The
Facial Implant Procedure
Facial implant procedures usually take
between thirty minutes and up to two hours and are usually
performed at the surgeon’s office or an outpatient
surgical center. All facial implant procedures follow
similar surgical patterns. Under general or local anesthesia,
the surgeon makes an incision near where the implant
will be placed, a pocket is made in the facial tissue,
the implant inserted, and the incision stitched. The
incision is bandaged or taped, and stitches are removed
in 5-10 days.
Facial implants are available for reconstructive
or cosmetic purposes. They are available in a wide range
of sizes and styles for the jaw, nose, cheek and chin.
Facial implants add and or restore facial symmetry and
balance features to enhance facial proportionality.
