Chin Implant
A receding chin can be augmented with
a chin implant. Minor enhancement of the chin may balance
the rest of the face. As a matter of fact, almost 20%
of people desiring rhinoplasty can be helped by a chin
implant as well. A receding chin can accentuate one’s
nose. Placing an implant will restore facial balance
and make the nose fit even better. Chin implants are
placed through a tiny incision under the chin. This
scar is barely visible. Since natural facial balance
is created, Chin Implants rarely are detectable by your
peers. |
Dr. Pearlman will select one of several chin
implant designs that will best improve not only your profile
but will fill out a narrow chin as well. Numerous sizers as
well as computer imaging will aid in this selection. Other
surgical alternatives, such as altering your own jaw to avoid
using an implant will be discussed during the consultation.

Cheek
Implants
High cheekbones can be created with malar/cheek implants.
Flattened cheekbones can be enhanced to create a more
angular, dramatic look to the face. These implants are
placed through the mouth. A number of anatomically matched
shapes and sizes are available to give the correct amount
of augmentation.

Sub-malar Implants
A hollow mid-face, the area below the
cheekbones and above the "nasolabial" folds (the folds
from the corner of the nose to the corner of the mouth)
can give you a gaunt drawn look. This comes from loss
of the baby fat from your cheeks as you age. This area
can be rejuvenated with sub-malar implants. Sub-malar
implants can also help elevate deep nasolabial folds.
Combined malar-submalar implants will both accentuate
your cheekbones and restore youthful fullness to the
midface.

Jaw Angle Implants
Narrow jaws can be enhanced by "jaw angle" implants. A more
balanced face can be created for patients without facial definition.
These are often placed in conjunction with a chin implant
to enhance a small jaw.
What are Facial Implants?
Facial Implants are made of a number of inert materials that
do not cause any reactions by the body. Implants are inserted
through the mouth or through natural creases, so that they
are undetectable by the human eye. Implant materials are safe.
The most commonly used implants are Silastic, Goretex and
Porus Polyethylene (Teflon). Each has been used for decades
in facial and other surgery, safely. None of these products
create tissue reactions or are rejected by the body. The most
appropriate implant will be selected at the time of your consultation.
