Candidates For Facial Implants
Facial implant surgery may be an excellent option for individuals who:
- Have reached facial skeletal maturity
- Feel their cheeks, chin, or jawline lack definition
- Desire improved facial balance and contour
- Are in good overall health
- Have realistic expectations regarding treatment outcomes
- Have specific aesthetic goals in mind
During a consultation, Dr. Maloney evaluates facial anatomy and discusses treatment goals to determine which implant option may be most appropriate.
About Facial Implant Procedures
Implant Surgery is generally performed on an outpatient basis using local anesthesia at The Maloney Center for facial plastic surgery.
- Cheek Implants: Cheek Implants are inserted beginning with an incision inside the mouth or along the lower eyelid into which the implant is inserted. If another cosmetic procedure is being performed at the same time, such as a Face Lift or Eyelid Surgery, the implants may be inserted through those incisions. Cheek Implant surgery generally takes about an hour.
- Chin Implants: Chin Implants involve inserting the implant into a pocket in front of the jawbone. The incision is made either along the lower lip inside the mouth or just below the chin area. Inserting a Chin Implant can take between 30 minutes to an hour.
- Lower Jaw Implants: Jaw Implants are placed through incisions made inside the mouth on either side of the lower lip. Jaw Implant surgery takes about one to two hours.
Recovery from Facial Implants
Recovery varies depending on the type of implant placed and whether additional procedures are performed at the same time. Patients commonly experience temporary swelling, bruising, tightness, and mild discomfort during the early healing period.
Patients with incisions inside the mouth must follow detailed oral hygiene instructions to support proper healing and reduce the risk of infection. A soft-food diet may be recommended for several days following surgery. Most patients gradually return to normal activities within one to two weeks, although residual swelling may take longer to fully resolve.
Dr. Maloney provides detailed post-operative instructions and closely monitors recovery to help ensure optimal results.
