Facial implants use synthetic materials, like silicone, to augment or enhance an individual’s facial structure. They are often used on the chin, cheeks or jaw.
At ENT Physicians, our team can help you determine if facial implants are the right choice for you. We strive to allow you to see yourself anew through a personalized plastic surgery treatment plan.
Who Benefits from Facial Implants?
- People whose head and skull have reached physical maturity.
- People who hope to enhance their features and have realistic expectations.
- Nonsmokers.
Common Facial Implants
- Chin implants can augment a chin that is disproportionate to the rest of the face.
- Check implants increase facial volume by enhancing the projection of the cheekbones.
- Jaw implants increase the width of the lower part of the face to help even out proportions.
What Outcomes Can I Expect?
Changes are typically visible right after surgery, though initial results may be obscured due to swelling. It may take several months for the swelling to completely subside, during which time facial movements may be temporarily limited.
The lasting nature of facial implants means you can enjoy the results without having to undergo the procedure repeatedly.
If there are elements of your appearance you’d like to see changed, ENT Physicians’s facial plastics team can help. We’re ready to partner with you to create a treatment plan that meets all your needs.
