Chin Implants

Some people have a weak or receding chin, which is a hereditary characteristic. A receding chin can make a person's profile look out of balance. It can make the nose look too big and it can also detract from a slender neckline.

Chin augmentation can correct all of the above with a very simple and quick procedure that involves placing an implant in the chin to give the chin adequate projection. The implant will give the chin and jaw a smoother and stronger outline thus making the face and neck more harmonious and attractive.

The type of implant we use is made of a soft silastic material that has the same consistency as the natural chin tissues so that from the outside one cannot detect the presence of an implant and the chin is normal to touch. The implant does not move or shift once it is placed correctly and once healing has occurred. After a few months, most individuals forget that there is an implant in the chin.

The implant is inserted through a very small incision in the natural crease under the chin. A chin implant is performed at the same time as a Rhinoplasty (nose surgery), a facelift or by itself as an independent procedure. Healing time to look presentable is 3 to 5 days.

Cheek Implants

It is often said that a person looks attractive because they have such high cheekbones or smooth cheeks. The cheek implant procedure is performed to correct a naturally flat cheek bone area or to correct a sunken cheek appearance that frequently develops with age or sometimes after an injury.

There are two types of cheek implants. A malar implant results in more prominent or high cheekbones, whereas a submalar implant corrects the sunken cheek appearance. Both are performed under twilight anesthesia through tiny incisions placed inside the mouth under the upper lip on each side.

Healing time is 3 to 5 days to allow swelling to recede. There is usually no bruising. The implants are made of a soft silastic material that carries no risk of rejection and these anatomical implants produce a very natural appearance.
