Commonly, our surgeons can achieve this type of result using a patient’s own tissues. Moving fat and cartilage from other parts of the body can create very pleasing profiles and contours. Not every patient is a candidate for this type of procedure and for them, facial implants serve an important role. Made of soft silicone, implants can improve the appearance of the face by bringing about better balance and proportion to the facial landscape. Chin implants are the most common type of facial implants, followed by cheek and mandibular (jaw) implants.
The Facial Implants procedure
Facial implantation is a common and simple outpatient procedure. General anesthesia is commonly used for this short operation. The majority of the procedures are performed from within the mouth leaving no external scars at all. The procedure can be done in conjunction with other facial operations to improve or further enhance the aesthetic result. Rhinoplasty for example, is a common procedure performed with chin implantation. Chin implantation in such cases, dramatically improves facial balance and the results of nasal reshaping. In general, results with facial implants are immediate and very long lasting.
Often, individuals are not happy with the anatomic features of their face. They may feel their face does not reflect their self image. Or, they may want to alter specific features to make themselves more attractive.
