Chin
Augmentation
Many
people with a recessive chin feel self-conscious
and want to change the shape and projection.
This type of chin may be easily corrected
by inserting a chin implant that increases
the size of the chin. Ideally, the chin should
project to a point almost as forward as the
upper lip line. This surgery can be done in
conjunction with
Rhinoplasty or as a separate procedure.
During
chin surgery, an implant is placed through
an incision under the chin.
Complications
are unusual, however there are risks of infection,
bleeding, rejection, asymmetry or implant
shifting.
Cheek
Bone Augmentation
Often
times cheek bone structure makes the difference
between an ordinary face and one that is exceptionally
beautiful. Shallow cheek bones are usually
inherited or are the result of aging due to
the re-absorption of bone tissue. A "hollow"
look on an individual can cause the face to
appear flat.
The
correction for cheek bone deficiency is cheek
bone augmentation. The cheek area can be corrected
by implanting a small prosthetic device. Through
an incision in the mouth or under the eye,
the cheek bone implant can be customized to
the patients' requirements and dramatically
improve the facial profile.
