You may be a candidate if you:

• Feel your facial structure lacks balance or definition

• Want to enhance your jawline, cheekbones, or chin

• Are seeking a more refined look after weight loss or aging

• Are in good health and have realistic expectations

Your consultation will assess your goals and anatomy to determine the best-fit procedure—such as chin implants, buccal fat removal, or jaw reshaping.

Facial contouring may include:

• Chin augmentation – adds projection and balance using a surgical implant

• Buccal fat removal – slims the lower cheeks to enhance contour

• Jawline contouring – reshapes angles for stronger definition

• Fat grafting – adds volume to flat or hollow areas

All techniques are customized to your facial structure, skin tone, and aesthetic goals.

Every surgical journey at Meadowlark begins with thoughtful preparation. Prior to your procedure, our team will guide you through a personalized plan that supports optimal healing and confidence:

• Medical-Grade Skincare: Tailored regimens to strengthen skin barrier function, reduce inflammation, and support even healing. Often includes antioxidants, exfoliants, or targeted hydration.

• Laser Pre-Treatment (if appropriate): Halo™ or BBL® laser therapy may be recommended for patients with scarring, textural irregularities, or skin tone concerns. This primes the skin for smoother post-op results.

• Collaborative Surgical Planning: Your Plastic Surgeon works closely with our Cosmetic Nurses and Laser Specialists to align timing, skin health, and follow-up care—creating a seamless, team-driven approach.

Most patients experience:

• Light activity resumed within 7–14 days

• Bruising and swelling decreasing over 2–3 weeks

• Visible results in 2–6 weeks with some procedures such as Rhinoplasty requiring 1 year to see the final outcome

• Continued refinement as tissues settle for 3–12 months

Depending on your procedure, aftercare may include:

• Soft diet and activity adjustments for jaw/chin work

• Cold compresses and elevation to reduce swelling

• Internal or hidden incisions (e.g. inside the mouth or under the chin)

• Scar refinement and skincare support from our Cosmetic Team

While low-risk in experienced hands, facial contouring may involve:

• Temporary swelling, numbness, or asymmetry

• Mild tightness or sensitivity

• Rare issues like infection, implant shift, or minor contour adjustments

• Hidden scarring (if external incisions are needed)

All potential outcomes will be discussed during your consultation.

• Fellowship-trained, board-certified Plastic Surgeons

• Tailored plans based on your bone structure and goals

• Private, accredited surgical facility

• Integrated access to skin and scar refinement services

• Natural, proportional outcomes guided by surgical artistry
