Facial implants are used to address imbalances where one structural element of the face, such as the chin, cheeks, nose, brow, or jaw, is too big, small, or prominent. These implants can be used alone or in conjunction with other facial procedures, such as combining chin augmentation with a facelift to enhance the chin/neck angle.
Facial implants are made of solid silicone, which has a long and safe history for human implantation, unlike breast gel implants. In your initial consultation, your health will be evaluated, your facial balance assessed, and alternative facial-contouring methods reviewed. The consultation will also cover the procedure in detail, its risks and limitations, the anesthesia used, the location where the surgery will be performed, and the total costs involved.
