Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

A dimple in the chin could be affected by the placement of a chin implant, but dimples in the cheeks should not be affected.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Implants are still a great option once you are 100% positive that you are ready for a permanent enhancement.​ I suggest getting a consultation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert; our practice is located right here in Los Angeles. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you so much for your question. In general, a
chin implant should not affect the appearance of cheek dimples. It should only
build the look of the more defined chin that you desire. I hope this
information helps and I wish you the best of luck.

Dimples in the cheeks will not be affected by a chin implant. Dimples or clefts in the chin can change but it is unusual as chin implants are typically placed just over the bone (subperiosteal) and your cleft is an overlying soft tissue contour it should still be there after implants are placed.#dimpleafterimplant#chinimplant

Cheek dimples are not affected by a chin implant.  For patients with a dimple in the chin, a surgeon can attempt to either erase or maintain a dimple depending on technique but will not be able to guarantee the success of either.Consult with your surgeon to determine if chin implantation is important and any potential changes it will create to the surrounding tissues.

Raymond E. Lee, MD · Answer

Thanks for asking.  A chin implant is an excellent procedure allowing for a balanced profile. A silicone implant is the most common and it lays right right on the bone.  This placement and location of the implant will not affect your cheek dimples.  Best of luck!
