How Can I Increase My Facial Width?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I have a narrow face and would like to add facial width. Is this possible through implants? It’s just overall narrow and would like for it to be a bit wider. Also if there is are there risks? Like will it ruin facial harmony since the facial features stay the same but the bone seems widened?

A: The only way to increase facial width is with implants. The best way to assess those potential widening effects and as to determine how much widening you prefer is imaging predictions based on your own pictures. To do so I would need a non-smiling front view facial picture.
