Currently, we generally have three methods to solve the problem of lack or loss of apple muscles: hyaluronic acid or Shuangmei collagen injection, endoscopic mid-face lift surgery, and zygomatic bone augmentation surgery. However, although these three surgical methods have the same effect, the degree of trauma is different. Therefore, you must carefully ask the doctor before treatment to determine the surgical method that is suitable for you. Let’s follow Shijiazhuang Xingyuan plastic surgery experts to learn about these three methods

of apple-toned muscles.

1. Hyaluronic acid or Shuangmei collagen injection

For mild cheek aging, hyaluronic acid and Shuangmei collagen can be used to fill the apple muscles to achieve temporary improvement. The advantages are: The effect is immediate, easy to shape, natural expression, minimal damage and quick recovery. Therefore, many people choose to inject hyaluronic acid to simulate the effect of surgery before apple muscle surgery. The disadvantage is that the validity period is limited (about 1 to 2 years) and the injection needs to be repeated.

Hyaluronic acid is derived from collagen and is one of the necessary components to support skin elasticity. It is a naturally occurring substance in tissues. It is widely found in the connective tissue, mucus tissue of vertebrates, the lens of the eye and the capsule of certain bacteria in nature. It plays an important role as a matrix in the dermis layer of human skin, whether it is the overall maintenance of the tissue structure or Transport between cells has a very important function.

Macromolecule hyaluronic acid will be absorbed by the body on its own, and the effect can last for about two years, that is, it must be injected repeatedly. The advantage is that hyaluronic acid is much safer than permanent fillers. After the operation, there are only two injections. A small hole-like wound requires no recovery period, postoperative swelling is not obvious, and consumer acceptance is also high.

2. Endoscopic mid-face lift surgery

This surgery has a specific effect of rejuvenating the aging and sagging apple muscles. The surgical wounds are on the scalp and inside the mouth. The naturally absorbed endotine lifts the mid-face, and the recovery period only takes about 3 to 5 days, so it is very suitable for mature women who are office workers. Or for silver-haired women who are unwilling to undergo traditional facelift surgery, the advantage is that the effect is obvious and comprehensive. It not only improves the sagging of the cheeks, but also makes the apples of the apples lift and plump, and can partially improve the nasolabial folds. It has many disadvantages. There will be temporary cheek stiffness after the operation, and it is not suitable for those with thin skin.

3. Zygomatic bone pad surgery

This new surgical method is suitable for young patients with congenital sunken or flat cheekbones. It uses silicone cartilage or artificial bone (Medpor) to cushion the cheekbones. Above the cheekbones, the effect of plumping up the apples of the cheeks can be successfully created. The surgical wound is also in the mouth, so it is completely invisible from the outside. Its advantage is that it can fundamentally correct facial bone defects, the surgical effect is long-lasting and obvious, and because the relationship between cheek muscles and tissues is not changed, facial expression is not affected at all. In addition, there are many choices for the size and style of apple muscles, but the disadvantage is that the level of surgery is higher. The doctor's aesthetic perception determines the postoperative results and satisfaction, and implants still need to be careful about problems such as infection or displacement.
