If you would like to restore lost facial volume and make your face look more youthful, dermal fillers aren’t the only option. Facial implants can also augment the face. But what are facial implants used for?
What Are Facial Implants Used For?
Facial implants are small devices made of synthetic materials such as silicone, which are used to add definition and structure to specific areas of the face. They also help balance facial features.
Facial implants are placed underneath the skin to replenish volume and restore facial contours. They are frequently used to enhance the cheeks, chin, and jaw, and are customized to fit the specific needs of each patient.
Facial implant procedures are performed on an outpatient basis and take around 30-60 minutes to complete. Recovery generally takes 4-7 days.
Cheek Implants
The cheeks lose their youthful plumpness over time, but cheek implants can restore volume and increase the projection of the cheekbones. Cheek implants are typically inserted through an incision made in the mouth or lower eyelids, and placed into a pocket created in the facial tissue.
Chin Implants
Chin implants are a great way to create a more defined chin and improve the facial profile. They are available in many different shapes and sizes. Chin implants are typically inserted through incisions made inside the mouth or under the chin.
Jaw Implants
Jaw implants increase the dimensions and contour of the jaw. Jaw implants are placed along the jawline to give the jaw a more defined appearance. They are a good option for people wanting to refine a weak jaw.
If you would like to enhance the definition of your cheeks, jawline, or chin, facial implants may be a good option for you. Facial implants can last for many years unless removed by the surgeon.
