Facial implants are made from solid, biocompatible materials and are designed to improve or augment the physical structure of your face. The type of facial implants used depends on an evaluation of your goals, the features you wish to correct, and the surgeon’s best judgment.
Patients seeking facial implant enhancement at Atlanta Plastic & Reconstructive Specialists work closely with board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. Bahair Ghazi, Dr. John D. Symbas, and Dr. Kendall Brooks—surgeons whose advanced training at Emory University and the University of Virginia informs a thoughtful, anatomy-focused approach to facial contouring. Their deep experience in facial rejuvenation and reconstructive techniques allows them to tailor implants that enhance structure while preserving natural balance. Every procedure is performed within our AAAHC-accredited surgical facility alongside board-certified anesthesiologists, ensuring an environment built around precision, safety, and consistently refined results.
Reasons for Cheek Augmentation
Full, defined cheeks can significantly enhance a person’s face. They can add definition and character to a person. Cheek augmentation can help give you strong-looking cheekbones for people who don’t have them or restore aging cheeks to their original fullness.
Some of the most common reasons for a cheek augmentation procedure are:
- To permanently enhance cheeks (rather than using injectable fillers).
- To accent the higher cheeks, making them appear higher and fuller.
- To add fullness lost as a result of aging.
- To add distinction and strength to otherwise dull cheekbones.
Procedure Details
Cheek augmentation procedures involve inserting silicone implants into the target area to achieve the desired effect. A small incision is made inside the mouth, and the cheek implant is positioned in a small pocket under the skin. By going through the mouth, the scarring is invisible. With all of the cheek implant choices available, the possibilities for cheek augmentation are nearly endless.
What is Chin Augmentation?
Chin augmentation, or chin implant surgery, is a cosmetic procedure that is used to “strengthen” the appearance of the chin and add definition. This procedure is performed much like a breast implant procedure. A small incision is made under the chin, and a small implant is situated over the chin bone. Because the incision is made under the chin, the resulting scar is nearly invisible. With over 100 different sizes and shapes of chin implants available, almost any desired look can be achieved by a chin augmentation surgery.
Why Are Chin Implants So Popular?
Many plastic surgeons speculate that the increase in chin augmentation procedures is due to social media and improved video technology. As people spend more time in video conferences, our chins are featured more prominently. Seeing one’s chin front and center on a cellphone or video screen draws attention to a feature that might otherwise be overlooked.
Other common reasons to have a chin augmentation procedure include:
- Building up and enhancing a small chin.
- Creating a stronger, more proportionate chin and jawline.
- Providing a balance to one’s face.
