Chin and Cheek Implants for Improved Facial Sculpting

If you’re considering a rhinoplasty, you may need to step back and take a “big picture” look at the rest of your features. Because, as many of my Boca Raton rhinoplasty patients discover, your chin and cheeks make a significant difference in your overall appearance. If you see that your nose isn’t the only feature that is affecting the balance of your face, your surgeon may suggest an additional or alternative treatment: chin and cheek implants.

Why Choose Chin & Cheek Implants

There are several reasons to consider chin and cheek implants.

  • A recessed chin, often referred to as a “weak chin,” can be especially bothersome for men. A chin implant can improve the strength and masculinity of your appearance.
  • Some people have a “hollow” look to their face, which tends to become more significant with age. One of the standards of facial beauty is full, prominent cheekbones and this can be accomplished with cheek implants.

A more general reason for choosing facial implants is that they can improve the overall balance of your features, often enhancing the results of other facial sculpting procedures such as facelifts and eyelid tucks (blepharoplasties). Many of my nose surgery patients in Boca Raton find that facial implants greatly improve the results of their rhinoplasty procedure.
