Facial implants can be performed on three regions of the face. This facial cosmetic surgery can be carried out on the chin, cheeks and jaw. Implants are advised for patients who are looking to change and/or enhance their facial bone structure. Facial implants generally are less risky than orthognathic facial surgery.
An important part of the facial profile is the chin. A strong chin can help individuals look and feel younger, healthier and more attractive. A weak chin has an immense effect on your other facial features, such as making your nose look larger and your lower lip seem droopier. A receding chin also affects your facial expression by conveying a "weak" look.
Hollow flat cheeks may be enhanced by fat injections. Flat cheeks may also be augmented by surgery. There are a number of surgical cheek implants, which can augment and enhance the cheek region. These implants can be very useful in improving facial shape.

Rapid weight loss with GLP-1 medications can deflate deep and superficial facial fat compartments, exposing laxity and altering contours. These changes are structural, but fully correctable with targeted volume restoration and tissue repositioning.
A receding chin, called retrogenia, comes from either the position of the chin bone, the way the teeth meet, or age-related changes in the lower face. Treatment is highly individual. It ranges from simple contouring to full skeletal correction when the jaw is involved.
Preservation rhinoplasty is an advanced surgical technique that refines the nose while preserving its natural anatomy. Unlike traditional rhinoplasty, which often involves removing or reshaping large portions of cartilage and bone, preservation rhinoplasty focuses on maintaining structural integrity. This approach reduces trauma to the nasal tissues and supports more predictable, natural results.
A broken nose leaves a mark that time alone rarely smooths out. The swelling goes down, the bruises fade — yet something about the shape feels off. One side may look flatter, the bridge uneven, breathing less freely than before. For many Albertans, those after-effects last years.
Some people hardly notice it until a photo catches them mid-smile — the nostrils lift and widen, pulling the attention downward. Others see it every day in the mirror and wonder if there’s a way to make that base of the nose a little narrower.
Both techniques can look wonderfully natural. They simply travel different roads to get there. At our clinic, Dr. Kristina Zakhary performs a refined controlled SMAS-based Optimum Mobility Facelift — a measured, anatomically respectful operation designed to mobilize what needs to move and leave the rest undisturbed. We do not perform deep plane facelifts.
