FACIAL IMPLANTS
Cheeks
The cheeks are another area that creates a significant impact on facial balance. Loss of fullness in the cheeks is also a characteristic sign of aging. Sunken or deflated cheeks create an appearance that looks sad or tired.More youthful volume may be restored in several ways, either using cheek implants, fat grafted from another part of the body, through injectable cosmetic fillers. When cheek implants are used, Dr. Kim accesses the cheeks through small incisions that are invisible because they are on the inside of the upper lips. The soft implants are placed to enhance the cheek area, restoring a rejuvenated, more youthful appearance.

Chin
Another area that can cause significant imbalance to the overall appearance of the face is the chin. A small or short chin can cause the neck to look less defined and create an illusion of having a larger nose.Chin augmentation is often accomplished using an implant. The chin implant is placed through a small incision below the chin. A soft biocompatible chin implant is placed and secured in front of the lower jaw.
In contrast to chin augmentation, a prominent or long chin can make the upper face look sunken and the nose look small. Even small changes in the size of the chin can result in a very noticeable improvement in the overall balance of the face.
