FAQ
Is malaroplasty permanent?
Yes, the results of malaroplasty are typically permanent, as the reshaped cheekbones and tissues maintain their new position over time.
What is the recovery time after malaroplasty?
Most patients can return to normal activities within 1-2 weeks. However, some swelling and bruising may persist for a few weeks. Full recovery can take a few months for final results.
Can malaroplasty be combined with other procedures?
Yes, malaroplasty can often be combined with other facial procedures, such as rhinoplasty or facelifts, for a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
Will I have visible scars after malaroplasty?
Incisions are usually made inside the mouth or along the lower eyelid, minimizing visible scarring. Any scars that do appear are discreet and heal well over time.
Is malaroplasty painful?
Discomfort is typically minimal and can be managed with prescribed pain medications. Most patients report mild soreness or swelling rather than significant pain.
How soon will I see results after malaroplasty?
While initial results are visible once swelling subsides, final results may take several months as the tissues settle and fully heal.
