I want my face reshaped to look more esthetically pleasing

Question:

I want my face reshaped to look more esthetically pleasing. Chin implants would help my profile and I would like cheek implants to give some definition to my face. If this can be done under local anesthesia, is the recovery time less? Would I be able to get back to work sooner?

Answer:

Cheek and chin implants can be done under local anesthesia, but it is much nicer to have them done under sedation or general anesthesia. Having sedation or general anesthesia does not prolong the recovery.
