Facial Implants
Q:
I have had cheek implants for approximately ten years. Would removal of these implants result in any kind of deformity in my face?
Q:
I’m considering having cosmetic plastic surgery. What type of surgery might be recommended to make my jaw line more defined/stronger?
Q:
I am considering chin augmentation, but I don't know whether or not my complaint can be fixed. My complaint is this: Not only do I have a small chin in profile, but from the bottom of my bottom lip to the indentation where my chin actually starts, there is a big space, about an inch. I actually want my chin to "start" right below my bottom lip, not an inch below it. I was wondering if this can be changed through surgery, and if it can, will there be massive scarring or an artificial look?
Q:
I'm very interested in facial implants. I have a few questions: 1) Can they be felt and seen through the skin after? 2) What is the best material for them, Gore-Tex or silicone? 3) Can I wear them for my whole life or I will I need to swap them in 10-15 years? 4) Is there any chance my cheeks will be asymmetrical?
Q:
I see lots of information on chin augmentation but have yet to see any articles on chin reduction. Is there anything that can be done for someone who has a protruding chin?
