CHIN AND CHEEK AUGMENTATION
A surgical treatment called chin and cheek augmentation uses fat or implants to surgically improve the facial structure. While cheek augmentation—also known as malar augmentation—creates a fuller, more sculpted-looking cheek appearance, chin augmentation, also known as mentoplasty or genioplasty, increases the projection of the chin. With permanent, consistent results, these operations can dramatically increase your profile and face definition, enhancing your beauty.
WHAT IS THE CHIN AND CHEEK AUGMENTATION PROCESS?
CHIN AUGMENTATION
IMPLANTS:
- A general anaesthetic is used during IMPLANTS.
- Depending on the techniques being used, procedures typically last 30 minutes to an hour.
- Dr. Manwani often places an implant in the proper area after making an incision within the mouth or beneath the chin.
- Occasionally, rather than placing an implant, Dr. Manwani will create an incision inside the mouth and relocate the chin bone.
- The incision is stitched up to encourage healing.
FAT GRAFTING:
- Liposuction is a procedure used to remove fat from a donor area, usually the buttocks or abdomen.
- The fat is then refined and carefully injected to provide definition to the chin’s target locations.
CHEEK AUGMENTATION
IMPLANTS:
- A general anaesthetic is used during IMPLANTS.
- Incisions are made in the upper lip or lower eyelids if Dr. Manwani performs cheek augmentation alone.
- Dr. Manwani use the same incisions for the other operation if it is done with a procedure on the face.
- Through the incisions, Dr. Manwani places the implants to enlarge the cheeks.
- The incisions are closed with sutures to speed up healing.
FAT GRAFTING:
- Liposuction is used to remove fat from the buttocks or abdomen.
- Purified fat is injected into the cheeks to replace decreased volume as people age.
RECOVERY AND RESULTS
Dr. Manwani will advise an overnight stay or send you home to rest following surgery depending on your health. Cold packs and painkillers can help with the occasional soreness, small bruising, and little swelling. Your face could feel constricted and constrained. During your rehabilitation, it’s crucial to adhere to all dietary and exercise limitations as well as specific oral hygiene guidelines. There will also be pain in the donor locations if fat grafting is done.
Any oral stitches will gradually disappear in 7 to 10 days. While some movement may still be restricted when speaking and smiling, the majority of the edoema and bruising should have subsided. Your liposuction’s sutures will be taken out.
After two weeks, the majority of patients are prepared to return to their regular jobs.
Any numbness should go away in one to two months, and the facial tissues should have adjusted well to the implant(s) or transferred fat, allowing for greater range of motion. Your facial structure will be more defined and balanced, and the effects will be more obvious.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Candidates for facial implants should be in good physical and mental health. They must not be allergic to the implant materials and have reasonable expectations. The donor locations of candidates for face fat grafting must have sufficient fat reserves. In order to evaluate whether chin augmentation, cheek augmentation, or another operation would best achieve their goals, interested applicants should thoroughly discuss their objectives with Dr. Manwani.
There are some risks involved in every cosmetic operation. A second procedure can be required if facial implants ever move out of position. Implant removal may be necessary in the event of infection (although reinsertion of the implants may be possible in the future). Certain implant kinds could come with unusual risk including allergic reactions. The risk of an allergic reaction does not exist with facial fat grafting. However, a number of surgeries might be required because part of the transferred fat cells won’t survive. The dangers will be discussed with you at your consultation with Dr. Manwani.
The ultimate effects of chin and cheek augmentation may not become apparent for several weeks or months. As you heal, the results typically get better over time, displaying superior facial features.
Scarring should typically be hidden below the hairline, within the lips, or beneath the eyelids. If an incision is made behind the chin, the scar is small, unnoticeable, and probably will disappear over time. If fat grafting is done, incisions are made for the liposuction phase of the treatment. Although they will likely be tiny and dissipate over time, scars could form.
