Facial augmentation encompasses a range of surgical and non-surgical procedures designed to enhance, reshape, and rejuvenate the facial features. These procedures can address various concerns, including:
Facial augmentation is both an art and a science, requiring a keen aesthetic eye and surgical precision. It’s essential to have a thorough consultation to discuss individual needs, potential outcomes, and the overall treatment plan.
Identifying the right candidates for facial augmentation involves a combination of physical assessments and understanding individual desires. Here are some factors that might make someone a suitable candidate for facial augmentation:
If you have structural facial deficiencies or skeletal asymmetries then implant augmentation may be appropriate. Genioplasty (chin augmentation) is the most common facial implant procedure performed by Dr Watts but jaw, cheek and forehead implants can profoundly change our facial balance and proportions. With advancing computer analysis and planning, facial implants are entering into a new era. Customised implant design with anatomical matching of skeletal profile and precise volumetric changes mean surgical accuracy is reaching new possibilities. Traditional pre-fabricated off the shelf implants still play an integral role with significant cost savings over customised implants. When considering facial implants patients need to be aware that all material utilised is biologically compatible and has passed exacting health specifications. Facial implants however are not your own tissue and a clear understanding of their role and limitations needs to be understood. During your personalised consultation with Dr Watts you will be able to discuss your goals and desires and investigate the possibilities available for you.

Plastic surgery comes with inherent risks. While modern techniques and advancements have made these procedures safer than ever, it’s crucial for patients to be aware of potential complications and make informed decisions. Anaesthesia is used in most surgical procedures to ensure the patient’s comfort. However, in rare cases, it can lead to complications such as allergic reactions, lung infections, stroke, and even heart complications.
Also, keep in mind that all surgeries result in some form of scarring. While Dr. Watts often uses techniques to minimise and strategically place these scars, some patients might experience hypertrophic or keloid scarring, which is raised and more prominent. It’s essential for anyone considering plastic surgery to thoroughly research and understand these risks. Read more about risks and potential complications of plastic surgery.
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
