Chin and Cheek Augmentation

Neck Liposuction

Buccal Fat Removal


A well defined facial skeletal structure gives balance to the face 
and is an integral part of one's profile.  When we look in the mirror, 
we are more likely to take note of the shape of the nose, ears, and the 
signs of aging such as jowling and fine lines and wrinkles than the chin and 
cheeks which are the underlying framework of the face.  Facial plastic 
surgeons such as Doctor Jacono always analyze the face as a whole.  
Often a weak chin and cheek bone structure can detract from the results 
of a nose reshaping surgery (rhinoplasty) or facelift surgery.
Augmentation of the chin and cheeks is sometimes necessary to achieve facial
balance and harmony.

Chin augmentation surgery is performed through a small incision in the natural
crease line just underneath the chin, and cheek augmentation is performed through
a small incision in the mouth.  Doctor Jacono gently stretches the tissue, creating 
a space to where an implant can be placed over the deficient bone of the
skeleton.  Fine sutures are used to close the incisions, and the scar is usually 
imperceptable.

Another possibility for improvement with a poorly defined facial structure is 
Liposuction or a Buccal Fat Removal.  Submental liposuction (liposuction under the neck) 
removes excess fatty tissue to help further define the chin and the neckline. The cheeks can be 
better defined by performing a Buccal Fat Extraction.  Buccal Fat Extraction 
removes the fat underneath the cheek skeletal structure through a hidden incision 
inside the mouth.

Prior to surgery all patients receive a complete physical examination and are 
started on vitamin supplementation and homeopathic therapies to enhance healing 
after surgery.  Research has shown that surgical results are improved when these 
regimens are part of your surgical treatment.

Jacono's Blepharoplasty patients.  These are actual results and have not been 
altered for presentation here.
