What Are Chin & Cheek Implants?
While injectable fillers are excellent for adding temporary volume, Chin and Cheek Implants offer a permanent, structural solution for true facial harmony. These customized implants are placed over your existing bone structure to enhance your natural contours, providing lifelong symmetry, projection, and balance.
Cheek Implants (Mid-Face Enhancement) If you feel your face lacks definition or has a flatter, rounder appearance due to a softer bone structure, cheek implants provide an elegant solution. They create high, striking cheekbones that naturally draw light, add desirable shape, and beautifully lift the appearance of the entire mid-face.
Chin Implants (Profile Balancing) A "weak" or recessed chin can throw off your facial proportions, often making the nose appear larger or the jawline seem undefined. A chin implant creates a beautifully sculpted side profile, adding the precise amount of forward projection needed to balance your features and create a crisp, contoured jawline.

The Art of Undetectable: Natural Cheek & Chin Implant Results
One of the most common fears our patients share during facial contouring consultations is:
"I don't want to look 'fake,' 'over-filled,' or like I have an obvious implant."
We hear you. And we completely agree.
At The First Glance, our reputation is built on creating undetectable results. We specialize in elegant, subtle, and natural facial harmony. Our Double Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Brichacek avoids the sharp, exaggerated, or unnaturally wide look that comes from improper implant sizing or poor placement.
Instead, we carefully select the exact shape and dimension of the implant to seamlessly complement your unique underlying bone structure. Your facial profile will simply look beautifully balanced, naturally defined, and unmistakably yours.
Your Personalized Cheek & Chin Implant Plan
The contours of your face are the foundation of your natural beauty, which is why your surgical plan must be completely your own. Dr. Brichacek will carefully evaluate your underlying bone structure, facial symmetry, and existing soft tissue volume to customize a procedure that harmonizes perfectly with your natural proportions.
Whether your anatomy calls for a subtle chin augmentation to balance your side profile, targeted cheek implants to restore youthful mid-face projection, or a comprehensive approach utilizing both, our technique ensures a beautifully defined, sculpted result that never looks sharp, angular, or overdone.
Chin Implants
Chin implants work to improve the appearance of a weak or receding chin. This can dramatically improve the appearance of a person’s profile. A chin implant can create a stronger, more defined jawline, which can make a face look more balanced.
Different implant shapes are used in women and men. In women, the implant is more rounded in shape, which creates a more feminine appearance to the chin. In contrast, in men the implant is more square in shape, which provides a stronger and more angular chin. In both cases, chin implants can create the illusion of a slimmer face, which can be an attractive feature.
Two Types of Chin Implants
We routinely utilize 3D simulation using the advanced Vectra imaging system to simulate the appearance of the chin following chin augmentation surgery. This is only a simulation and is not completely accurate, however it can give you an idea of the changes you can expect to see following surgery, and it helps us decide what size implant is best for you.

Cheek Implants
Cheek implants, also known as malar implants, are designed to augment the cheekbones, providing a more defined and chiseled appearance. The implants are designed to create a more youthful, balanced look by adding fullness and definition to the cheeks. By making the upper third of the face larger, cheek implants can make the lower portion of the face appear slimmer, which is a desirable facial feature.
As we age, we naturally tend to lose fat volume in our cheeks. Filling the cheeks with additional volume can dramatically reduce the effects of aging and provide a refreshed and revitalized appearance. In these cases, fat grafting to restore lost fat is a better option.
Cheek implants are a better option when a more dramatic change is required. They are an excellent option in patients who have always had flat and poorly defined cheeks. They are also an excellent option in transgender patients interested in facial feminization.
Cheek implants are made of MEDPOR (porous polyethylene), a stiff material which can be carved and shaped precisely. They are placed through an incision on the inside of the mouth, and are screwed in place to the underlying cheek bone to keep them in position. The advantage of this implant is that your own bone will grow into it, making it incredibly strong. As a result, attempting to remove these implants is extremely difficult.
Cheek implants are placed under general anesthesia, and the surgery takes about 2 hours to perform.
