek professional physician care and best of luck.

Answer: Recommend doing Morpheus8 or CO2 to help soften this area and make malar bags less noticeable. Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Melarase AM, Melarase PM, and Melapads can seriously improve surface sun damage and UV related pigmentation. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.
