Chin and Cheekbone Augmentation

Chin and/or Cheekbone augmentation can help in the search for a better appearance and the right proportions of facial features.

It can be done with a prosthetic implant or with an infiltration of fat grafts or Hyaluronic acid.

How is it done?

• An increase using a silicone implant: to introduce the implant, we make a small cut inside the mouth, between the lip and gum, which will be closed with absorbable thread after the procedure.
• An increase using fat grafts: this technique is called liposculpture and consists of the extraction of fat from a different part of the body by means of a microliposuction.  After the fat is processed, it is infiltrated in small quantities to the treated zone.
• An increase using Hyaluronic Acid: the acid is introduced using a thin needle in a place close to the treated zone, and molded afterwards.

Post-operation

Swelling and some bleeding is common but it quickly goes away.

The operation is carried out with local anesthesia and possible sedation depending on the chosen technique.  It is an out-patient procedure.

It can require a couple of days to relax and recover, depending on the technique and how each patient recovers.
