Cheek implant question

ALRATIBA — Wed, 21 Dec 2022 22:44:13 GMT

I recently saw someone who had cheek implants a couple of months ago.

It looks like one of them is sliding ... is that something that can happen?

One side is definitely lower than the other.

Those things can look ridiculous sometimes. A certain blonde politician had them and everytime she smiled, a perfect circle formed and stood at attention. It looked SO unnatural.

Any kind of implant can shift or move to other positions, especially if they aren't secured with screws into bone.

The last part of that sentence made me certain I do not want a cheek implant. Besides the surgeon would just say, "Too little, too late."LOL

My cousin has breast implants that sag almost to her bellybutton. They started out high and perky.

I had a friend who had cheek implants due to some medical condition. Hers were very small and looked quite natural.

@santorini Who are you referring to? Can't figure it out! Does everyone else know?

No clue. But maybe a quick search on google images might render some results to look at.

@moonandthestars I think it's HRC. I will leave it at that. Plastic surgery is so commonplace! The same holds for dental work. It's odd seeing so many with the same ultra white, straight or veneers. The British actors on the PBS series have a different stance about extensive dental procedures.

If HRC had plastic surgery, she should get money back. She is only 75. Maybe she uses face tape like KK.

Just recently I had a dental makeover. It has taken nearly three years to get here but now I have the smile of my dreams and I couldn't ask for anything more. Had to give up an arm and a leg but I would do it all over again if I had to...plus I only got one arm and one leg left anyways...lol!

I'm glad Re: Cheek implant question

@SilleeMee Your humorous perspective is appreciated. That's great; revel in your your new changes.

Hi @SilleeMee Congratulations on your new smile!

Do you mind sharing what you did? I too would like to dream. I am thinking about getting braces at 60 because my teeth have become crooked. Not sure it's possible. Gotta get to the orthodontist. I have one crown, and am afraid I need another one.

Can one get teeth straightened with crowns? I suppose I could google that, and now that I thought about it, I will, but would I love to hear people's experiences.

@NYCLatinaMe

I had all six front teeth crowned with the shape and size teeth I wanted. My dentist calls them the "social six" ...LOL! They don't look like my original natural teeth at all. They look a lot better, perfect. I also had eight implants plus eight more crowns for those, in the back of my mouth, to complete the process. My bottom front teeth were already good so nothing done there. It's a dream come true for sure.

This is not my teeth but it's just like mine own. I gave this picture to my dentist and he used it to make my crowns.

I picked those out of these choices:

Thanks @SilleeMee! Now I have some teeth to think about. So instead of straightening the tooth, one could get a crown that is straight? Sorry if this is a stupid question. Never throught about this possibility...

@NYCLatinaMe

I think so b/c some of my teeth were crooked and had really wide gaps between them. You would never know that by looking at my teeth now.

@NYCLatinaMe

Going back to the OP cheek implant subject...

When I got all of my teeth put in my mouth that made a significant change in the appearance of my face, especially in the cheeks, where now they appear to have more fullness than before. Love that!

@SilleeMee Yes, I understand what is going on with the teeth affects the face. I read somewhere (authoritative type, not bs, just don't remember where) that as people get older, the teeth sort of retract, which makes the mouth sink in (even with all the teeth). So making the teeth more prominent is actually a youthful look. Sorry for my inartful language, but I think I am making myself understood.

Congratulations again on the beautiful smile!

Love your sharing of info! That is always a perfect gift.

And Merry Christmas if you celebrate!
