FACIAL IMPLANTS IN ATLANTA

CHEEK, CHIN, JAW AUGMENTATION OVERVIEW

Facial implant surgery enhances the symmetry, balance, and proportions of the face through the use of biocompatible implants that are designed to augment, rejuvenate, or reconstruct one’s existing facial structures. Facial implants are popular among female patients, and are effective treatment options for patients seeking a permanent method of creating or restoring aesthetically desirable facial contours.

Technological advances in the aesthetic enhancement industry have allowed for a significant increase in facial implant options, and patients are now able to choose from a wide range of implant styles, sizes, and materials.

Types of Implants

Below you will find the three most common types of facial implants:

Cheek Implant: the insertion of a cheek implant can restore depleted volume to flat or recessed cheeks, and can help to enhance the prominence of the cheekbones
Jaw implant: jaw implants are designed to increase the width of the lower third of the face, and are especially popular among patients seeking to create a stronger, more well-defined jawline
Chin implant: chin implants augment the size and projection of a recessed or weak chin, thereby enhancing the contours and structure of the entire face

Proper insertion of a facial implant requires extensive knowledge of facial anatomy and structural proportions, and should only be performed by a skillful and experienced plastic surgeon, such as Dr. Wright A. Jones and Dr. Sabine Lovell. Our plastic surgeons take pride in keeping abreast of the latest advances in the field of cosmetic facial surgery, and have helped many of their patients optimize their facial symmetry, and create more balanced facial proportions with facial implant surgery at their private practice in Atlanta, Georgia.

FACIAL IMPLANT PROCEDURE DETAILS

Facial implant surgery is performed under general anesthesia in an outpatient setting, and typically lasts between 1-2 hours, unless it is performed in conjunction with other facial rejuvenation procedures. The cheek, jaw, and chin implant surgeries require similar surgical patterns and techniques, beginning with a small initial incision placed close to where the implant will be inserted (typically in a facial crease or inside the mouth), followed by the creation of a pocket within the facial tissue. Once the pocket has been created, Dr. Jones or Dr. Lovell will insert the implant, position it appropriately, and then close the incision with sutures.

After closing the incision, the plastic surgeon will use surgical tape or bandages to secure the implant’s position, as a means of preventing the implant from shifting in response to facial swelling during the first few days of your recovery period. Most facial implant patients are able to gradually return to their normal schedules approximately one week after surgery.
