Facial Implants, also known as facial augmentation, is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance and harmonize specific facial features by inserting implants into key areas of the face. These implants are made from various materials, such as silicone or porous polyethylene, and are carefully selected and customized to achieve the desired facial balance and proportion.
Facial implants are commonly used to augment the chin, cheeks, or jawline, creating a more defined and balanced facial contour.
Facial implant surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, ensuring the patient’s comfort throughout the procedure. Recovery after facial implant surgery involves some swelling and discomfort, which can be managed with pain medications and cold compresses. Patients are usually advised to follow a soft diet and avoid strenuous activities during the initial healing period.
