Facial Implants
Ensure Your Successful Facial Implant
They exhibit volume and structure in the cheek region that helps support the skin of the face providing a framework of beauty around the eyes. Additionally, their facial structure is enhanced by a well-defined jawline and chin. A weak chin, or chin that ends behind the lower lip significantly, causes the nose to appear large even if the nose has proper aesthetic balance. Additionally, the jaw line can be weak resulting in a poorly defined neck line causing the skin of the neck to sag. An enhanced cheek, chin and jawline provide strength, beauty and confidence.
A successful facial implant can address and correct the following concerns.
- Underdeveloped cheek bones or volume loss to the midface
- A weak chin that causes the nose to appear larger than it truly is
- A weak jawline that causes the neck skin to hang and the facial appearance to appear adolescent from lack of definition
For some patients with major asymmetry in their face, especially in the chin and cheekbones, custom mandibular implants and cheek implants can achieve facial balance and produce a sense of symmetrical evenness by using state of the art technology to provide results with a high satisfaction rate.
Throughout the process, collaboration with patients is a key factor for success in any cheek, chin, or jaw implant procedure. There is no “right” or “wrong” in the aesthetic outcome. Rather, it is critical to work with the patient and decide upon a balance between providing a dramatic or subtle result. Through this collaborative process to achieve your desired facial contour, you actively enhance the beauty of your face and gain confidence with a stronger, more defined appearance.
