Juvaderm Cheek Augmentation | Cheek Lift

Catherine Deneuve, a famous French movie actress, is credited with saying this (we have conveniently paraphrased it): Women over 40 years old have to choose between the butt and the face.

A very accurate perception.

With age and good living, women have a tendency to put on weight all over the body, including the cheeks, belly and buttocks. Big buttocks are not the in thing these days, and in an effort to reduce fat, women will go through severe dieting and exercise regimens. And they succeed very often in reducing the buttock size to reasonable levels. Unfortunately, however, when the body loses its fat it loses it all over, and in places that cannot afford this fat loss. Thus we find the once plump cheeks on the face which does give one the appearance of youth become gaunt and hollow-looking, as the fat is gone, and the woman ends up with a nice firm butt and an old haggard face.

On the other hand, to maintain the youthful plump cheeks on the face naturally, one just cannot afford to exercise and diet, with the result that a fat butt has to go with plump cheeks.

Solutions have come in the form of surgical face lifts. With the clever use of the knife, the plastic surgeon stretches the old wrinkled skin of the face backwards behind the ears and the temple and snips off the excess, leaving behind a smooth unwrinkled skin on the cheeks to complement the well-toned buttock.

A less extreme form of facelift comes in the form of the threadlift, where a barbed thread is inserted into the scalp of the temple, and is threaded under the skin and subcutaneous layer down to the cheek bones and back in a loop to the temple. The thread is tightened and the skin is lifted against gravity.

Both the above efforts work in theory to reduce the wrinkled facial skin of the lower face. However while the skin is smooth, facelifts sometimes enhance the flat bony structure of the cheeks, and the effect is not a restoration of the original looks, as the fat under the skin has been lost due to dieting and exercise.

The solution is a non-surgical cheek augmentation or cheek lift. Facial fillers such as Juvaderm or Restalyne are injected in skilled hands under the skin of the cheeks to fill up the hollowness that gives one the aged half-starved look. The end effect is a restoration of the plump cheeks and an instant recovery of the youth that was lost due to dieting. Juvaderm lasts up to 1 year after injection, and so for this one year one can enjoy the combination of plump youthful cheeks, a slim body and nice butt before the next cheek augmentation session!
