Patients undergo chin and cheek implant surgeries in order to redefine and enhance certain facial features such as their cheeks or jaw lines. This is often done for cosmetic reasons or due to a facial reconstruction need arising from a prior surgery. Prior to surgery (whether the patient is receiving implants for the chin, cheek or both), the patient will meet with their plastic surgeon to discuss realistic expectations for the procedure and discuss which facial areas they are seeking to enhance and their reasons for doing so. Prominent cheek bones and a strong chin provide balance and definition. Dr. Rodriguez of Cedar Valley ASCENT, located in Waterloo, Iowa and serving the Cedar Valley, is committed to helping define and enhance your self-confidence through chin and cheek implant surgeries. Both surgeries are outpatient procedures that generally require a shorter recovery time frame, after which normal activities can be resumed.
