A balanced profile
First, we assess your anatomy and your goals; then, we choose the technique. This way, we achieve a natural and harmonious result.
The Chin and cheekbone contouring in Girona group the techniques aimed at harmonise the profile and provide volume and projection to the areas that need it: from the Hyaluronic acid filler, without surgery and reversible, up to the Cosmetic facial surgery —the Mentoplasty (chin augmentation or reshaping) and the Cheekbone augmentation (malar augmentation)— when the correction is more pronounced or permanent. A well-proportioned chin and defined cheekbones balance the face, give it structure, and convey a younger, more rested expression. Like any medical procedure, it requires a Individual valuation with the specialist to choose the technique that is right for your anatomy and your goals.
What does it correct
The chin and cheekbones are key points of facial structure: when underdeveloped or asymmetrical, the face loses balance. These are the cases that are addressed on a personalised basis.
One recessed or underdeveloped chin (retrogenia) strengthens the profile and can give a feeling of a «fallen face» or a more prominent nose. In the very protruding or disproportionate chin, to reduce or reposition to achieve a natural proportion.
The nose, lips and chin are balanced
The lack of cheekbones It lends a tired and aged appearance. Replenish volume in the mid-face area.malar augmentationIt sculpts the facial features, optically lifts the cheek and restores harmony and elegance to the face.

Techniques
There isn't one single technique: the choice depends on your anatomy, the degree of correction needed, and whether you aim to augment, reshape, or reposition. These are the main options.
The Chin implant It is an anatomically designed implant for this area that adapts to the contour of the jaw and advances the chin. It is placed using a small intraoral (inside the mouth) or submental incision, and is fixed stably. It is one of the most commonly practised facial techniques with the highest satisfaction rate, as it harmonises the profile immediately.
For the Cheekbone augmentation can a Malar prosthesis measured or graft (for example, using your own fat through lipofilling) which provides natural volume to the midface. The technique is selected according to the desired volume and tissue quality, always aiming for a balanced and lasting result.
When correction requires acting directly on the bone —for a chin that is too set back, too protruding, or misaligned—, the Genioplasty it allows the bony chin to be repositioned (advanced, set back, or centred). It is a more specific technique that the surgeon will assess in selected cases.
In corrections Mild to moderate, or if you prefer to avoid surgery, there is the alternative of shaping and projecting the chin and cheekbones without surgery via Hyaluronic acid. It is a reversible outpatient procedure, ideal as a first step or for occasional touch-ups. You can consult further Hyaluronic acid filler to assess if this is your case.
The intervention
Chin and cheek surgery is usually a procedure Outpatient and not requiring hospital admission. Usually carried out under local anaesthetic or local with sedation, depending on the case and technique; for more extensive or combined interventions, general anaesthesia may be chosen. To place the prosthesis, an operation is performed Minimal incision (intraoral or submental) which is then closed with a very small stitch. It can frequently be combined with other facial surgeries, such as Rhinoplasty, to harmonise the entire face in a single surgical procedure.
Scars
One of the advantages of this surgery is its Discretion. When the chin implant is placed via Intraoral (inside the mouth), the incision remains hidden and leaves no visible scar on the skin. If the route is submental (under the chin), the incision is small and very discreet, situated in a natural crease, and with the right aftercare it is easily concealed. The surgeon chooses the surgical approach, always aiming for the best aesthetic outcome and to minimise any scarring.
