Facial Contouring

Weak Chin, Weak Cheeks and Facial Implants

Facial Implants in Calgary

Achieving balance between the features of the face is central to facial cosmetic surgery. The harmony of the facial structures may be affected by hereditary factors, the aging process, or injury.

In many cases, facial implant surgery is an effective way to restore or enhance natural angles and improve the proportion of the chin, cheeks, and jawline.

In some situations, patients may simulate the result of a chin implant or cheek implant with an injectable filler such as Restylane or Perlane.

Contact Dr. Kristina Zakhary’s clinic in Calgary to learn whether facial implants may be the solution you have been searching for and how facial contouring can improve your overall profile.

Chin Enhancement

Weak Chin

A weak chin can have a major impact on facial balance and the way your other features appear.

When the chin is recessed, the nose may look larger and the lower lip may appear droopy.

A receding chin can also affect facial expression by creating a profile that appears less defined.

This imbalance is often sensed rather than seen.

To correct a weak or receding chin, a small incision is made beneath the chin and a chin implant is placed to improve projection and definition.

Infection of the chin implant is possible but uncommon. Some temporary numbness of the lips may be experienced for a few days to a few weeks after surgery.

Midface Enhancement

Weak Cheeks

Hollow or flat cheeks may be enhanced with fat injections. Flat cheeks may also be improved with cheek implant surgery.

A small incision is placed inside the mouth or nose.

Cheek implants are then introduced to enhance cheek volume and improve midface contour.

Infection of these facial implants is possible but uncommon.

Some temporary numbness of the cheeks is usually experienced for a few days to a few months after surgery.
