Facial Implants Before & After Photos

A beautiful face is more than the sum of each part. Each feature of the face should balance and harmonize the whole. Often the two features most out of balance are the nose and chin. Since the nose and chin compliment each other, enhancing both at the same time is often recommended. Adding soft contours will also enhance the overall appearance of the face creating dynamic and youthful features.

Dr. Schafer only uses state-of-the-art implants made from the safest, highest quality materials. From the minimal and discreet incision sites, to the placement of the implants, and the use of safer alternative anesthesia, your implant surgery experience and recovery will be safe, constructive and efficient.
