Facial Implants

Facial implants enhance the basic structure of the face by aesthetically recontouring certain areas such as the cheeks or chin to create a more attractive look. It is not uncommon for patients to supplement surgical procedures such as a face lift or a brow lift with a facial implant procedure to restore a more youthful appearance. Quite often a chin implant is placed at the time of a rhinoplasty, an operation to reshape the nose because the relationship of the nose and chin are important to one another in achieving natural facial proportions.

Facial Contouring

Facial contouring entails inserting an implant within the facial tissue through small incisions made on the inside of the upper and/or lower lips. If external incisions are necessary, they are small and discreetly placed in the natural contours or creases of the face. In almost all cases, the procedures are performed on an outpatient basis. Full recovery typically extends over one or two weeks.
