Enhance Your Features: Fat Transfer Facial Augmentation

It is also possible to augment facial features with fat that has been harvested from another area of the body, treated and sterilized, and then reinjected into the desired location.

Reasons to Consider Chin & Cheek Augmentation

The three most common reasons that our patients are interested in chin and/or cheek augmentation are:

To Correct Asymmetrical Features

At the heart of our ideas of beauty is facial symmetry. Disproportionate or uneven features create a sense of being “out of balance” that can be disconcerting. Even the most beautiful individual features, if put together asymmetrically, will fall short of the aesthetic result you want and deserve. Chin and cheek implants can be subtly used to even out asymmetrical sides of the face for a more balanced, overall pleasing look.

For a More Chiseled, Striking Appearance

High cheekbones and a defined jawline have long been beauty ideals, while a recessed chin and undefined cheekbones are associated with timidity or even weakness of character. Adding that extra definition to your cheekbones and/or chin can help make a striking first impression that will communicate confidence and stand out in people’s memories.

To Mitigate the Effects of Aging on the Face

Even the most beautiful, balanced, and defined facial features are vulnerable to the effects of aging. As we get older, it is common to notice a decrease in facial volume as our skin loses its collagen and begins to sag, pulled downward by gravity. Cheeks that were once full and youthful become hollow and sunken, and definition is lost in the facial features. Chin and cheek implants or fat grafting can help with these telltale signs of aging.

What to Expect from the Procedure

Your doctor will consult with you to determine the best method of keeping you comfortable during your chin or cheek augmentation. This may include general anesthesia or intravenous sedation. Once the appropriate medications have been administered, the necessary incisions will be made – typically, these will be positioned under the hairline or inside the mouth to avoid noticeable scarring. Then the incisions will be closed, and the results of the procedure will become apparent over the course of the next weeks, as your body heals and swelling dissipates.

Chin & Cheek Augmentation FAQ

What is the difference between implants and fat transfer for chin and cheek augmentation?

How long do chin and cheek implants last?

Will implants feel noticeable or unnatural to the touch?

What are the risks associated with chin and cheek augmentation?

What is the difference between implants and fat transfer for chin and cheek augmentation?

Chin and cheek implants provide permanent structural enhancement using medical-grade materials, while fat transfer uses your own purified fat to restore volume and contour. Implants offer predictable shape and projection, whereas fat transfer provides a softer, more natural-feeling result that may change over time.

How long do chin and cheek implants last?

Chin and cheek implants are designed to be long-lasting and, in most cases, permanent. They do not need to be replaced on a routine basis unless changes are desired or complications arise.

Will implants feel noticeable or unnatural to the touch?

Once healing is complete, properly placed implants typically feel natural and integrate well with surrounding tissues. Most patients report that implants are not noticeable during normal facial movement or touch.

Can chin and cheek augmentation be combined with other facial procedures?

Yes. Chin and cheek augmentation is frequently combined with procedures such as rhinoplasty, facelift, neck lift, or eyelid surgery to improve overall facial balance. Dr. Nassif carefully plans combined procedures to maintain harmony and proportion.

How soon will I see my final results after chin or cheek augmentation?

Initial improvements are visible soon after surgery, but swelling can take several weeks to fully resolve. Final results typically become apparent within two to three months as tissues settle into their new contours.

Is chin and cheek augmentation more common for men or women?

Both men and women pursue chin and cheek augmentation. Men often seek stronger jawline and chin definition, while women may focus on enhancing cheek contours or restoring volume lost with aging. Each treatment plan is customized to the patient’s facial structure and goals.

What are the risks associated with chin and cheek augmentation?

As with any surgical procedure, risks may include infection, implant shifting, or asymmetry. Choosing a highly experienced facial plastic surgeon significantly reduces these risks and helps ensure safe, natural-looking outcomes.
