Facial implants are a simple and proven method for enhancing one’s facial profile and to improve overall facial feature balance. Whether it be chin, cheek, or jaw implants, or combinations thereof, facial implantation on deficient facial skeletal areas can make a subtle or big change depending upon the patient’s desire.

The proportion and balance of the nose, chin, cheek, and jawline makes a major contribution toward the eprception of one’s facial attractiveness. These prominent (or lack thereof) facial areas can be enhanced by the use of solid facial implants.Facial implants are most commonly made of solid silicone rubber which allows them to be soft , flexible and to be easily slide into place on top of the facial bone area. All facial implants can be inserted through very discrete incisions that often leave no visible scars on the face. While any implant (foreign-body) has some risk of infection, facial implant infection is quite uncommon

Enhancing the chin with an implant is the most commonly performed facial implant procedure. With a small incision under the chin, a chin implant can be easily put into place, bringing the chin forward so that it is in balance to the nose and lips. Unlike the old style ‘button’ chin implant, there are many different styles of chin implants today. A wide variety of chin implant styles are available to custom tailor and adjust most people’s faces. Usually the chin implant is sutured into place, a metal screw can be driven through the implant to the bone. The way to ensure that chin implants don’t move from their location on the bone is to secure it with a screw. Chin implants are often used in combination with nose surgery, liposuction of the neck, or face tightening procedures of the jowls and neckline.

Cheek implants also have a variety of styles, allowing fullness to be gained over the prominence of the cheekbone, filling out the hollow underneath the cheekbone, or allowing more fullness to be gained up to the side of the nose. By going through the mouth under the upper lip, there is no facial scarring. Building up flat cheeks, camouflaging a prominent nose, or adding fullness to the midface in HIV disease can be done with cheek implants. Metal screw fixation seems to be of particular importance as the cheek implant is really sitting ‘on the side of the cliff’ so to speak and, therefore, is more prone to the risk of moving out of place after surgery.

Jawline implants are relatively new. Making a man’s face more square and amsculine is done with jaw angle implants and is also used when there is facial asymmetry caused by the jaw developing differently between the two sides of the face. While swelling and recovery exists with all facial implant procedures, jaw angle implants has the greatest amount of recovery due to being placed under the chewing muscles. Opening the mouth can be sore for a few weeks after surgery.

In some cases, the use of different implants in the same patient, such as a chin and jaw angle implants in a male, can provide dramatic changes in one’s facial appearance. Facial implants are a powerful tool, that is simple and usually uncomplicated, to achieve better facial balance and harmony.
