Crafting Your Look
What are Facial Implants?
Facial implants offer a personalized solution to achieve your desired facial aesthetics.
At our practice, we go beyond one-size-fits-all implants. Our surgeons utilize advanced technology like Vectra 3D imaging and CT scans to create custom-designed facial implants tailored to your unique facial structure.
This meticulous process involves:
- Precise Measurements: We take detailed measurements of your skeletal anatomy to ensure a perfect fit down to the micrometer level.
- Individualized Design: Your surgeon uses these measurements to design an implant that seamlessly integrates with your existing bone structure.
- Seamless Integration: This customized approach guarantees a natural-looking enhancement that complements your individual features.
Types of Facial Implants
What is the Facial Implant procedure like?
Facial implant surgery is typically performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia. Incision placement varies depending on the targeted facial area. Your surgeon prioritizes the placement of incisions in areas that can be easily concealed. For instance, a chin implant may be inserted via an incision within the lower lip.
Cheek Implants
- Desired Outcome: Achieve high, sculpted cheekbones, a hallmark of youth and beauty.
- Benefits: Adds volume and definition to the midface, enhancing facial contours.
- Procedure: Strategically placed implants are inserted to create the desired cheekbone shape.
Chin Implants
- Enhances: A recessed or weak chin that disrupts facial harmony and proportions.
- Solution: Chin implants, customized for each patient, add projection and balance to the lower face.
- Benefits: Corrects a weak chin and improves profile aesthetics.
Chin Reduction
- Refines: An overly projected or strong chin that throws off facial balance.
- Procedure: Chin reduction surgery refines the chin's prominence for a more subtle appearance.

Custom vs. Generic Facial Implants
Choosing the Right Fit for You
When considering facial implant surgery, a crucial decision involves the type of implant: custom-made or generic. Here's a breakdown of the key differences to help you choose:
- Customization: Custom implants are designed specifically for your unique facial anatomy. Your surgeon creates a digital blueprint based on precise measurements and scans, ensuring a perfect fit that complements your bone structure and desired outcome.Generic implants come in predetermined shapes and sizes, offering less flexibility in achieving a truly individualized look.
- Symmetry and Results: Custom implants are crafted to achieve optimal facial symmetry. This meticulous approach minimizes the risk of an uneven or unnatural appearance. Generic implants may not perfectly match your unique bone structure, potentially leading to less-than-ideal symmetry and noticeable imperfections.
- Long-Term Stability: A custom implant's precise fit ensures long-term stability, reducing the chance of the implant shifting or becoming noticeable over time. Due to potential size discrepancies, generic implants may carry a higher risk of movement or visibility.
A Balanced and Youthful Appearance
What conditions do facial implants address?
Facial implants address concerns like weak chins, undefined jawlines, and age-related volume loss, enhancing facial contours for a more balanced and youthful appearance.
For Enhanced Definition
What are the benefits of facial implants?
Beyond addressing specific conditions, facial implants offer a range of benefits that can significantly impact your confidence and overall satisfaction with your appearance:
- Enhanced Facial Harmony and Proportions: Implants can create a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing facial profile, bringing individual features into better proportion.
- Boosted Confidence: Achieving your desired facial definition can dramatically improve self-esteem and confidence, allowing you to project your best self to the world.
- Long-lasting Results: Unlike injectable fillers, facial implants offer a permanent solution for volume restoration and definition enhancement.
- Minimal Scarring: With advancements in surgical techniques, incisions for implant placement are strategically placed and minimized, leading to minimal scarring that fades over time.
- Natural-Looking Results: Modern implants are designed to seamlessly integrate with your existing facial structure, creating a natural and aesthetically pleasing enhancement.
A Timeless Transformation
Facial Implant Recovery
While facial implant surgery is typically an outpatient procedure, a successful recovery period is crucial for optimal healing and achieving your desired outcome. Here's what you can expect:
Preparation:
- Pre-operative instructions: Your surgeon will provide detailed instructions on things like medications to avoid, dietary modifications, and stopping smoking (if applicable) well in advance of surgery.
- Gathering supplies: Stock up on soft foods, pain medication (if prescribed), ice packs, and any other supplies recommended by your surgeon.
- Arranging transportation: Plan for a trusted adult to drive you home after surgery and potentially help you in the initial recovery days.
The First Week:
- Expect swelling and bruising: This is normal and will gradually subside within the first week or two. Use ice packs regularly as directed by your surgeon.
- Pain management: You may experience some discomfort, which can be managed with medication as prescribed by your surgeon.
- Rest and limited activity: Plan for significant rest and avoid strenuous activity for the first few weeks.
- Dietary adjustments: Depending on the implant location, you may need to stick to a soft diet for a short period.
- Incision care: Follow your surgeon's instructions meticulously regarding incision cleaning and dressing changes.
Beyond the First Week:
- Gradual return to normal activities: With your surgeon's approval, you can gradually resume your usual routine as swelling and discomfort subside.
- Minimize strenuous activities: Avoid contact sports or other activities that could dislodge the implant for several weeks.
- Follow-up appointments: Regularly scheduled appointments with your surgeon are essential to monitor healing and ensure proper implant placement.
Remember:
- Communication is key: Don't hesitate to contact your surgeon if you experience any concerning symptoms like excessive bleeding, fever, or worsening pain.
- Long-term results: While significant improvement is visible early on, complete healing and final results can take several months as swelling fully resolves.
Following these guidelines and maintaining open communication with your surgeon can ensure a smooth recovery and achieve the best possible results from your facial implant surgery.

Elevate Your Profile
Facial Implant Results
You'll see an immediate improvement in your facial contours following surgery. However, swelling and bruising are common during the first week or two. As these subside, your new definition will become progressively more apparent. While significant results are evident within a few weeks, it can take up to four to six months for final results to emerge as all swelling fully resolves.

Frequently Asked Questions
Facial implants are typically crafted from high-quality, biocompatible materials like medical-grade silicone. This ensures safety and long-lasting results. During your consultation, your surgeon will discuss the various implant options available and work closely with you to determine the most suitable material for your specific needs and desired outcome.
Dermal fillers and implants offer different benefits. Fillers provide temporary volume correction, while implants deliver long-lasting definition and address concerns like a weak chin or jawline. For dramatic, permanent results, implants may be the ideal choice. They target underlying bone structure for a sculpted look you'll love for years to come.
Facial implants can be a powerful tool in your cosmetic toolbox. Combining them with procedures like facelifts, rhinoplasty, brow lifts, or blepharoplasty can create a comprehensive and harmonious result. During your consultation, we'll design a personalized plan to address all your aesthetic goals and achieve the look you desire.
Facial implants are designed for long-lasting results. Unlike injectable fillers that require periodic touch-ups, implants offer a more permanent solution. With proper care and assuming no complications, you can expect to enjoy your enhanced facial features for many years, often a lifetime.
