What Are Facial Implants?
Facial implants are a terrific option for patients who desire a stronger, sharper jawline or better-defined cheekbones.
Facial implants are inserted into the chin and cheek areas through discreet incisions. Once in place, facial implants enhance the contours of your face and complement the definition and symmetry of your other facial features.

View on GoogleHow and Where Is Treatment Done?
We are located near Philadelphia in Paoli, PA. At a glance, here's what you need to know about facial implant surgery at our Main Line office:
- Dr. Hove will insert your implant through a small, easily concealed incision.
- Depending on the procedure, local anesthesia is all that is needed for your comfort.
- Many surgical procedures are performed at his state-of-the-art practice.
Facial Implants Placed by Dr. Hove
Dr. Hove only uses high-quality implants made of stable FDA-approved material such as solid silicone or ePTFE, aka Gore-Tex®. These amazing materials feel just like part of your normal bone structure.
Chin Implants
- A small or recessed chin can easily tip the facial balance toward the nose or upper face. Often this gives a perception that the nose is too large, when in fact, the nose is completely proportionate to the face, and the chin just needs “a little help.”
- A chin implant can restore that harmony. Inserting a chin implant is straightforward, and can be performed quickly through a small incision under the chin or inside the lip. If done alone, this often requires just local anesthesia.
- Dr. Hove will take measurements and use a custom mold for the best size and shape required for your anatomy.
- The procedure is completely reversible if you change your mind. The satisfaction rate with chin implants is very high and, to date, Dr. Hove has never removed a chin implant because a patient was dissatisfied with the result.
Cheek Implants
Reasons for Cheek Augmentation
Usually, Dr. Hove uses cheek augmentation in one of two circumstances:
- When a patient seeks to correct lower eyelid “bags,” but in fact, the cheekbones are just weak or recessed.
- When a patient wants to restore lost cheek volume to bring back a youthful appearance to the midface.
The Cheek Implant Procedure
Depending on your anatomy, the cheek implants can be inserted through an incision hidden in the lower eyelid or inside the upper lip.
Like chin implants, Dr. Hove uses his artistic and surgical skills to custom-size the implants to complement your natural features.
This procedure typically requires sedation or general anesthesia.
