Facial Implants(Chin,Cheeks,Jaw)

Beauty may only be skin deep. But, for centuries, well-defined facial features have been considered traits of physical beauty. Prominent cheek bones and a strong chin provide balance and definition. For those lacking these natural marks of distinction, make-up was their only alternative.

Now, thanks to modern technology, there is a safe, permanent method to correct a receding chin, and provide those high cheekbones sought after by men and women worldwide. Chin augmentation or mentoplasty and cheek implants or malar augmentation are surgical procedures designed to provide a more vibrant and attractive look of distinction. These procedures can also benefit those with asymmetries or congenital defects. Chin implants are often recommended to patients undergoing nose surgery to achieve better facial balance. In patients 38-50 years old, cheek implants can improve the midfacial contour and restore sagging midfacial soft tissues, thus postponing the need for a facelift. For patients receiving a facelift, cheek implants can ensure longer-lasting results. Nasal implants can be used to enhance the size and shape of nose and can also be used to camouflage deformities and dramatically improve the dorsal profile of the nose.

ARE CHIN, CHEEK AND NASAL IMPLANTS SAFE?

Facial implant surgery has proven to be a safe, predictable, low-cost, low-risk cosmetic procedure. To date, millions of facial implants made from non-toxic materials such as silicone and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) have been implanted, with no reported cases of allergic reaction. The implants, designed specifically for use in the midfacial cheek area, nose and the chin come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. These implants can be custom-trimmed for a more natural fit.

Chin, cheek and nose implantation procedures can be performed on an out-patient basis. They can be performed using general anesthesia with the patient asleep, or by using IV sedation and local anesthesia. Normal activity can be resumed within 2-4 days. Incisions for insertion of these implants are placed intra-orally with no visible scar on the face.
