Facial Implants

Facial implants are biologically-compatible solid materials that can be installed within a certain part of the face to enhance its physical structure and improve overall facial proportions. There are three major facial areas that can be enhanced with implants: the cheek, the chin, and the jaw. This procedure is ideal for those who suffer from weak chins, recessed jawlines, poorly defined cheekbones, or sunken cheeks.

Facial implants can transform the face by enhancing facial structure, improving balance, and adding definition. Ideal for those with recessed jawlines, weak chins, or underdefined cheekbones, this procedure offers customizable solutions to achieve natural-looking and lasting results. At Sedgh Plastic Surgery, led by double board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Jacob Sedgh, our approach to facial implants is designed to provide patients with personalized results that emphasize harmony and facial aesthetics.

FAQs: Facial Implants

What are facial implants made of?
Facial implants are typically made from biocompatible materials such as silicone, designed to integrate safely within the facial structure and provide a natural feel.

How long do facial implants last?
Facial implants are designed for durability and are generally considered permanent, although they can be removed or adjusted if desired.

Will there be visible scarring?
Dr. Sedgh places incisions in discreet areas, such as inside the mouth, along the hairline, or under the chin, to ensure minimal visible scarring.

How soon can I return to work or social activities?
Most patients are able to return to work within 1-2 weeks, although full recovery may take several weeks as swelling subsides.
