What are cheek and chin implant surgeries?
Cheek and chin implants are cosmetic surgeries that are performed to enhance or augment the physical structure of your face. Chin implants can increase the size and projection of your chin, making it better match the proportions of the rest of your facial features. Cheek implants can increase the projection of your cheekbones and enhance areas of the cheek that are recessed or flat. During your cheek or chin implant surgery, personalized silicone implants will be placed in the locations you would like to enhance.
Is a cheek or chin implant right for me?
What should I expect during my consultation?
During your consultation, we will help you to determine if a cheek or chin implant surgery is right for you. You can expect your doctor to ask you:
- Why do you want a facial implant?
- What are your expectations for the procedure?
- What is your desired outcome?
- Do you have any medical conditions or drug allergies?
- Are you currently undergoing any medical treatments?
- What is your current use of medications, vitamins, herbal supplements, alcohol, tobacco, and drugs?
- Have you had any previous surgeries? If so, what were they?
In addition to asking these questions, your we will use your consultation to evaluate your general health status and any pre-existing health conditions or risk factors you may have, discuss your facial implant options, examine and measure your face, take photographs for your medical record, recommend a course of treatment, discuss likely outcomes of a facial implant surgery and any risks or potential complications, and answer your questions.
What should I expect before my cheek or chin implant surgery?
Before your cheek or chin implant surgery, you may be asked to get lab testing or a medical evaluation, take certain medications or adjust your current medications, stop smoking, and avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, and herbal supplements that may increase bleeding.
We will also give you special instructions about what to do the night before and morning of your surgery and regarding your post-operative care and follow-up appointments.
