We instinctively associate symmetrical facial features with natural beauty and youth. However, most people are not fortunate enough to have perfectly prominent cheekbones and defined chins, which is why facial contouring with implants can make a noticeable difference. With this technique, Dr. Martin Stepanyan can help you achieve a more sculpted aesthetic that looks natural, promotes facial harmony, and boosts your confidence.
What Is Facial Contouring?
You have several options for improving your facial balance. Non-surgical solutions like fillers are desirable for many people due to their ability to produce immediate results that require less downtime. The only drawback is that these options are only temporary and require continued maintenance to keep results looking fresh. For this reason, many people choose surgical implants because they provide a more permanent, dramatic improvement without requiring regular maintenance.
Dr. Stepanyan uses cheek and chin implants made from a material called polytetrafluoroethylene. Surgeons worldwide have used this material in millions of procedures, giving it a long track record of safety. It is heat-resistant and doesn’t easily degrade.
Is Facial Contouring With Implants Right for You?
Your midface will lose volume with age, potentially leading to sagging or a tired appearance. Facial implants restore definition and bring balance to your cheeks and chin. By adding volume where you need it most, implants can create a more sculpted, refreshed, and energized look.
Many people choose cheek implants to restore the fullness they had in childhood or enhance naturally flat or unpronounced cheeks. This added volume can make your face appear more angular and defined. If you have a rounder face, cheek implants will sharpen your contours and reduce the appearance of hollowness or premature aging.
Chin implants are another option for improving your facial balance. Dr. Stepanyan can place an implant over your lower jawbone, adjusting your chin’s width or length to complement your profile. Whether you’re looking to elongate your face or strengthen your jawline, chin implants offer a subtle, powerful transformation.
The best part is that facial contouring with implants is fully customizable. Dr. Stepanyan will design a plan that complements your unique bone structure and aesthetic goals, ensuring results that feel natural and true to you. When timed proactively, facial implants may even delay a future facelift.
What Does a Facial Contouring Procedure Entail?
If you’re considering cheek or chin enhancement, you’ll be glad to know facial contouring with implants is straightforward, gentle, and efficient. After one of our board-certified anesthesiologists has administered general anesthesia, IV sedation, or local anesthesia, Dr. Stepanyan typically places the implants through small incisions hidden inside the mouth.
Recovering from facial implants is usually quicker than comparable procedures. Most patients return to work and daily routines within one to two weeks, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.
