Facial Contouring
Facial implants are specially formed solid, biocompatible materials designed to enhance or augment the physical structure and contours of your face
. The precise type and size of implants best suited for you requires an evaluation of your goals, the features you wish to correct and your surgeons judgment.
Facial implants can be used to enhance the chin, jaw and cheek.
Chin implants can increase the size and projection of a chin that does not project in proportion with the forehead and mid-face. A small or recessed chin can also be described as one that seems to disappear into the neck of an individual of normal weight, rather than appearing as a distinct facial feature.
Jaw implants increase the width of the lower third of your face. Much like the chin, a weak jaw can be thought of as one that is not well-defined and distinct from the neck, or one that slopes rather than angles from the ear to the chin. In some cases, both the chin and jaw can contribute to facial imbalance.
Cheek implants increase the projection of the cheekbones. They add volume to areas which may be recessed or at.
If symmetry among facial features is part of your goal, facial implants may be recommended to augment more than one facial region. Its important to remember that all of our faces are asymmetric to some degree and your results may not be completely symmetric. The goal is to create balance and proportion. Your procedure may be performed alone, or as a complement to other facial contouring procedures such as nose or ear surgery.
What Facial Implants Can Do
Facial implants bring balance and better proportion to the structural appearance of your face. They define your face by increasing projection and creating more distinct features.
Facial implants can improve proportion and profiles and correct imbalance caused by injury or hereditary traits.
Best Candidates for Facial Implants
Plastic surgery with facial implants is best performed on people whose head and skull have reached physical maturity, which generally occurs in late adolescence. This procedure is a good option for you if:
You are physically healthy
You do not smoke
You have a positive outlook and specific goals in mind for improvement of facial contours
Are Facial Implants Right for Me?
If you are bothered by a small chin, weak jaw or lack of facial contour, plastic surgery with facial implants may benefit you. While any area of your face can be augmented with implants, the cheekbones, chin and jaw are the most common sites for facial implants.
Preparing for Facial Implants
The success and safety of your facial implant procedure depends very much on your complete candidness during your consultation. Youll be asked a number of questions about your health, desires and lifestyle.
Prior to surgery, you may be asked to:
Get lab testing or a medical evaluation
Take certain medications or adjust your current medications
Stop smoking well in advance of surgery
Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and herbal supplements as they can increase bleeding
Special instructions you receive will cover:
What to do on the day of surgery
The use of anesthesia during your procedure
Post-operative care and follow-up
Your plastic surgeon will also discuss where your procedure will be performed. Facial implants may be performed in an accredited office-based surgical center, outpatient or ambulatory surgical center, or a hospital.
If your Facial implants are performed on an outpatient basis, be sure to arrange for someone to drive you to and from surgery and to stay with you for at least the first night following surgery.
