What are Facial Implants?
Facial implants are done with synthetic, biocompatible materials that can be used for long-term augmentation of areas like the cheeks, lips and chin. These implants effectively bring symmetry and balance to the face, all while enhancing specific facial features. Facial implants can be used to restore a youthful, glowing profile, or to correct facial deformities caused by congenital defects or injuries.
Why are Facial Implants Recommended?
Dr. Schneider might perform facial implant surgery for any of the following concerns:
- Cheekbones that lack definition and volume
- Loss of facial volume through the aging process
- A weak chin that does not support other facial features
- Disproportionate or weak jawline
- Loss of volume under the eye, giving you a worn appearance
- Facial malformation due to birth defects or injury
Facial implants may be combined with other procedures, such as a rhinoplasty to further enhance balance and harmony within the facial contour.
