Common Procedures
Clinical Techniques For Chin Augmentation
The necessity for a chin procedure often arises when a patient possesses a "weak" or recessed chin that makes the nose appear larger. In a professional clinical sense, this involves the placement of Facial Implants through a small incision either inside the mouth or under the chin. At Liv Hospital, we analyze the patient's skeletal foundation to ensure the implant size is proportionate. Recognizing the need for this definitive procedure is the first step toward a successful long term management plan for patients who want a stable mechanical axis for their lower face.
Understanding Malar and Submalar Cheek Augmentation

Enhancing the cheekbones is a vital clinical component for patients who experience a "flat" midface or sagging in the mid cheek area.
- Malar implants are placed high on the cheekbone for a chiseled look.
- Submalar implants address hollowing in the soft tissue below the bone.
- Combined implants provide a total restoration of midfacial volume.
Identifying these focused markers is a primary goal of our diagnostic team. Specialists at Liv Hospital look for these indicators to provide a procedure that achievements a youthful physical integrity.
Defining The Jawline With Mandibular Implants

For individuals seeking a more masculine or "alpha" jawline, specific Facial Implants are used to widen the back of the jaw.
- Utilization of implants at the mandibular angle to create a sharp border.
- Restoration of a clear transition between the face and the neck.
- Providing a definitive resolution for a blunted jaw silhouette.
In a clinical overview, these markers are often sought to improve social confidence. Professional observation at our clinic helps patients navigate these technical choices with a clear medical roadmap.
Tear Trough Implants For Under Eye Hollowing
In some clinical cases, the concern is a deep groove between the lower eyelid and the cheek.
- Targeted placement of thin implants to fill the tear trough.
- Elimination of the "tired" look that shadow patterns create.
- Restoration of a smooth dermal transition in the orbital region.
At Liv Hospital, we evaluate these systemic needs to create a surgical strategy that restores the patient's physical integrity with high anatomical accuracy.
Nasal Implants and Paranasal Augmentation
While many seek rhinoplasty, some patients actually require volume at the base of the nose.
- Facial Implants placed around the nostrils to support a recessed midface.
- Improving the projection of the central face relative to the lips.
- Correcting the "sunken" look often associated with certain skeletal types.
Clinicians prioritize this method when the structural foundation of the midface requires a mechanical boost.
Custom 3D Printed Implants for Asymmetry
Modern technology allows us to create implants that are unique to your specific bone structure.
- Utilization of 3D CT scans to map facial irregularities.
- Creation of mirror image implants to correct congenital or traumatic failures.
- Providing a high tech solution for patients with complex anatomical needs.
Identifying these biological synergy points is a hallmark of the specialized care at Liv Hospital. We ensure the surgical environment is optimized before making a definitive choice.

Temporal Implants for Temple Hollowing
The aging process often leads to a "peanut shaped" head where the temples sink inward.
- Precise placement of soft implants beneath the temporal muscle.
- Restoration of a smooth, oval facial silhouette.
- Supporting the lateral brow for a more refreshed appearance.
This high level medical logic ensures that the treatment feels efficient and supports the body’s natural biological healing.
Managing Soft Tissue with Biological Scaffolds
To the everyday person, the difference between a solid implant and a mesh can be confusing.
- Use of biological materials that allow tissue ingrowth.
- Providing a foundation for the skin to adhere to in reconstructive cases.
Specialists at our facility manage these delicate details to provide a secure environment for your transformation.
Combining Implants with Facelift Procedures
Specialized surgery is often most effective when combined with other lifting techniques.
- Simultaneous placement of Facial Implants and a SMAS lift.
- Restoration of the entire facial volume and skin tension in one event.
- Providing a comprehensive visual result that respects the patient's physiological timeline.
By identifying the patient's unique anatomy, the team at Liv Hospital can provide better guidance on long term stability.
Reaching A Definitive Procedural Decision
Identifying the exact procedural path is the first step toward a successful physical recovery. Many symptoms, such as a lack of jaw definition or hollow cheeks, are easily ignored until they impact daily life. By seeking a professional clinical overview at Liv Hospital, you ensure that the root cause is addressed with the most appropriate surgical method. We encourage you to reach out for a comprehensive evaluation to secure your future independence and physical health.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a “wrap-around” jaw implant?
A wrap-around implant is a custom-designed piece that covers the entire jawline, from the chin to the jaw angles. It provides a complete restructuring of the lower face, widening the jaw and projecting the chin in a single, cohesive unit.
Can cheek implants fix my under-eye bags?
Cheek implants can add volume to the upper cheek, supporting the lower eyelid. However, they are not a direct cure for eye bags. Often, a specific tear trough implant or a lower blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) is needed for the best result.
Do chin implants affect my teeth?
Standard chin implants sit on the front of the chin bone and do not touch the teeth or affect your bite. They are purely cosmetic. However, the surgeon must be careful not to damage the mental nerve, which provides sensation to the teeth and lips.
Is it possible to have implants in the forehead?
Yes, forehead implants exist. They are used to correct a flat or sloping forehead or to augment the brow ridge for a more masculine appearance. These are usually custom-made based on a CT scan.
How are implants secured to the bone?
Implants are typically secured using tiny titanium screws. This prevents the implant from shifting or moving after surgery. The screws are permanent but can be removed if the implant ever needs to be taken out.
