Question

I want a more High cheekbone look with cheek implants and also a stronger chin with chin implants. Would I be able to achieve this? but I don't want too much dramatic look.

This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. Buccal fat pad gives slimming not symmetry. Masseter botox will make you slimmer and make the jawline more loose. Fillers help give shaping and contouring. If you want perfect or close to perfect symmetry you need maxillofacial surgery or implants customized. I suggest seeing an expert to go through all options. Most of my younger clients use fillers to give them shaping especially on the cheeks, jawline, and chin which make the face look more slim and tight; and threads such as PDO or Instalift can build collagen and support the facial shaping and skin looseness over time, slowing down the aging process and given the face a more “snatched” look; and morpheus8 or PiXel8 deep microneedling RF can tighten crepe skin especially on the neck and jawline and is great for long term tightening of the full face, neck and chest; its often used to give the face a slimmer more sculpted look because it tightens the skin and gives lift. an early face lift can be performed as well even in younger clients if they want a different facial shape, maxillofacial surgery with bone breaking or shaving can also be done. For facial slimming a combination of treatments are always needed. Options include: 1. Buccal fat pad removal to reduce fat on the lower face 2. Factite or Renuvion/J Plasma to tighten the lower face, jawline, and chin to reduce fat and give the jawline and neck tightening and shaping. 3. Botox to the masseter to reduce the muscular size of the jaw giving the face an illusion of being more slender 4. Fillers to the jawline, chin, cheeks, temples and brow help to shape the face and make it more angled and defined Always use at home derma rolling (see link to Emerageskin x anteageMD roller plus stem cells/hyaluronic acid ampules) and peels like emeragecosmetics enlighten or aerify that can be used to improve skin quality and tighten the skin while improving wrinkles, pigmentation, acne, and Melasma. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

If you're looking for both cheek and chin augmentation, but wish to avoid too dramatic changes, you may wish to consider the use of robust HA fillers for these purposes. Unlike expensive artificial implant surgeries, that are expensive, invasive and require post-surgical downtime, the use of fillers is nonsurgical, engenders little to no significant downtime and yield immediate results that typically elicit a "Wow!" reaction. What's more, should the need arise, unlike with surgical implants that require another surgery to remove them, HA fillers can be readily dissolved away. You would be wise to consult a board certified cosmetic dermatologist and best of luck.

Hello. Thank you for your question. Looking at your face from the front, I can say that you are a suitable candidate for cheek implant. You can have fuller cheekbones with cheek implant. Since you have not uploaded a photo from the side profile, I cannot see whether you are suitable for chin implant. If you want, you can reach my assistants from the number in my profile. If you send photos from more angles, I can make a better examination. Please check our Instagram account and RealSelf photos. You can get more detailed information about me, ask all your questions about your case and send your photos to my assistants via the number in my profile. You can also book an online consultation and discuss your problems with me. Best regards.

Every patient is different, and they all want a distinctive personal look. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."
Asking what implants would make you look "better" can be troublesome because only you can answer that yourself. Currently, the mirror does not reflect the person you see in your mind, and our job is to help you figure that out and help you design the perfect implants for yourself.
One of the keys to a successful custom implant procedure is for you (the patient) to spend lots of time designing with my team and going through a series of physical design iterations for you to visualize yourself with the implants. Only then will you be able to make intelligent decisions about what you feel you want and what you actually want. 
Good luck.
