Chin and Cheek Augmentation

A chin implant is frequently performed with a rhinoplasty or neck liposuction to achieve a more balanced profile. Cheek implants can create a more defined cheekbone and help create a more contoured facial profile. Dr. Davis offers chin and cheek augmentation in Houston to help create a more balanced facial structure.

Chin and cheek implants can help bring definition to the middle and lower portions of the face. Chin implants can strengthen a person’s jaw and bring balance and harmony to the face, while cheek implants can bring definition and improved facial contour. Facial implants are placed through inconspicuous incisions.

What Is a Chin and Cheek Augmentation?

Cheek and Chin augmentation are surgeries performed using facial implants. When Dr. Davis performs cheek augmentation or chin augmentation in Houston at his plastic surgery practice, it starts with an incision made into the area, and then the implant is inserted. These implants are made of solid materials that can closely mimic natural facial structures. Cheek implant surgery takes 30 minutes to an hour. The implant for the cheeks is inserted through the lower eyelid or the upper lip to conceal any scarring. For chin augmentation, the incision is placed beneath the chin or made through the lower mouth.

Benefits of Chin and Cheek Augmentation

The chin and cheek often play a more significant role in facial symmetry than people realize. A chin implant can help make the neck and face look less full, help get rid of excess submental skin, and help eliminate hollow areas surrounding the chin. Cheek implants can help create the look of higher cheekbones, making your face look more sculpted and contoured. Chin and cheek implants are also permanent so that you won’t require repeat procedures or touch-up appointments.

A Guide Facial Implants

The idea of a facial implant may seem scary, but it is a standard tool in facial plastic surgery. Facial implants come in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and materials.

Facial implants are solid and made from synthetic materials such as silicone.

During your consultation, Dr. Davis will select one that works best for your facial features and will create the most natural-looking result. These implants are designed to closely resemble the shape of human tissue when inserted. Facial implants used for chin and cheek augmentation are permanent, although they can be removed should you like them to be.

Chin and Cheek Augmentation Recovery

After the surgery has been completed, the recovery period will begin. The amount of time for recovery can vary, but most patients resume normal activities in two weeks or less. You may need to wait a bit longer to partake in more strenuous activities such as running or other forms of exercise. Before your surgery, Dr. Davis will provide you with recovery instructions, including when to resume certain activities and what to avoid. If you need anything during your recovery or have any questions, the staff of Texas Facial Plastic Surgery will be available to help.
