About Facial Implants
Facial implants (such as cheek or chin implants) can give your face a more balanced look. Does your chin recede and get lost underneath your nose and smile? Does your face appear rounded, lacking strong cheekbones and definition? Many women and men increase their self-confidence and attain a more defined facial appearance with chin and cheek facial implants in Boca Raton. You can be assured that you are in good hands when you request a FREE consultation with Dr. Steven Schuster or Dr. Daniel Kovacs. Patient, caring plastic surgeons in Boca Raton, Dr. Schuster and Dr. Kovacs will, first of all, consider your individual needs carefully and let you know all of your facial sculpting options.
The Basics – Boca Raton Chin Implants & Cheek Implants
Chin implants and cheek implants, collectively called facial implants, balance your facial features by building up areas that appear weak or undersized. Women and men, from teenagers to seniors, appreciate the improved facial contours that chin and cheek implant plastic surgery in Boca Raton provides. If you are interested in chin implants and cheek implants, chances are there are additional improvements you’d like to make to your face, such as ear pinning. Dr. Schuster and Dr. Kovacs often combine this procedure with a Boca Raton facelift, nose surgery or eyelid surgery to create an overall balanced and proportioned look to the face.
Our surgeons specifically select the proper size and shape of facial implants that will enhance your facial structure with plastic surgery in Boca Raton. For chin implant surgery, the surgeon creates a small incision that is out of sight, either just under the chin or inside the mouth along the lower lip. Afterwards, the surgeon creates a pocket behind the chin for the implant. For cheek implant surgery, Dr. Schuster or Dr. Kovacs will make incisions inside the mouth or lower eyelid through which they insert the implants and secure them in place. Each procedure usually takes under an hour to perform. After surgery, a dressing is placed over the surgical areas for support and to minimize swelling and discomfort. If your implant surgery is performed in conjunction with other facial sculpting procedures such as a facelift or brow lift, Dr. Schuster or Dr. Kovacs can insert the implants through the same incisions. The length of the entire surgery increases with additional procedures, but patients benefit from a single recovery period.

How Much Do Facial Implants Cost?
Facial implant cost varies based on the area treated, the number of implants, and your anatomy. Combining procedures or facility fees can also affect pricing.
At Schuster Plastic Surgery, your procedure is performed by board-certified surgeons in an accredited surgical center. During your consultation, you will receive a clear, detailed cost breakdown so you know exactly what to expect.
Am I a Candidate for Facial Implants?
Facial implants may be right for you if you want to strengthen a weak chin, define a flat jawline, or improve cheek balance. Most candidates are healthy adults with realistic expectations.
You may qualify if your chin, jaw, or cheeks lack projection, you have completed facial growth, and you do not smoke or can pause before surgery. Many patients choose implants after non-surgical options no longer provide enough structure.
Implants are not advised if you have an active infection, uncontrolled medical concerns, or limited bone support. We will evaluate your anatomy and goals during your consultation to recommend the safest, most appropriate option.
What to Expect During the Treatment Process
Facial implant surgery is an outpatient procedure, meaning you go home the same day. It is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of your plan.
Our surgeons use intraoral incisions whenever possible, small, hidden cuts placed inside the mouth, to avoid visible scarring on the face. Through these incisions, they create a pocket between the bone and the implants, which are designed to integrate naturally with your tissue.
The procedure typically takes 1–2 hours. Mild swelling and discomfort are normal in the first week. Most patients return to light activity within 7–10 days and see their final results settle over 6–8 weeks.
