Chin and Cheek Implants

Chin & Cheek Implants
Tijuana, Baja California, MX

High cheekbones and a strong jaw line are very striking facial features. Someone who doesn’t have a naturally attractive chin or cheeks may opt to have implants placed to enhance these features. Dr. Fuentes offers mentoplasty (placement of chin implants) to improve the symmetry and balance of the face, as well as malarplasty (placement of cheek implants) to add to the fullness or definition of the face. These procedures — performed singularly or in combination — can produce an incredible facial transformation.

Am I a Candidate for Chin / Cheek Implants?

If you identify with one or more of the following statements, chin or cheek implants may be right for you:

I have a small or recessed chin
I’d like a more defined facial profile
My jaw, chin or cheeks lack distinction
I want to bring my facial features into better proportion
My cheeks look very hollow due to heredity or aging
I’d like my cheeks to appear higher and fuller

Chin Implants in Tijuana

During chin surgery in Tijuana, Dr. Fuentes places an implant in front of the jawbone to enhance the chin or jaw. He begins by making a small incision inside the mouth or below the chin on the outside of the face. Then, he inserts the implant and positions it in a pocket.

Cheek Implants in Tijuana

Board-certified Mexico plastic surgeon Dr. Fuentes makes incisions either inside the mouth, through the lower cheek or at the bottom of the eyelid and carefully positions the cheek implants. Malarplasty may be combined with a facelift to treat skin that has started to sag with age.

After placing the chin or cheek implants Dr. Fuentes closes the incisions with stitches and bandages or tapes the area. Both chin and cheek surgery last from 30 minutes to an hour. The implants are crafted from strong, durable materials that last for many years without problems.

Recovering from Chin or Cheek Surgery

The bandages applied after surgery should reduce the chances of swelling. The most critical recovery instruction is to rest and avoid unnecessary movements in the days following your Tijuana chin or cheek implants surgery. Wait until Dr. Fuentes checks your progress and clears you to return to your normal routine and exercise activities. Any pain after surgery can be treated with oral medication. Dr. Fuentes may advise a liquid diet for several days, and recommend using cold compresses to quell facial swelling and bruising. Should any potential problems crop up, be sure to contact Dr. Fuentes immediately.
