When performing tear trough and cheekbone augmentation to rejuvenate the upper third of the face, I consider the following five key factors:
1. Naturalness of Contours – The goal is to restore youthful volume without creating an overfilled or unnatural appearance. I prioritize smooth transitions between the tear trough, midface, and cheekbones to maintain soft, natural contours that integrate seamlessly with the patient’s existing features.
2. Subtlety in Volume Restoration – Precision in filler placement or implant selection is crucial to avoid excessive projection or an exaggerated look. I focus on adding just enough volume to correct hollowness and shadowing while preserving the patient’s inherent facial dynamics and expressions.
3. Understanding of Deep and Superficial Anatomy – A deep knowledge of the orbital and zygomatic anatomy guides my approach. I carefully assess fat pad positioning, ligamentous support, and bony structure to determine the optimal technique for structural enhancement while minimizing risks like filler migration or vascular complications.
4. Coherence of the Result with the Entire Face – The upper third of the face must be in harmony with the midface and jawline. I ensure that tear trough and cheek augmentation blend seamlessly, avoiding an isolated or disjointed enhancement that disrupts facial balance.
5. Longevity and Biocompatibility – Whether using fillers, fat grafting, or implants, I consider the longevity of results and how the materials interact with surrounding tissues over time. I choose techniques and products that maintain structural integrity while aging gracefully alongside the patient’s natural facial changes.
