For centuries, well defined facial features have been considered traits of physical beauty. Prominent cheek bones and a strong chin provide balance and definition. For those lacking these natural marks of distinction, or that have asymmetries or congenital defects to these features, chin and/or cheek implants can correct the problem.

Chin implants are often recommended to patients undergoing nose surgery to achieve better facial balance. In patients 38-50 years old, cheek implants can improve the midfacial contour and restore sagging midfacial soft tissues, thus postponing the need for a facelift. For patients receiving a face lift, cheek implants can ensure longer-lasting results. Cheek and chin implants can be placed under general or local anesthesia. They are placed through small incisions either in natural crease lines or inside the mouth and into position. The incisions are then closed using tiny sutures.
