Facial Implants Vs. Injectable Fillers
Dermal fillers can make temporary, moderate improvements, but are not an ideal replacement for bone. Facial implants are the best solution for patients looking for longer lasting, defined results. Many patients find facial implants to be a lifelong solution to problem areas on their face that contribute to displeasing asymmetry and lack of definition.
Types of Facial Implants
Facial implants are most often used to create definition in the cheekbones, chin, and jawline. While these are the most popular placements for facial implants, we can meet a variety of aesthetic needs and goals.
Cheek Implants
High cheekbones are a universal signifier of youth and beauty, but even if genetics did not deliver sculpted cheekbones to you, facial implants can add definition to the midface.
Chin Implants
A recessed or “weak” chin can have a negative effect on facial harmony and proportions. A chin implant can add balance to the face.
Jaw Implants
If you would like a more defined jawline, jaw implants can deliver a naturally sculpted look.
What to Expect From Your Facial Implant Surgery
Preparing for Facial Implants
At your consultation appointment, your surgeon will examine your facial structure, review your medical history, and discuss your aesthetic goals. If you are a candidate and decide that facial implant surgery is right for you, she will take measurements and advise you on pre-surgical instructions.
Your Facial Implant Procedure
Facial implant surgery is typically an outpatient procedure performed with general anesthesia. Occasionally, local anesthesia with light sedation may be used. Incision placement will vary depending on the treatment area, and your surgeon will take care to make incisions where they can easily be hidden. For example, a chin implant may be placed through an incision inside the lower lip.
Recovery After Your Facial Implant Procedure
Recovery time will depend on a number of factors, including the type of implant and any accompanying procedures. The most common side effects during recovery are mild swelling and bruising; most patients can resume normal activities within a few days after surgery.1
Who is a Good Candidate for Facial Implants?
Men and women who are non-smokers in good general health and are seeking a long-lasting solution for a weak jaw, small chin, or lack of facial contour, may be candidates for facial implant surgery.2
