Overview

These procedures improve the structure of the face to provide increased strength and shape. Poor bone structure is a sign of aging and suggests weakness.

A prominent cheekbone gives the face a more triangular look, while highlighting the eyes. This traditionally has photographed well and, in the past, has been the look of many fashion models.

Chin implants provide strength to the lower face, and produce greater facial harmony.

In both cases, augmentation is made deep under the skin on the bone so that it is concealed and not detectable. All incisions are hidden within the mouth. They can be done under local, twilight or general anaesthetic, and both have relatively fast recovery periods.
