Cheekbone and Chin Aesthetics
Cheek augmentation
The goal of cheek augmentation is to add volume or lift to the cheeks. Some people are bothered by their cheeks losing volume, or even sagging, with age. Others never develop the desired volume in their cheeks and are bothered by cheeks that may be considered flat or thin.
Valid surgical options for augmenting and enhancing the cheeks are fat grafting/transfer (where a patient’s own fat is used) or the use of solid cheek implants. A nonsurgical option is the use of injectable fillers to enhance the cheeks, which is covered on the dermal fillers page.
Cheek reduction (buccal fat removal)
Full cheeks oftentimes can give the impression of youth and vitality. However, excessively puffy chipmunk cheeks are less than desirable. If you are concerned about the appearance of your cheeks, then buccal fat extraction, also known as a cheek reduction, may be the best option for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Chin augmentation surgery is usually performed to augment an under-projected chin. Typically, this is accomplished by placement of an implant directly on the bone. A small incision is made either inside the mouth or underneath the skin of the chin. After the implant is placed, the incision is then closed with sutures. Mild swelling may occur for a few days, and patients usually are able to return to work within a week.
Chin reduction surgery, or chin shaving surgery, is performed to reduce a prominent or over-projected chin. The surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure. A small incision is made either inside the mouth or underneath the skin of the chin. Excess bone is removed, and the chin is contoured to the desired shape. The incision is closed with sutures.
