When we talk about reshaping the face we think of these five procedures.
You may be born with a nose that seems too large or you may have had an injury that changes the shape. In either case there is an operation to change the appearance of the nose. This is a Rhinoplasty or nose job.
Many children are born with ears which protrude too far from the head. This causes the "dumbo ear" appearance and is often very embarrassing. The problem is corrected by a combination of stitching and reshaping the ear cartilage, to bring it closer to the head.
CHIN: Genioplasty (chin implantation or reshaping)
If the chin does not develop fully it may appear receding or weak. To correct this problem the chin is brought forward by adding an implant over the prominence of the jaw or reshaping the underlying bone.
CHEEKS: Malarplasty (cheek implantation)
In some people the prominence of the cheek is underdeveloped and this leads to flat cheek bones. For some people this can accentuate the effects of aging. It is corrected by placing an implant over the prominence of the cheek.
FACIAL FAT: Liposuction (fat suctioning)
As with many areas of the body the fat can be suctioned to reshape the face. The most common areas are in the neck under the chin, the fold between the nose and the corner of the mouth and the jowl area.
