Cheek bone augmentation in men

[ahamis]

As I said in other post, I believe there are limitations for cheek bone augmentation in males.

Have u seen good results (implants, osteotomy, HA paste)  in males? pics?
My impression is that "extended infraorbital implants" might have a better result than cheek implants in men.
What are your thoughts?

This is talked about nearly as much as jaw surgery on here.
Thousands of posts and threads. I think the consensus is that NO, there are no ways to create a dense, strong, masculine set of cheekbones

[The Quest for Aesthetics]

The people claiming it can't be done haven't seen any results where the zygomatic arch itself is elevated. This is possible but difficult and very rare according to Deschamps-Braly (a friend of mine asked him in consultation). This is critical for the 'masculine cheekbones' that you're looking for.

There isn't really a 'consensus' to speak of when that consensus is formed without all the relevant information.

Implants can be placed right under the eye and all along the zygomatic arch yes and they have been done before, most surgeons are just lazy or don't understand what makes a male attractive. I mean who the F did Barry Manilow's cheeks

Why is it difficult? Why do Sailer and Yaremchuk do it?

Masseteric muscle inserts into the underside of the arch, which is problematic to alter. I suspect it has something to do with the temporal muscle insertions and the way in which the zygo arch transitions backwards into the neurocranium but I have no evidence of those last two points, so don't quote me on them.

Yaremchuk?

I'm talking about implants on the arch, yeah Yaremchuk has done them, your theory sounds reasonable.

Oh I was referring to elevation of the arch

I remembering 2012 reading on some sort of obscure forum or blog that Russian female models were having that area (the arches) cut as in an osteotomy and moved to be more prominent. It was so unusual I looked again in 2014 but couldn't find it, there was no surgeon mentioned si kind of useless anyway.

You can kind of change the prominence through bone paste.  It takes an extremly skilled practitioner.  I think the way mommarts described the zygomatic sandwich its supposed to add width and height.

Elevation of the arch is possible but difficult. Augmentation goes without saying, easily done. And yes an osteotomy can move the arch outward.

Do you have more before/after pics from Sailer?
In his website I just found 2 examples.

maybe shoot this guy some questions? vertical and forward movement of the upper midface (to correct vertical excess at the same time). might be wrong but another paper mention something about a triangular rotational calculation which might mimick CCW at the LF3 level

I have cheek implants and they look natural - Only issue I have is one moved and I had fat to correct it.

What material?
