Now, thanks to modern technology, there is a safe, permanent method to correct a weak chin and provide those high cheekbones sought after by men and women worldwide.

Beauty may only be skin deep. But, for centuries, well-defined facial features have been considered traits of physical beauty.  Prominent cheek bones and a strong chin provide balance and definition to the face.  Strong chins are associated with leadership, masculinity, and honesty which is the reason why some men say it gives them more confidence at job interviews and top level management.  The same goes for high, prominent cheek bones which are associated with beauty, femininity, and supermodel sex appeal in women.  Now, thanks to modern technology, there is a safe, permanent method to correct a weak chin and provide those high cheekbones sought after by men and women worldwide.

We spoke with Los Angeles plastic surgeon Dr. Edward Terino who is not only world renowned for his accomplishments as a plastic surgery practitioner, but also as an innovator in the specialized new techniques of three-dimensional facial contouring.   He is one of the few pioneers to develop the first natural looking cheek and chin implants.  Dr. Terino says “facial implants are the only permanent and best solution to weak facial contours.  It takes about 12 months to really see the maximum results of facial implants. There is swelling involved, but when all is healed the results are beautiful”.

Facial implant procedures are often performed along with other procedures.  It’s not uncommon for rhinoplasty to be combined with chin augmentation because a weak chin may make the nose appear larger and adding definition to the chin can help to correct this.  The incisions made during facial implant surgery are typically small. For chin augmentation, the incision may be located on the inside of the mouth along the lower lip or on the skin just beneath the chin. For check augmentation, the incision may be located on the inside of the mouth on the upper lip or on the lower eyelid.

Three-dimensional computer technology currently produces a new generation of more accurate anatomic facial implants that permit more effective, long-lasting and pleasing results in facial augmentation.  This is a major step in the evolution of facial aesthetic surgery, which merges plastic surgical techniques with custom implant designs to improve the relative balance of facial features. “Facial implants not only aesthetically improve bone structure, but can also be used to help reverse the signs of aging” said Dr. Terino. “Contemporary facial implants are contoured to imitate the natural bone structure and youthful form of the overlying soft tissues”.

Chin implant surgery increased more than breast augmentation, Botox and liposuction combined last year with both men and women opting for the procedure in nearly equal numbers, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.  Thanks to modern facial implants, tens of thousands of Americans are achieving the shapely chins and cheeks that bring balance and contour to their face.
