Facial Plastic Surgery - Reasons To Consider

High cheekbones and a well-defined jaw line have long been considered attractive. Chin and cheek implants enhance the profile by improving the overall proportion and balance to the face. Chin implants shape, contour and add symmetry. Cheek implants add fullness and definition as well as a strong facial profile.

Reasons to Consider Chin & Cheek Implants

• Extend or enlarge a small or recessed chin.
• Create a better-defined facial profile if the jaw, chin or cheeks lack definition.
• Bring aspects of the face into proportion.
• Fill in hollow cheeks due to heredity or aging.
• Make upper cheeks appear higher and fuller.

General Procedure

At our Long Island office, chin implants are inserted in front of the jawbone to augment the chin and jaw; commonly performed with nose surgery to create balance and symmetry. Cheek implants are placed in the lower cheek, or below the eye on the high cheek, and are often performed in conjunction with a facelift for a more youthful appearance. Each procedure usually takes between 30 minutes and an hour.
