Facial Implants in Jackson and Flowood, MS
Add Definition Where Your Profile Needs It Most
A jawline, cheek, or chin that lacks projection or definition can affect the overall balance of your face, even when every other feature is exactly as you'd like it. Because our team includes board-certified/eligible surgeons with decades of combined experience in facial procedures, we approach facial implants in Jackson, MS, with close attention to how each feature relates to your profile as a whole.
What Are Facial Implants?
Facial implants are surgically placed devices used to enhance the structure and projection of specific facial features. The most common areas include the jaw, cheeks, and chin, each addressing a different aspect of facial balance and each using an implant shaped and sized for that particular area. Many patients address more than one area at once, since these features are closely related in how they affect overall facial harmony.
Jaw
Jaw implants add width, angle, or projection to a jawline that appears narrow or underdeveloped, typically placed through an incision inside the mouth.
Cheek
Cheek implants enhance volume and definition in the midface, addressing flat or naturally low cheekbones, and are placed either inside the mouth or along the lower eyelid.
Chin
Chin implants increase chin projection to improve balance with the rest of the profile, most often placed beneath the chin or inside the mouth.
Are Facial Implants Right for Me?
Facial implants in Flowood, MS, are a good option for patients looking to add definition or balance to the jaw, cheeks, or chin, whether that's one area or a combination. During your consultation, we'll evaluate your facial structure and goals to determine which areas would benefit most from an implant.
