Cheek Implants

In some people the chin may not project forwards in proportion to the rest of their face. In this situation an implant inserted in front of the chin bone can improve the overall harmony of the face. A variant of this operation does not require an implant and is where the chin bone is cut and physically moved forwards and fixed in its new position (genioplasty). Although this operation can be performed on its own it is quite often carried out in combination with other facial surgery such as a rhinoplasty (nose re-shaping) to provide overall harmony to the face. The operation is best carried out under general anaesthetic and usually requires an overnight stay in hospital.
