I am unhappy with the lack of shape and narrowness of my face -could cheek implants address this? What shape implants would be recommended? I also dislike the slight sagging /folds near my mouth, would it also address this? Second, I was thinking of getting rhinoplasty as my nose has a bulbous end / a bump on the ridge. Is there anywhere in either Brussels (or elsewhere that's more affordable? Turkey?) that people recommend for these procedure? What key questions should I ask surgeons? Thanks!

Answer: Cheek Enhancement Thanks for asking this question. These are common concerns. It is possible to enhance your cheek bone region with certain fillers and/or implants. Currently more people favor fillers as this does not require surgery. Be sure to see a physician who has experience with midface/cheek bone enhancement

Answer: Suitable cheek implant and rhinoplasty candidate? Hi, I have performed many facial shaping procedures using dermal fillers, facial implants (cheek, chin, lips), liposuction and/or facelifts for over 30 years. From the photos, your cheeks are very flat in the front, there is excess fat in the mid face, the chin is quite weak, the nose has a dorsal hump with a nasal tip that is a wide and over-projected (sticks too far off of the face). These combine to create an elongated, rectangularly shaped face. Following my facial beauty principles that I have developed over the past 30 years, women look the most feminine, youthful and attractive with heart shaped faces. Heart shaped faces have cheeks that are full and round in the front. Cheek augmentation with a dermal filler (temporary augmentation) or using silastic cheek implants (I prefer using comet shaped) for a permanent enhancement will create full, round cheeks that will feminize the entire face. I have performed many Chin Augmentations using chin implants for over 30 years. When the chin is weak, this creates an imbalance making the nose appear larger, the mid face top heavy and the lower face look short that de-emphasizes the lips and allows early formation of a double chin. Chin augmentation using a chin implant will add projection to the chin creating harmony and balance to the lower face. I have found that placement of a silastic chin implant, through a small curved incision under the chin (also allows excess skin removal) to be very safe, quick, highly effective and far less invasive than a sliding genioplasty. I perform chin implant surgery in 30 minutes or less, often using a local anesthetic alone. In my opinion, you are a good candidate for chin implant surgery. Finally, a Closed Rhinoplasty can reduce the dorsal hump and refine the nasal tip (thin and slightly reduce the over-projected tip). Hope this helps.
