CHEEK & CHIN IMPLANTS
These are usually solid silicone implants that are placed over
the apex of the cheek bone or the chin to enhance facial features.
Far less common areas of enhancement are the midface region and
along the jawbone. View past client photos.
Everyone’s face is different and in our practice we utilize
computer imaging to identify
the regions that need to be enhanced. It is true that “a picture is worth a thousand
words.” Also, by utilizing imaging techniques, the patient
may decide that no enhancement is indeed necessary.
The implants are usually placed behind the lining of the bone
so that they will be held in a
stable position. Postoperatively,
there is minimal discomfort, but
swelling may persist for as long
as two to three months. Incisions
are made with virtually no visible
exterior signs. People usually need to be off of work for approximately
one week to ten days because of bruising and swelling and restrict
normal physical activities for as long as 2-3 weeks to prevent
any complications from occurring. |
