Hello Interloper!

First and foremost, an individual must be in good health, not have any active diseases or existing medical conditions and must have realistic expectations of the outcome of the surgery.
For chin and cheek implants, any problems with bone disorders may make you unsuitable for this type of procedure.
You should not have been on isotretinoin for the last 6 months or sometimes more. This drug causes excessive facial bone growth, called Hyperostosis, and increased scarring after skin disturbance such as is caused by an implant operation.
If you are prone to keloid (red, angry, raised) scars, or have a history of problems with wound healing your practitioner may not recommend this procedure or may caution you that scars could be raised and very visible.
