Well-defined, proportional facial features, including cheeks, chin, neck, and ears, are important aspects of an attractive appearance. Whether you want to improve on nature or restore a more youthful profile, there are a number of safe, minimally invasive procedures that can be performed individually, or in conjunction with other facial procedures. A frequent procedure combination for the midlife man is eye and/or brow lift with jaw and neck contouring, addressing the two most common signs of aging at the same time.

Enhancing a recessed or "weak" chin can bring immediate balance to a face. This is easily achieved by inserting an implant through a small incision under the chin. Better definition of the jaw and neckline is possible with small volume liposuction. For protruding ears, a simple procedure can bring them into a more pleasing position.

Restoring youthful volume and contour to the cheeks is possible in a number of ways, using implants, fat transfer, or injectable fillers, depending upon individual requirements and the desired result. Deep vertical lines between the nose and mouth (nasolabial folds), or mouth and chin (marionette lines) can be filled and smoothed with fat or injectable fillers, and thin lips can be subtly enhanced. Ask Dr. Martin to discuss how you might achieve a more balanced, harmonious profile through one or more of these contouring techniques.
