CHEEK AND CHIN IMPLANTS

Chin and cheek implants improves facial symmetry and contour by surgically implanting a plastic material implant usually silicone, into the face. With chin augmentation, an incision is made under the chin and a pocket is created on the mid jaw bone to hold the implant in place. Chin augmentation is often done in conjunction with a facelift, neck liposuction or a rhinoplasty to help improve ones profile. The procedure can be done under local or IV anesthesia.

Cheek Implants are usually inserted through the mouth to enhance the mid face region and restore a more full, youthful appearance of the face.
