Facial Implants

For centuries, well defined facial features have been considered traits of physical beauty. Prominent cheek bones and a strong chin provide balance and definition. For those lacking these natural marks of distinction, or that have asymmetries or congenital defects to these features, chin and/or cheek implants can correct the problem.

The chin is a surprisingly important feature, having a profound aesthetic impact on the face. For example, a weak chin may disrupt facial proportions, creating the illusion of a large nose or full neck, while a chin of proper proportions enhances and complements other facial features. Genioplasty, also known as “chin augmentation surgery” or a “chin lift”, reshapes the chin for improved facial harmony. There are two types of genioplasty: sliding genioplasty (contouring the natural chin bone) and augmentation genioplasty (silicone or ePTFE chin implant).

Similarly, cheek implants can instantly  improve the contour of your mid-face creating  a subtle lift and additional volume to help restore a more youthful profile.

Who Is a Likely Candidate?

Facial implants  benefit patients whose chin size is disproportionate to their other facial features. It can reduce the appearance of a double chin and strengthen the profile to significantly enhance your appearance. It is often paired with other facial contouring procedures such as neck lifts, face lifts, cheek implants  and rhinoplasty.
