What is Cheek or Jaw Augmentation?

Cheek and jaw augmentation involves the surgical enhancement of the facial bones to improve the structure and definition of the cheeks and jawline. While cheek augmentation can be achieved with fillers, patients with a bony deficiency or flatter facial structure will benefit from synthetic implants to achieve lifelong improvement. Jaw augmentation focuses on enhancing the jawline to create a more defined profile or correct a receding, small, or weak chin.

Cheek Augmentation

Cheek augmentation is performed to add volume and definition to the mid-face area. This can be achieved with dermal fillers for a temporary solution. For a long-lasting enhancement, the placement of synthetic implants is an ideal approach. Dr. Cohen, a specialist in craniofacial surgery, carefully assesses each patient’s facial structure to plan a custom enhancement. When a cheek implant is best, a custom implant is placed through an incision, typically within the mouth. This procedure can be performed with other facial enhancement procedures, such as an eyelid lift or facelift. The implant will be secured to the cheek structure bone, providing an immediate and natural-looking enhancement that will subtly but significantly enhance your natural features.

What Can Cheek Implants Do For My Look?

Enhance Facial Contours: Cheek implants add volume and definition to the mid-face, creating more prominent, visible cheekbones.
Treat Age-Related Cheek Volume Loss: Rejuvenate a flatter facial structure associated with age-related volume loss for a refreshed, more youthful look.
Improve Facial Symmetry: Correct any facial imbalance by enhancing one or both cheeks to achieve a more symmetrical appearance.
Complement Other Features: Balance other facial features, such as the nose and jawline, for a more harmonious overall look.
Lift Facial Tissues: The cheek implants have an added benefit of subtly lifting the skin and tissues of the lower face.
Create a More Chiseled Facial Structure: A rounder facial structure in which the cheekbones are hidden can be resolved with cheek implants.

Jaw Augmentation

Jaw augmentation and chin enhancement strengthen the jawline, creating a more defined profile. This procedure benefits those who inherit a receding chin or weak jawline, affecting facial aesthetics. Dr. Cohen uses custom-shaped implants carefully placed through a small incision inside the mouth or beneath the chin. The result is a more pronounced jawline that enhances the face’s overall symmetry and aesthetic balance. In some cases, jaw augmentation can also involve adjusting the angle of the jaw to create a more masculine or feminine appearance, depending on the patient’s goals.

What Can Jaw or Chin Implants Treat?

Correct a Receding Chin: Enhance a weak or receding chin to improve the definition and balance of the lower face.
Strengthen the Jawline: Add structure to a weak jawline, creating a more defined, masculine, chiseled look.
Improve Facial Harmony: Balance the proportions of the face by aligning the jaw and chin with other features, such as the nose and forehead.
Address Facial Asymmetry: Correct asymmetries in the chin or jawline, creating a more balanced appearance.
Reduce the Appearance of a Double Chin: Enhance the jawline to reduce the appearance of a double chin and improve the overall contour of the neck and lower face.

What Are the Benefits of Cheek or Jaw Augmentation?

Enhanced Facial Structure: Custom implants for the jaw or cheek can significantly improve the definition and shape of the cheeks and jawline, creating a more elegant, chiseled facial appearance.
Balanced Proportions: By addressing bony deficiencies or enhancing natural features, these augmentations create a more harmonious balance between the facial features.
Long-Lasting Results: Implants offer a lifelong solution without regular filler injections.
Improved Confidence: A more balanced and defined facial structure can significantly boost your confidence in your appearance.

What is the Procedure?

Cheek and Jaw Augmentation are performed with local anesthesia with sedation. For cheek augmentation, Dr. Cohen will place a carefully selected synthetic implant through small incisions inside the mouth. For jaw augmentation, a small incision is made either inside the mouth or just beneath the chin, through which a custom-shaped implant is inserted and secured to enhance the chin or jawline. Dr. Cohen’s precise technique ensures that the implants are positioned accurately, are the ideal shape and size for your features, and will create a natural and balanced enhancement that complements your facial features.

What is the Recovery Time?

Recovery from cheek or jaw augmentation will involve swelling, bruising, and minor discomfort in the treated areas, which generally subsides within one to two weeks. Dr. Cohen and his team will closely monitor your recovery, providing detailed aftercare instructions and ensuring your recovery is uneventful. Most patients can return to work and light activities within a week but should avoid any strenuous activities for at least a few weeks to allow for healing. The full results of the augmentation will be revealed as the swelling fades over the following weeks.

Additional Procedures

Cheek and jaw augmentation can be performed as standalone procedures or in conjunction with other facial surgeries. For example:

Facelift: Enhance the overall rejuvenation of your face by combining augmentation with a facelift.
Eyelid Surgery: Cheek implants can be inserted through the same incision used for eyelid surgery, minimizing scarring.
Nasal Refinement: Improve facial balance further by complementing cheek or jaw augmentation with rhinoplasty.
