Dr. John A. Kotis is a premier, board-certified plastic surgeon who truly understands the male facial structure and how to best enhance the appearance with chin or cheek augmentation. These procedures can bring more definition and a more masculine structure to your face, increasing your confidence in your appearance in both business and social activities.
Chin implants are available in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and degrees of projection. The incision is placed beneath the chin above the natural jaw bone, so the thin surgical scar will be invisible once healed. The implant is placed within a surgical pocket, and the skin closed with sutures (stitches). We work closely with our male patients to help them resolve issues such as:
Receding chin
Weak chin
Small chin
Lack of chin projection
Facial profile does not have the masculine appeal you want
To create a more balanced, attractive profile
Some men were genetically programmed to have a smaller or receding chin, typically considered a flaw in our culture. Men who have these conditions are often very dissatisfied, and many now choose to correct the condition with a minor surgical procedure. The results can be a dramatic improvement in overall facial balance and appeal.
Some men feel that their cheeks are not attractive, due to lacking definition, being too flat, or giving the face a rounded appearance. Cheek implants come in a range of sizes and shapes and can create a dramatically improved facial structure, with a more masculine, defined appearance.
To achieve a more structured facial appearance requires a careful examination of the bone and soft tissue of your upper face, as this will be a customized cosmetic procedure. Cheek augmentation has an added benefit for men who are experiencing facial sagging, as the enhanced cheek volume brings lift to the skin and tissue beneath.
Some men choose to try dermal fillers to increase upper cheek volume prior to deciding on a surgical procedure. Once they see the subtle but significant improvement, they often opt to undergo surgical augmentation, so the results last a lifetime. Cheek augmentation surgery can provide the masculine definition that can improve on nature.
You no longer need to live a facial structure that you feel is too flat, lacks definition, and affects your feelings of confidence. Whether with dermal fillers or with carefully-selected cheek implants, our plastic surgery for men is performed with great care and attention to detail; we know what men want and need and cater to those needs.

The actual surgery requires very little time to complete. Most of the time needed with chin or cheek implants takes place prior to surgery – when measuring the facial structure to select the implant size, shape, and projection that will best enhance your other facial features.
The procedure itself is performed in only about 40 minutes, and you will be comfortable with local anesthetic, usually in combination with IV sedation. Recovery requires about one week to ten days, after which you are free to resume your normal activities and enjoy the positive change in your facial structure. Whether to help you in business or your personal life, you may be surprised to discover just how much better you feel and look – and the difference in how people respond to you.
