Chin & Cheek Implants in Boston

shutterstock_144298810[1]Beauty may only be skin deep. But, for centuries, well-defined facial features have been considered traits of physical beauty. Prominent cheek bones and a strong chin provide balance and definition. Possessing these features can even enhance your self-confidence. For those lacking these natural marks of distinction, make-up was their only alternative.

If you are bothered by a small chin, weak jaw or lack of facial contour, plastic surgery with facial implants may benefit you. While any area of the facial structure can be augmented with implants, the cheek or malar area and chin are the most common sites for facial implants. Facial implants are designed for augmentative, reconstructive or rejuvenative purposes.

In general, facial implants add or restore contour and/or proportion and bring balance to the structural appearance they define by increasing projection and creating more distinct features. Facial Implants can Enhance, Define and Balance-out facial features to create a more harmonious and attractive look If symmetry among facial features is part of your goal, facial implants may be recommended to augment more than one facial region. It’s important to remember that all of our faces are asymmetric to some degree and your results may not be completely symmetric. The goal is to create balance and proportion. Your procedure may be performed alone, or as a complement to other facial contouring procedures such as nose or ear surgery.

Dr. Ishoo has used facial implant and other chin surgery techniques to create symmetry among your facial features by establishing balance and proportion. Your procedure may be performed alone, or as a complement to other facial contouring procedures such as face lift, neck lift, cosmetic eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) or other procedures.

While all of these implant procedures are having an immediate impact on improving one’s appearance, it is also having a longer-term effect. Older facial-rejuvenation methods consisted primarily of removing—subtracting—skin and fat, but the implant method adds structure and support. The result is that the day when a facelift would be needed can actually be postponed due to the implants. The “scaffolding” effect of the implants are already providing the needed lift.

The science of facial implants has evolved considerably in the past 10 years. First, the long-term safety of silicone has now been firmly established. Second, while these long-term studies were being performed, cheek and chin implants were completely redesigned. Now with many shapes and sizes of implants, some with computer-generated, high-tech designs, the results of surgery are much more natural and the ability to rejuvenate significantly more powerful. Implantech facial implants provide the Dr. Ishoo with the means to sculpt the patient’s face unachievable with injectables alone. Permanent, non-migrating and looking like natural bone structure, these implants can give our patients the special confidence and self esteem that result from a new found youth.
