If one seemingly unimportant feature on the face is disproportionately small, it can throw everything else off balance. For instance, if the chin is too small, the nose looks too large. If the cheek bones are too small, the face can seem one-dimensional. People come to our Louisiana plastic surgery practice wondering if there are any options to help them improve their facial contour.

Those who desire more proportion and symmetry are often pleased with the results of a facial augmentation, which is used to bring features into balance in order to improve the overall appearance of the face. Most commonly, the chin or cheeks will be augmented, which can offer pleasing results to those who are bothered by a specific facial feature. Facial implants can be combined with other Louisiana facial plastic surgery procedures such as rhinoplasty or a face lift to achieve a complete makeover.

To learn more about facial augmentation, request a consultation online or call our office at (318) 562-1433. Conveniently located in Shreveport, we serve patients from Louisiana, Arkansas, and Texas, and offer a complete array of cosmetic surgery and skin care treatments through Jade MediSpa.
