Facial Implants

What are Facial Implants?

Facial implants, commonly made of materials like silicone or porous polyethylene, are surgically inserted into specific areas of the face to enhance or augment facial contours. Designed to improve volume, shape, or definition, these implants target features like the cheeks, chin, or jawline. Varieties include cheek implants (malar or submalar), chin implants (mentoplasty), and jawline implants (mandibular angle or jaw angle implants). This procedure enhances facial harmony, balance, and proportions, resulting in a more youthful and aesthetically pleasing appearance. Under the expertise of Dr. Day at Pacific Sound Plastic Surgery, patients receive personalized care and support, achieving natural-looking results that enhance their facial features and boost confidence.

Good Candidates for Facial Implants

Ideal candidates for facial implants, under the care of Dr. Day at Pacific Sound Plastic Surgery, are individuals seeking enhancement or augmentation of specific facial features to achieve a more balanced and harmonious appearance. Dissatisfaction with the size, shape, or proportion of facial features like the cheeks, chin, or jawline may prompt consideration for this procedure. Candidates should be in good overall health and maintain realistic expectations regarding the outcomes. Additionally, stable mental health and non-smoking status are important criteria, as smoking can impede healing and elevate the risk of complications. Dr. Day provides personalized care and guidance, ensuring that each patient’s aesthetic goals are met with natural-looking results and enhanced confidence.

Benefits of Facial Implants

Facial implants are a cosmetic surgery option designed to enhance and define the facial structure. This procedure involves placing biocompatible implants in areas such as the cheeks, chin, or jawline, providing a more pronounced, balanced, and attractive facial contour. Ideal for individuals seeking to augment underdeveloped facial features or restore symmetry, facial implants can offer dramatic yet natural-looking results. Performed by skilled cosmetic surgeons, this procedure can significantly boost self-confidence and improve overall facial aesthetics.

What to Expect During Your
Facial Implant Procedure

Typically, the procedure commences with the creation of discreet incisions in carefully chosen locations on the face. Through these incisions, implants are delicately inserted into the desired facial areas to enhance volume, shape, or definition. Once the implants are in place, the incisions are meticulously closed. The entire process usually takes a few hours, with Dr. Day at Pacific Sound Plastic Surgery ensuring precise techniques and optimal outcomes for each patient.

To manage discomfort, patients may be prescribed pain medication and advised to use cold compresses. Rest and avoiding strenuous activities during the first few days post-surgery are recommended. Patients may experience temporary numbness or tightness in treated areas, which usually improves as swelling decreases. Most individuals can resume normal activities within a week or two, with follow-up appointments scheduled to monitor progress and ensure optimal healing.
