Benefits of Paranasal Augmentation
Younger Face
A mid-face augmentation creates a younger appearance by filling in hollows around the nose and reducing lines and wrinkles.
Long Lasting
Because we use implants, the lifting and filling are almost immediate and decidedly permanent.
Complementary Ability
We often perform mid-face augmentation in conjunction with other facial surgery procedures, such as rhinoplasty.
Consultation
Your journey begins with a personalized consultation with your licensed Younique provider. During this session, you’ll discuss your concerns, anti-aging goals, and medical history. If your provider determines that mid-face paranasal augmentation is the right procedure for you, they’ll help you schedule your surgery and guide you through all the necessary prep for your paranasal implant in Oxnard.
Procedure
During your paranasal augmentation procedure, your Younique provider will administer general anesthesia to ensure a comfortable, pain-free experience. Through small incisions made either inside the mouth or beneath the lower eyelid, precisely crafted implants are carefully placed to enhance facial volume with a natural-looking result.
This treatment effectively corrects the mid-face concavity that causes a flat or hollow appearance, adding definition to the cheekbones and fullness to the cheeks. The small incisions typically result in minimal scarring.
Recovery
Paranasal implant surgery is comparable to cheekbone implants in that both can enhance the fullness of the mid-face. At Younique, our specialized technique typically takes about 30 to 45 minutes and is performed on an outpatient basis, so no overnight stay is required. Some swelling is common in the first few days following the procedure.
Most patients begin to feel like themselves again within 2 days. Pain can be managed with prescribed or over-the-counter medications, along with the use of cold compresses. Within about 10 days, most people are ready to return to work.
We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise or intense physical activity for at least 2 weeks to allow for optimal healing.

The path for your Younique journey begins with this first step.
Will there be visible scars?
We make the incisions inside your mouth, so there is no visible scarring on the face, helping your results look seamless and natural. This approach is especially popular because it offers the aesthetic benefits of mid-face enhancement without leaving behind external signs of surgery. Your provider carefully works through this discreet entry point to place the implants, minimizing disruption to surrounding tissues and speeding up recovery time. It’s a subtle, behind-the-scenes technique that delivers beautifully noticeable results.
What is recovery like?
Most patients experience some swelling and minor discomfort for a few days. You can typically return to work after about 10 days, but you should avoid strenuous activities for at least 2 weeks.
Initial results are noticeable immediately, though final results become more apparent within a few weeks, after swelling subsides.
