Post Operative Care: Cheek Augmentation

AFTER SURGERY

POSITION: Keeping her head above the level of your heart as much as possible will help you minimize the swelling and thus the discomfort. You may shower the morning after surgery.

SUTURES: Sutures inside the mouth will dissolve in about two weeks. You may feel them with your tongue, but it is better to leave them alone.

ICE: Apply crushed ice in a “baggie” intermittently to the jaw areas.

AS YOU HEAL

NUMBNESS AND SWELLING: Numbness and some swelling will occur. You won’t look as strange to other people as you think you do.

DISCOMFORT: You may experience discomfort as if you bumped your cheeks. Lie on your stomach. This too, will resolve.

TINGLING: Tingling sensations indicate that the superficial nerves are coming back to life.

“I am in my 76th year. Anything you see that does not look 76, is because Dr. Zubowski is a perfectionist. He takes his time and you feel so at ease. I felt very confident that whatever he would do would be perfect for me. To say I recommend Dr. Zubowski is an understatement.”

“Dr. Zubowski said to me, ‘The skin on your face, the fat placement on your face is still very good, but your neck is not going to snap back because of your age and it lost elasticity,’ so right then and there, I said, ‘Okay, let’s do a facelift.’”
