Subtle changes to the chin, cheek and jawline can improve facial harmony. This procedure can be performed alone or in conjunction with rhinoplasty, necklift or facelift surgery to deliver a natural balance and beauty to the face. A weak or receding chin, cheek or jawline is a physical trait a patient is born with, though the cheeks or chin may recede with age or after a traumatic injury. Chin, cheek and jawline augmentation significantly improves facial harmony; making patients feel better about their appearance and increasing one’s confidence.
At New York’s Facial, Plastic, Reconstructive and Laser Surgery , chin, cheek and jawline implants are a popular procedure among men and women. Hudson Valley men and women know how important a “strong” chin and prominent cheek bones are to the appearance of one’s facial proportions, and often to one’s career.
Who is a Candidate for Chin, Cheek, Temple and Jawline Implants?
Healthy men and women seeking improvement to the appearance of their chin, cheeks and / or jawline are excellent candidates for these procedures. Our experienced surgeons fully evaluate your facial anatomy and candidacy during your initial consultation. Your surgeon will carefully review your medical history and cosmetic concerns. A dental exam and X-ray of the chin and jawline may be necessary to help your doctor evaluate teeth alignment, facial structure, and soft tissue. Our team will work with you to select the best implant option to deliver optimal aesthetic results.
What is the Recovery like from Chin, Cheek, Temple and Jawline Augmentation?
These procedures may be performed under light sedation, local anesthesia, or general anesthesia depending on a patient’s preference and needs. Soft and flexible implants are used. Implants come in various sizes, shapes and are personalized to each patient. Small incisions are made on the inside of the mouth or are hidden under the chin. A small pocket is created and the implant is inserted and positioned securely. Incisions are closed and the area is secured with bandages for recovery. During a consultation, your surgeon will help determine the shape and size of the implant most appropriate to achieve beauty and balance to your facial appearance.
We accomplish these procedures in an outpatient setting. Most patients return to home after only a few hours. Recovery is usually less than one week, at which time patients may return to work and non-strenuous activities. Mild discomfort, swelling and bruising are common the first few days after surgery. Most patients feel confident returning to their public and social lives in about 5-7 days. Our experienced surgeons reduce bruising and recovery time with the application of state-of-art techniques and the use of homeopathic or herbal options. Detailed postoperative and aftercare instructions will be provided to each patient.
