Benefits of Paranasal Augmentation in Los Angeles
Younger Face
A mid-face augmentation provides a younger appearance by filling in hollows around the nose and reducing lines and wrinkles.
Long Lasting
Because we use implants, the positive lifting and filling results are permanent.
Complementary Ability
We often perform a mid-face augmentation in conjunction with other facial surgery procedures, such as rhinoplasty.
Consultation
It starts with a personal consultation with your trained and licensed Younique provider. During this one-on-one, they’ll discuss your concerns, the anti-aging goals you have in mind, and your medical history. If your provider determines that mid-face paranasal augmentation in Los Angeles is the most appropriate procedure, your surgery can be scheduled, and you’ll be filled in on the pre-surgery preparation details.
Procedure
During your paranasal augmentation surgery, your Younique provider will administer general anesthesia for a painless experience and help alleviate any anxiety you may be experiencing. Then, using incisions made either inside the mouth or below the lower eyelid, carefully sculpted implants will be inserted and positioned to provide the most natural-looking enhancement to volume.
These improvements address mid-face concavity that gives a flat or hollow looking appearance, including higher cheekbones or fuller cheeks. The small incisions have minimal scarring afterwards.
Recovery
Paranasal implant surgery is similar to cheekbone implants as they can both lead to fuller mid-face features. At Younique, we use a technique that can take between 30 to 45 minutes and does not require patients to stay overnight afterward. Some patients may have some swelling for a few days.
Most start feeling back to normal two days post-surgery. Prescribed or over-the-counter pain medication may be used initially, and along with a cold compress. After about ten days, people can generally start returning to work.
Also, avoid heavy exercise or activity for at least 14 days.

What exactly is paranasal augmentation?
Paranasal mid-face augmentation is a type of facial implant or enhancement surgery which uses implants to combat sunken cheeks, jutting noses, and protruding lips. It helps round out features and prevents a gaunt appearance.
The surgeon targets a few main regions in this relatively vast space that make up the mid-face, including the space between our noses, cheeks, and the bottoms of our eye sockets. Using implants or other methods to enhance this area can help offset sunken features due to aging or genetics. The surgery is quick, permanent, and has minimal side effects.
Who is a good candidate for paranasal augmentation in Los Angeles?
As long as the candidate is in good health, preferably a non-smoker, and has discussed the procedure with a Younique provider to understand realistic expectations and results, a paranasal augmentation can likely be considered. Feeling better is the ultimate goal of any plastic surgery performed at Younique Surgery Center and Medical Spa. Some people find themselves drawn to paranasal augmentation if they have a sunken mid-face.
These features are more common in the Eastern Asian population, but we can perform a mid-face augmentation for anyone who feels they need fuller, more youthful facial features.
