Facial implants are implants that are surgically implanted within facial tissue in order to enhance facial features and provide more contouring to the face. Facial implants are dense materials that integrate within the tissue of the face, forming together with time.
The sizes, shapes, and materials used in facial implants are different from patient to patient and are determined based on a patient’s desired results, the location of the facial implant, and the surgeon’s assessment.
While any area of the face can receive facial implants, they are mostly used on the jaw, chin, and cheeks.
Jaw Implants: these implants focus on widening the lower third of the face. A weakened jaw is characterized by a lack of well-defined contours, causing it to appear less distinct from the neck or exhibiting a gentle slope rather than a defined angle from the ear to the chin.
Chin Implants: this procedure is designed to enhance both the size and projection of the chin, allowing it to maintain harmonious proportions with the forehead and mid-face. A small or recessed chin, often described as one that lacks a distinct definition and appears to blend into the neck, can be effectively addressed through this procedure.
Cheek Implants: these implants are intended to enhance the projection of the cheekbones, augmenting volume in areas that may appear recessed or lacking in dimension. This technique serves to create a more sculpted and balanced facial appearance.
