Cheek & Chin Implant InfoChin and Cheek Enlargement with ImplantsChin Augmentation (Implants)A chin augmentation will strengthen your profile by making a weak chin more prominent. This can have a surprisingly positive impact on the appearance of your nose.Cheek Augmentation (Implants)Cheek augmentation will give fullness to flat cheekbones. They can be placed to give you more projection laterally, frontally, or both. To decide on which placement would be best for you and your facial structure, you should discuss this with your surgeon.ScarsThe scars are usually on the inside of your mouth where they are never visible, regardless of their appearance. The stitches used to close your incisions are usually absorbable and will not require removal.What to Expect During and After Chin or Cheek Augmentation SurgeryAnesthesia: Sedation or general.Location of operation: Office or hospital. Length of surgery: 30 minutes for chin implant, 45-60 minutes for cheek implants. Length of stay: Outpatient (home same day). Discomfort: Mild to moderate. Anticipate 2-7 days of prescription pain medication. Bruising: Uncommon. Swelling: Lasts 1-2 weeks following chin implant and 2-3 weeks following cheek implants.
