Enhance Your Facial Contours
Chin and cheek implants are cosmetic procedures designed to enhance the contours of your face, providing a more balanced and harmonious appearance. These implants can address concerns related to facial proportions, asymmetry, or a lack of definition. By augmenting the chin or cheeks, you can achieve a more defined and aesthetically pleasing profile.
At Alpine Surgical Arts, our skilled team is dedicated to helping you achieve your desired facial aesthetics through chin and cheek implants. Dr. Haghighi and Dr. Rowan bring extensive experience and expertise to each procedure, ensuring that you receive exceptional care and outstanding results.

Why Opt For Chin or Cheek Implants?
Chin Implants: A chin implant, also known as a mentoplasty, is often chosen to improve facial balance by projecting a recessed chin forward. This can create a stronger, more defined jawline and improve overall facial symmetry. Ideal candidates for chin implants may have a weak or receding chin that affects their profile.
Cheek Implants: Cheek implants, or malar implants, are used to enhance the prominence of the cheeks, giving them a fuller and more youthful appearance. This procedure can correct flat or underdeveloped cheekbones, adding volume and contour to the midface.
Some individuals may choose to undergo both chin and cheek implants simultaneously to achieve a comprehensive facial enhancement, aligning the facial features for a more harmonious look.
The Procedure for Chin or Cheek Implants
Initial Consultation: The process begins with a comprehensive consultation with your surgeon to discuss your aesthetic goals and evaluate your facial structure. Detailed imaging and measurements may be taken to create a tailored treatment plan.
Preparation: On the day of the procedure, you will receive anesthesia to ensure a comfortable and pain-free experience. Depending on the complexity, either local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia may be used.
Implant Placement
Chin Implants: Your surgeon will make a small incision inside the mouth, under the chin, or along the gum line. The implant, usually made of silicone or a biocompatible material, is then positioned in front of the jawbone. Once in place, the incision is closed with sutures.
Cheek Implants: Incisions are typically made inside the mouth or under the lower eyelid. Your surgeon carefully positions the implant over the cheekbone area. After ensuring proper placement and symmetry, the incisions are closed.
Recovery: Post-procedure, you may experience some swelling and discomfort. Most patients can resume normal activities within a week, although it’s important to follow the surgeon’s post-operative care instructions for optimal results.
Final Results: As the swelling subsides, you’ll begin to see the final results of your chin or cheek implants. The enhancements should provide a more balanced and harmonious facial appearance.
