FACIAL CONTOURING
(plastic surgery of the profile)
INTRODUCTION:
The profile of your face is provided primarily by your forehead, your nose, your cheekbone, your jaw and your chin.
FACIAL CONTOURING AIM TO CORRECT THE HARD TISSUES OF THE FACE.
Most patients’ complaints for the nose, malar eminences or the chin region. For the plastic surgery of the profile, the more frequent modification is made in the nose.
PLASTIC SURGERY OF THE CHIN:
Many patients have the typical receding facial profile, with a convex nasal dorsum and small lower jaw. The soft tissue of the chin is several to many millimeters behind the aesthetic profile line. A generally convex nasal dorsum and prominent osteocartilaginous vault contribute to the receding nature of the profile. Facial contouring surgery that doesn’t affect the occlusion is often the best choice: rhinoplasty with chin augmentation (GENIOPLASTY).
Genioplasty includes both alloplastic implant and osteotomy procedures.
Alloplastic augmentation is ideal for patients whose only requirement is less than 5 mm of projection and/or 1 cm of transverse widening. We use SILASTIC IMPLANTS.
Nowadays, we have another possibility as THE BIOPLASTIA (filler with synthetic product, PMMA).
Cervical liposuction often complement the facial contour alteration simultaneously with the skeletal surgery.
PLASTIC SURGERY OF THE MALAR REGION:
Augmentation of the malar complex with alloplastic implants and liposculpture of the midfacial fat pad will help the patient achieve that high cheekbone and hollow cheek look so desired.
