Cheekbone and Chin Feminization
Cheekbone and chin feminization uses implants to bring both areas forward. Your face takes on a more feminine, triangular shape: wider at the top, narrower at the bottom. Dr. Jesús Lago operates at Clínica 3 de Mayo in Madrid, for patients from the UK, Ireland and beyond.

Cheekbone and Chin Implants: Your Options
The triangle comes from the cheekbones and chin working together, so we usually treat both. In each case we go in from inside the mouth, so the scar stays hidden. The implant is permanent, but it can be removed.
We place an implant on each cheekbone through a small incision inside the mouth, above the canine teeth. You will see the result almost right away.

Our Complication Rates
We perform one facial feminization surgery (FFS) a month, counting all facial procedures together. We regularly update our complication rates by procedure and by specialty, and you can see them on our dedicated page.

We assess every request on its own merits: the need, the expected benefit weighed against the risks, your health, and how well you understand what cannot be reversed.

The price covers your preoperative assessment, the consultation, the operation, the implant and follow-up appointments, plus a blood test if needed.
It is for trans women with a square face, and for anyone who would like a more triangular face shape without bone surgery.
The implants are permanent. They are made of solid silicone, so they cannot break or leak, and they stay intact over time. If needed, we can remove them.
Inside your mouth, above the canine teeth. Nothing shows on your face.
Your face will swell a little, bruising is rare and you will see the extra volume right away. Over-the-counter pain relievers are enough to manage any pain. The stitches inside the mouth dissolve on their own; if they still bother you, we can take them out at a follow-up appointment.
The main risk is infection of the implant, precisely because we go in through the mouth. If that happens, the implant has to come out. To prevent it, we close the incision in several layers and give you antibiotics during the operation.
Not as a lasting solution. Fillers also add volume, but the product is gradually absorbed and the injections need repeating, whereas an implant stays in place. The cost is different too. If fillers suit you better, we can talk it through at your consultation.
Yes. We can place these implants during the same operation as forehead or jaw feminization, or at a separate stage. We decide the order with you at your consultation.
