Chin Implants / Cheek Implants

New technologies in surgical implants now make it possible to change the proportion and balance of your facial features. A chin augmentation reshapes and extends the chin in relationship to the nose, providing necessary balance to the profile. This procedure is often performed with other cosmetic procedures such as rhinoplasty, as nasal surgery alone may not significantly improve facial appearance if the chin is underdeveloped.

For patients who desire to improve his or her cheekbone structure or who wish to correct mid-facial hollows, depressions and folds caused by aging, a cheek augmentation is a good fix either performed alone or in combination with other facial procedures.

The surgical implants used by Dr. Alford at Alford Facial Plastic Surgery of Houston are medical-grade, silastic or Goretex ® forms. These man-made products have been used by surgeons for more than 30 years, and there is no evidence that either of these products has any deleterious effects on the human body, and are, thus, considered completely safe. Recovery from these relatively minor procedures is usually painless and most normal activities can be resumed within one week.
