Facial Fillers
Facial implants are used to improve and enhance facial contours.
Frequently, these implants will help provide a more harmonious balance to your face and features.
There are many implants available, manufactured from a variety of materials, most commonly hard silicone. They may help strengthen a jaw line or bring the chin or cheekbones into balance with the rest of the face.
What to Expect From a Facial Implant:
Often times facial implants will be used to allow for a more balanced look on the face. When viewing a profile the nose and chin should line up in a harmonious fashion occasionally needing a chin implant.
Other patients may choose to have an implant placed in conjunction with another cosmetic procedure. For example, during a facelift, a patient may wish to have implants placed over the cheekbones to help restore a more youthful appearance. Implants may also be selected to fill out a face that appears “sunken” or tired.
