These implants are made of porous polyethylene. This is a non-absorbable material, which means the result will be permanent. The omni-directional pore structure of the polyethylene implants increases the acceptance of the implant by the body, by allowing the patient's own tissue to integrate with the implant.
We use these paranasal implants in patients who have no volume in the paranasal area, just next to the wings of the nose. This lack of volume can be caused by underdevelopment of the maxilla (maxilla) or soft tissue loss due to aging, or a combination of both.
Since women tend to have fuller cheeks and fewer wrinkles and furrows on their faces, adding volume to the cheeks and paranasal area has proven to have a feminizing effect in many cases.
An additional difference between the male and female hairlines comes with age. There is a typical male pattern of baldness in which the hairline recedes. This is something that usually does not occur in women. Although cisgender women sometimes experience hair loss, it usually involves a general thinning of the hair over the entire scalp and is not manifested in one specific area.
Since the effect of lipofilling in the paranasal area has proven to be subtle, we recommend implants for those who really need a significant amount of extra volume in that area.
One of the great advantages of these implants is that they can easily be reduced in size or even completely removed if the patient is not satisfied with the result (however rare). Something that is not always possible with transplanted fat.
