Chin and Cheek Augmentation

The physical beauty holds a very important place in today’s times. Gone are the days when beauty was defined as being skin deep or only makeup was considered to be the solution for hiding facial defects. Having a high cheekbone and a strong chin these days is an important part of physical beauty for men and women alike. For those who are not naturally gifted with a perfectly symmetrical face, chin and cheek augmentation is a long lasting solution.

Chin Augmentation or Mentoplasty

Chin augmentation is used to correct a receding or a weak chin by increasing its outward projection. It gives more contour and prominence to the chin by making use of any of the two techniques, one which involves making an incision inside the mouth and the other which involves inserting an implant. The incision to place this implant is made either in the mouth or on the underside of the chin, which leaves an inconspicuous mark. The chin augmentation process does not impede any jaw or biting function. It has the following advantages:

  1. It brings symmetry between the chin and other facial parts
  2. Makes the face more youthful
  3. Makes the facial profile more attractive
Cheek Augmentation or Malar Augmentation

High cheekbones have always been a very important part of beauty and insignificant cheekbones make the face look sagged, aged and fleshless. Makeup was mostly used to give a hint of high cheekbones to those faces that do not have it, but nowadays, cheek augmentation is done to emphasize the cheekbones to five them a more youthful and fuller look. Cheek augmentation is also done by placing an implant through an incision made either inside the mouth or in the eye area. Making an incision around the eye area is generally avoided as it leaves a noticeable mark. The projection of the cheek can be enhanced either frontally or laterally, and in some cases, both. Cheek augmentation gives high and aesthetically pleasing cheekbones.
