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.
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.
