Chin and Cheek Implants

Cosmetic surgery advanced in the past years and we can now say that a lot of possible modifications can be done. You should know that one area that was previously untouchable can now be modified and your face can look better. Besides the common procedures like facelifts and neck lifts there are some that are not really popular. This lack of popularity appears from a lack of information. To put it simple, few people know about some possible surgeries that would make them look better. One of the best examples possible can be given in chin and cheek implants.

Your face’s contour can be enhanced. There are a lot of techniques that can be used to achieve this. Chin and cheek implants refer to chin augmentation. This procedure is also known as mentoplasty or genioplasty. Through chin augmentation you will obtain a stronger appearance thanks to an increase in the projection of the receding chin. The same thing can be done with your cheekbones as well. They can end up looking fuller and the result is a look that is more sculpted. All this is possible through the use of chin and cheek implants. The result obtained is a predictable and permanent improvement of how these areas of your face look like. In certain circumstances the surgeon might also choose to inject fat in some areas. This is done in order to obtain a better, younger fullness of the face. Remember that fat injection treatment might need to be done on a repetitive basis so that it maintains improvement.

Contrary to what you might have heard, chin augmentation has only on goal, which is to improve the individual’s profile. This is done by creating a balance that is better between facial features and the chin. There is also a common misconception that your jaw function or bite will suffer because of the chin projection’s increase. You should know that this is not at all true and it will never happen.

There are 2 common techniques used in order to add contour and prominence to one’s chin. The first one will see an incision done inside your mouth and the chinbone will be moved during the surgery. The second one stands in using implants. We must say that the second technique is more commonly used. The implant will be inserted through some incisions that are made inside the mouth or alternatively under your chin. If we are dealing with the chin case a scar will remain but it will be faint and hard to notice.

You need to know that the doctor will put you on a strict liquid diet after chin augmentation so that healing is fast and proper. The good news is that it will only last for around 2 days and your chin will be bandaged or taped during the process. Cheekbone augmentation will be done by putting a special implant over it. Incisions are needed and it is up to the doctor to choose where they should be done. As with most plastic surgeries out there, chin and cheek augmentation is highly personal and you can not expect the same results as you saw with another patient. You need to be realistic in your expectations and always talk about them with your doctor prior to inserting the chin and cheek implants. You should also look at other possible procedures as you might also benefit from them. There have been many cases of people that were not satisfied with how they looked, though about getting a certain type of cosmetic surgery and ended up doing something else. That is why you have to talk with a specialist.
