Facial Implants in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, & Glendale, CA
A Facial Implants in Glendale helps to restore a more youthful appearance to your face.
Not everyone is fortunate enough to have a perfectly proportioned face. Most of us have some degree of facial asymmetry. Chin and cheek implants in Glendale can create a more balanced appearance if you have concerns about looking lopsided or having features that are not as prominent or well-defined as you’d like.
New, technologically advanced materials provide Dr. Martin Stepanyan with a safe, permanent way to enhance your chin and provide you with chiseled cheekbones. These procedures can often postpone the need for a full facelift by improving the contour and restoring sagging tissue under your chin and in the midface area.
Chin Implants
A small or underdeveloped chin can adversely affect your facial balance by making your nose appear more prominent and blurring the line of demarcation between your jawline and neck. Aesthetic chin surgery, known as genioplasty, can improve your profile by correcting these issues. Chin augmentation with implants is the procedure of choice for most patients with normally functioning teeth and jaw development.
During this procedure, Dr. Stepanyan will place a durable, biocompatible implant over your lower jawbone to add contour and definition. Genioplasty is often an excellent choice for people who want to augment naturally weak chins. Results can be subtle or pronounced, depending on your preference.
Cheek Implants
Well-defined cheekbones are a universal beauty standard. Without them, your face may appear sunken or gaunt, with prominent undereye hollows. Cheek augmentation can permanently restore volume lost to age or create definition if your cheeks lack natural contours. Making your cheekbones look more prominent will enhance your midface structure in ways that flatter your natural anatomy.
Dr. Stepanyan offers customized results with cheek implants, adding youthful contours without looking disproportionate. Cheek and chin implants consist of polytetrafluoroethylene, a medical-grade material used safely in millions of patients worldwide. Dr. Stepanyan can adjust them in the rare event that they shift with time.

Achieve Sculpted Definition With Facial Implants
Chin and cheek implants offer a lasting way to enhance structure, restore balance, and refine contours – especially in areas with diminished or naturally limited bone volume.
With no reported allergic reactions and a wide range of shapes and sizes, these implants are fully customizable to suit your anatomy and aesthetic goals.
Ideal candidates are healthy nonsmokers who have realistic expectations and are free from conditions that may interfere with healing. After talking with you about your goals, Dr. Stepanyan will tell you whether you are well-qualified for facial implants and complementary procedures like rhinoplasty and blepharoplasty.
Are Facial Implants Safe?
The material is expanded Polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) which has been used in millions of patients around the world with no reported cases of allergic reaction. These implants come in a variety of sizes and shapes and can be trimmed to fit each individual.
What Can I Expect During and After Los Angeles Chin/Cheek Implant Surgery?
Dr. Stepanyan performs these procedures in his office, placing the implants through small incisions and securing them to your jawbone or cheekbones. You can choose whether you want to be under general anesthesia, IV sedation or local anesthesia.
Most patients experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort for the week following surgery. While these will gradually resolve on their own, you can speed healing by staying hydrated, sleeping with your head elevated, allowing yourself plenty of time to rest, and taking pain medication as directed by Dr. Stepanyan. Most patients feel well enough to return to work and social activities within a week to 10 days. As with most facial rejuvenation procedures, you should notice your results improving as swelling subsides. Complete healing can take several weeks. Follow all provided aftercare instructions and attend scheduled follow-up appointments so Dr. Stepanyan can evaluate your progress.
Insurance
