Facial implants improve an individual’s physical appearance, but they also have a very positive effect on a patient’s self-esteem. People may choose to undergo facial surgery to create balance, harmony and symmetry to their appearance. A person may choose to have cheek implants to improve sunken or hollow cheeks, or they may opt for a chin implant to make a squarer jawline. Other people may decide on facial implants due to birth defects or accidents where facial reconstructive surgery is necessary.
There is no set time frame of when it’s best to perform facial implants:
A young child can undergo the operation to fix a birth defect
A young adult might undergo this cosmetic procedure to create balance in his or her face due to an accident
A person might be asked to wait a certain number of weeks if they have previously had any surgery to avoid further complications
You can discuss this with your cosmetic surgeon and decide on a convenient time for your procedure.
