 The skin over the face is analogous to a drape. The shape of the face is determined by the underlying skeletal framework. In some individuals, this framework is not as pronounced as in other individuals and they may appear to have a flattened face or small, recessed chin.
Your doctor is able to add facial implants to the facial skeleton to accentuate the areas of the cheek bone, chin, nose and angle of the lower jaw. By performing these skeletal augmentations, they are able to redrape and tighten the skin of the face. This provides a more healthy and youthful appearance without the need for a more extensive face lift procedure. The surgery is performed from within the mouth with no visual scars. Immediate results are evident. |
