I have always felt very self-conscious about my appearance because I feel as if my face is too flat

Question:

I have always felt very self-conscious about my appearance because I feel as if my face is too flat.  I want to get facial implants in my cheeks and chin.  Is it possible to have the implants put in both locations during the same surgery?  Will this make the recovery any more difficult for me?

Answer:

Yes, there is no problem placing cheek and chin implants at the same time.  It makes sense to do them at the same time so that there is only one trip to the operating room with only one anesthetic.  It is also more cost effective to do both procedures at the same time.  The recovery may be slightly more uncomfortable doing both, but niether procedure is very painful.
