Facial implants and fillers offer effective solutions for enhancing and contouring facial features. Understanding these options can help you achieve balanced and harmonious facial aesthetics.
Facial Implants
Facial implants are designed to enhance the structure and definition of specific facial features. Common types of facial implants include:
- Chin Implants: Enhance the size and shape of the chin, improving facial balance and profile.
- Cheek Implants: Add volume to the cheeks, providing a more youthful and defined appearance.
- Jaw Implants: Strengthen the jawline, creating a more angular and sculpted look.
- Nasal Implants: Used in rhinoplasty to refine the shape and structure of the nose.
Facial implants are typically made from biocompatible materials, such as silicone, and are surgically placed beneath the skin. The procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia, and recovery time varies based on the type and extent of the surgery.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that add volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Common types of fillers include:
- Hyaluronic Acid Fillers: Add volume and hydration to the skin, commonly used for lips, cheeks, and under-eye areas.
- Calcium Hydroxylapatite Fillers: Provide structural support and stimulate collagen production, used for deeper wrinkles and facial contouring.
- Poly-L-Lactic Acid Fillers: Gradually stimulate collagen production, providing long-lasting volume and improvement in skin texture.
Dermal fillers offer the advantage of minimal downtime and immediate results. The effects typically last from six months to two years, depending on the type of filler used and the treatment area.
Combining Implants and Fillers
Combining facial implants and fillers can provide comprehensive facial rejuvenation and enhancement. For example, chin implants can create a stronger jawline, while fillers can smooth surrounding wrinkles and add volume to the lips and cheeks. This combined approach ensures balanced and natural-looking results.
Choosing the Right Option
During a consultation with our experienced plastic surgeons, you will discuss your aesthetic goals and receive personalized recommendations. The surgeon will evaluate your facial structure, skin condition, and specific concerns to determine the most suitable treatments.
Recovery and Maintenance
Recovery from facial implant surgery may involve swelling, bruising, and temporary discomfort. Most patients can resume normal activities within one to two weeks. Dermal fillers require minimal recovery time, with slight swelling or bruising subsiding within a few days.
Maintaining results involves regular follow-up treatments for fillers and a healthy skincare routine to protect and nourish your skin.
