If you’ve ever longed for higher cheek bones to enhance the aesthetic appearance of your face, cheek surgery may be an option for you. Cheek implants are a way to establish facial symmetry or increase the size of the cheeks. They provide a subtle change to the appearance of your face and can enhance other notable facial features, such as your eyes.
Implants are usually made of silicone and inserted into the face in an outpatient surgical procedure. Incisions may be made inside the mouth or within the hairline so that scarring is not visible to others. Mid-facial cheek implants may be placed at the same time you have other cosmetic procedures, like a face lift, brow lift, rhinoplasty or chin implant.
The cost of cheek implants varies greatly depending on the specific implant to be used and the geographical region in which you are seeking surgery. Dr. Elizabeth provides payment options to patients, such as making payments up until the day before the procedure and taking all major credit cards.
Dr. Elizabeth graduated magna cum laude from McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, a highly renowned international school known as the ‘Harvard of Canada’. She received her Doctorate of Medicine from The Larner College of Medicine at The University of Vermont, graduating with multiple awards including The Pilcher Award for Excellence in Surgery. She completed her five-year Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery Residency at The University of New Mexico. She was then selected for one of the most competitive fellowships in the country in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, with the world-renowned surgeon Dr. Jeffrey H. Spiegel, at Boston University and The Spiegel Center in Boston, Massachusetts.
The chin plays an important role in the overall aesthetic appearance of the face. A weak chin can make a nose seem more prominent while a jutting chin can throw the symmetry of your face off balance. If you desire to have a stronger profile with a chin that enhances your best features, chin implant surgery may be an option for you.
Chin implant surgery is a way to increase or change the size and projection of your chin. The procedure is customized to each individual patient and may incorporate artificial material to obtain desired results.
Chin implant surgery is an outpatient procedure. Incisions may be made inside your mouth or just beneath your chin to allow Dr. Elizabeth to place your implant with no visible scars. Eye lifts, face lifts, brow lifts, nose jobs, and ear pinning are other procedures that may be performed at the same time as chin implant plastic surgery.
When your chin implant has been successfully placed, Dr. Elizabeth will tape your chin to support your new implant and minimize swelling. You may experience mild pain which may be managed with pain medication. Bruising and swelling are typical but should go away within several days after your surgery. You may also find it difficult to talk and smile for the first couple of days after surgery; this should improve in a short time.
