What are facial implants?

Add contour and definition

Facial implants are custom-made solid materials that are compatible with human tissues and are used to enhance or reconstruct facial contours.

A review of your goals, the traits you intend to improve, and your surgeon's opinion are required to determine the exact type and size of facial implants that are most suited for you. While they can be used in any area of the face, the most popular locations for facial implants are the cheeks, chin, and jaw. Plastic surgery with facial implants may help you if you have a small chin, a weak jaw, or a lack of facial contour.

the benefits of facial implants?

Your Facial Implant Procedure

In most situations, facial implant surgery is performed on an outpatient basis (meaning there is no overnight stay). The length of the procedure is determined by which part or parts of your face are chosen.

A lower jaw implant is inserted on the inside of the lower lip. Sutures that will dissolve in two to three weeks will be used to close the incision site. It takes one to two hours for the operation to be completed. Your cheek implants go through your upper lip (internally) or your lower eyelid (internally). It takes around an hour to complete the process. Chin implants are inserted under the chin or via the lower lip. It takes 30 minutes to an hour to complete the process.

Facial Implant Recovery

Facial Implants Frequently Asked Questions

Do facial implants hurt?

Facial implant surgery is relatively painless due to the anesthesia. However, there may be some discomfort during the recovery period. Most people experience pain with different levels of tolerance. Discuss any questions about pain with Dr. Kerolus in your consultation.

What's the difference between implants and dermal fillers?

Facial implants are long-lasting, adding permanent enhancements through surgery to areas such as the chin or cheeks. On the other hand, dermal fillers are temporary "boosters" injected to smoothen wrinkles or add volume without surgery. Implants are a more permanent choice, while fillers give you flexibility—they're temporary and need topping up. Choosing between the two depends on how long you want the enhancements to last and what specific changes you're after. Talking to an expert can help you decide which fits your style and goals best.
