What is a Facial Implant?
Facial implant surgery is a cosmetic procedure that can improve the shape of your face or make your features more balanced. Implants are helpful if you feel some areas of your face look flat or out of proportion. This surgery can also be used to restore the shape of your face after a serious illness or injury.
What are facial implants made of?
Implants are made from either human tissue or safe synthetic materials. The most common is silicone, which is flexible and feels natural. Another option is polythene, a firm medical-grade plastic.
Which parts of the face are usually treated?
The most common areas for facial implants are:
- Cheeks: To add volume to cheeks that look sunken or flat.
- Chin: To make a small or receding chin look stronger.
- Jaw: To create a wider and more defined jawline.
Why do people get chin implants during nose surgery?
If you are having nose surgery (rhinoplasty), your doctor may suggest a chin implant at the same time. The size of your chin can affect how large or small your nose appears. A chin implant can help your whole face look more balanced.
How do I choose the right size and shape?
At your first appointment, the doctor will examine your face and take photos. Be open about how you want to look. Your doctor will recommend the best size and placement to help the results look natural and meet your expectations.
How should I prepare for the surgery?
To stay safe and recover well, you should:
- Quit smoking: Stop at least six weeks before the surgery.
- Check medicines: Tell your doctor about all drugs you take, especially blood thinners like aspirin.
- Drink water: Stay well-hydrated before and after the procedure.
- Get a check-up: Your doctor may require blood tests or a physical exam to ensure you are healthy.
What happens during the surgery?
- Medicine: The doctor will give you anesthesia so you don't feel pain. You may be asleep or just the area will be numbed.
- Incisions (Cuts): For cheek implants, cuts are made inside the mouth or near the ears. For chin or jaw implants, cuts are made inside the lower lip or under the chin.
- Placement: The doctor creates a small pocket and places the implant against the bone.
- Closing: The doctor uses stitches to close the cuts. Some stitches will dissolve on their own.
What is the recovery process like?
After the surgery, you will stay at the clinic for a few hours. If you feel fine, you can go home the same day.
- Swelling: Your face will be swollen and bruised for a while. It may take a few months for the swelling to go down and for you to see the final result.
- Feelings: Your face may feel stiff, and your smile might look different for a few weeks.
- Daily Life: You should rest for at least one week. Avoid heavy exercise or swimming until your doctor says it is safe.
What are the benefits and risks?
- Benefits: This surgery can help you have a more balanced face, a sharper jawline, and greater self-confidence.
- Risks: As with any surgery, there are risks such as infection, bleeding, scarring, or the implant shifting out of place.
When should I call the doctor?
You should contact your doctor right away if you have:
- A fever or chills.
- Pus or fluid coming from the cuts.
- Pain or swelling that gets worse after the first few days.
