Are you seeking a way to enhance your facial appearance? Perhaps you’ve noticed a lack of definition in certain areas or want to have more balanced and youthful contours. Genetics, aging or trauma can lead to undefined facial contours, creating a lack of harmony between your features.
Facial implants provide targeted and lasting solutions to redefine and rejuvenate your appearance. At Plastic Surgery Austin, our board-certified plastic surgeon, Sanjay K. Sharma, MD, FACS, offers cheek and chin implants to help you achieve more distinct facial features that give you the look you want.
Facial implants are prosthetic medical devices crafted to reshape or augment specific areas of the face, adding volume and definition to your facial contours.
The implants are available in a variety of shapes and sizes to cater to individual needs and preferences. This means your implants can be designed to fit your unique facial structure and aesthetic goals.
At Plastic Surgery Austin, we specialize in providing customized solutions for enhancing facial aesthetics. Our skilled team offers two main types of facial implants: cheek and chin implants. With years of experience and expertise, we ensure that each implant is tailored to complement your individual facial structure.
Cheek implants give fullness to the cheeks and attractive definition, allowing for a more youthful appearance. They can create the appearance of high, angular cheekbones that are sought by so many, but they will be personalized based on your goals.
Over time, the implant integrates with the surrounding tissue, becoming a natural part of the facial structure.
Chin surgery, also called mentoplasty, involves placing chin implants to create a more prominent chin. This procedure enhances the definition and proportion of the chin in relation to the rest of the face. A chin implant can improve your facial profile and balance your facial features, including creating the appearance of a more defined jawline.
Similar to cheek implants, chin implants integrate with the surrounding tissue over time, allowing for a natural appearance and feel.
Facial implants are commonly made from biocompatible materials like silicone or porous polyethylene. These materials are designed to safely integrate with your body’s tissues and provide a natural look and feel.
Cheek implants can address various concerns related to the midface region. They are designed to provide solutions to:
Chin implants are utilized to address specific concerns related to the lower face and jawline, such as:

Getting ready for a facial implant procedure typically involves the following steps:
The placement of both cheek and chin implants requires significant expertise, as it involves careful consideration of the underlying facial bones, muscles and tissues to achieve a natural look. Choosing a professional and experienced surgical team, like the one at Plastic Surgery Austin, ensures that the implant is placed with the utmost care and attention to your unique facial anatomy.
Cheek implants are generally placed directly on the cheekbones. A small incision is made either inside the mouth or through the lower eyelid, allowing your plastic surgeon to create a pocket-like space over the cheekbone. The implant is then inserted into this space and positioned carefully to augment the contour of the cheeks. It lies beneath the soft tissue and muscles of the face, giving a more naturally youthful and full appearance to the cheeks.
Chin implants, on the other hand, are typically positioned around the jawbone. Your plastic surgeon may make an incision either inside the mouth or beneath the chin to access the area. A pocket is then created in front of the jawbone and under the muscles, where the chin implant is inserted to enhance the projection and shape of the chin.
The facial implant procedure at Plastic Surgery Austin is carried out with utmost care, focusing on your comfort, safety and desired outcomes. Here’s a more detailed walkthrough of what you can expect right before, during and after your facial implant surgery.
Throughout the procedure and recovery, the team at Plastic Surgery Austin will provide personalized attention, making sure that you’re well-informed, comfortable and confident in the care you’re receiving.
The decision to undergo facial implant surgery is a significant one, and understanding what to expect can help ease any apprehensions. By choosing Plastic Surgery Austin, you are opting for a professional team that prioritizes your individual needs, safety and satisfaction. Scheduling a consultation can provide you with further insights tailored to your unique situation.
Recovery from facial implants is a gradual process. Here’s what you can anticipate:
You’ll see an immediate change in the size and shape of your cheeks or chin after surgery, but your final results will be camouflaged by bruising and swelling. In the first couple of weeks, you’ll begin to see your new facial contours as most of the swelling subsides. The improvements will become more prominent and refined as your face heals.
What sets facial implants apart is their ability to offer permanent enhancements. While the implants themselves provide a lasting change to the contours of your face, natural aging will continue and may subtly influence the appearance of your cheeks or chin over time.
