Combining Facial Procedures for a Better Profile

February 14th, 2018 | Posted in: Combination Surgery |

Your profile is one of your most distinctive features. The combination of lines and curves of your face can create something beautifully structured. A strong balance of facial features (and a strong profile) is often looked at as society’s ideal of beauty. However, you may feel unhappy or dissatisfied with one (or more) features on your face. Not only will this affect your facial appearance, but it can also affect the overall look of your profile. If you feel your features are unbalanced or disproportionate, there is a solution. Dr. Chiu offers a number of procedures designed to help you feel more confident with the appearance of your face and profile. Any of the facial procedures we offer can be combined to help you achieve your perfect look.

Rhinoplasty

Your nose is the most prominent feature on your face, and if your nose is not balanced, neither is your profile. Rhinoplasty, or nose surgery, can improve multiple physical imperfections to give your face balance. Through the removal or addition of cartilage, the procedure is effective at changing the size and shape of the nose. When adjusted to the right size, your nose will be the perfect centerpiece for a better-structured profile. Additionally, rhinoplasty is effective at adjusting the symmetry and angle of your nose. When your nose is positioned better, it’s a better focal point for your profile.

Chin Augmentation

If you choose to undergo rhinoplasty, you may also consider having a chin augmentation. A chin augmentation can help correct a weak profile. If your chin does not have a sharp contour, it can blend in with the lower half of the face or neck. This creates a face with seemingly no lower structure. During chin augmentation surgery, Dr. Chiu places an implant into your chin, providing you with a structured jawline. This, especially in conjunction with rhinoplasty, creates the foundation of a strong facial structure.

Cheek Augmentation

Cheek augmentation is often performed with chin implantation, and it is designed to give structure and definition where it is lacking. Dr. Chiu places small cheek implants into the tissue of your cheek to emphasize this area of the face. Besides implants, augmentation to your cheeks can also be customized with fat grafting. This uses fat from another area of your body and becomes permanent after the surrounding facial tissues grow into the fat to keep it in place. Cheek augmentation enhances your profile by providing balance and symmetry to your face and improving the proportion of your features.

Neck Lift

As you age, the skin on your neck loses elasticity and begins to sag. This can cause a further lack of definition in your profile, especially between your chin and neck. During neck lift surgery, Dr. Chiu will remove fat with liposuction and tighten the neck muscles giving your neck a slender appearance. A neck lift can provide you with the final touch on a structured profile.
