Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between fillers and implants for chin or cheek augmentation?
Temporary fillers offer a short-term way to test a look, while permanent implants provide longer-lasting, more defined results in a single procedure. Your surgeon can help you decide which fits your goals.
How long does the procedure take?
Chin and cheek augmentation typically takes 30 minutes to one hour, performed under local anesthesia or IV sedation.
How long is recovery?
Most patients return to work in less than a week and see a normal appearance within two weeks. High-impact activity should be avoided for about six weeks.
Is scarring noticeable after implant placement?
Because incisions are minimal, healing time and visible scarring are typically limited.
