Külgkallet

Külgkallet, also known as cheekbone implants, are surgical procedures used to enhance the appearance of the cheekbones. These implants are typically made from materials such as silicone, saline, or hydroxyapatite, and are designed to restore volume and definition to the cheek area. The procedure involves placing the implant beneath the skin, usually in the cheek area, to lift and contour the face. Külgkallet can be performed as a standalone procedure or in conjunction with other facial surgeries, such as rhinoplasty or facelifts.

The primary goal of külgkallet is to improve facial symmetry, reduce the appearance of aging, and enhance the overall contour of the face. It is particularly beneficial for individuals who have lost volume in their cheeks due to aging, weight loss, or other factors. The procedure is relatively quick and can be performed under local anesthesia, making it a popular choice for those seeking non-invasive facial rejuvenation.

Post-operative care for külgkallet typically involves minimizing swelling and bruising, which can be managed with ice packs and prescribed medications. Most patients can return to normal activities within a few days, although it may take several weeks for the full results to become apparent. The longevity of külgkallet is generally good, with many implants lasting for several years before requiring replacement.

As with any surgical procedure, külgkallet carries risks and potential complications, including infection, implant migration, and asymmetry. It is essential for patients to have a thorough consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon to discuss their goals, expectations, and the potential risks and benefits of the procedure.
