What are the Different Types of Facial Implants?
Facial implants have been one of the more popular cosmetic procedures performed by surgeons the past few years. The procedure consists of the board-certified plastic surgeon making a small incision in the face at the location of the implant. The surgeon then inserts the implant beneath the skin in the chosen location.
Getting to know different types of facial implants
There are different types of facial implants:
Chin Implant
Cheek Implant
Jaw Angle Implants
Malar Implants
The chin, cheekbones, and brow bone are the most common facial implants. These are all areas where the proper implant can be enhanced greatly. The surgeon will choose the location and material of the implant with the help of the patient. Using something like silicone or harder plastic is the most common and can result in a long lasting implant that is going to enhance your looks for years to come.
Someone who might be interested in this type of procedure are those that feel their features are not strong enough. Someone with a weak chin, low cheekbones, and a less prominent brow may decide that they want this type of procedure to help make their features stronger and more pronounced. It’s to be expected with this type of procedure that the patient will feel some amount of pain and swelling for a few days to weeks after the procedure is complete.
The patient will also need to allow time for the implant to settle in its final place before they decide if the cosmetic surgical procedure was a success or not.
What to expect after surgery:
Someone that has facial implant surgery can expect their features to be much stronger and prominent if they have the procedure done correctly. Implants that are well placed can also help to rebuild parts of the face that have been damaged in accidents and more. It’s not uncommon for a patient to have slight discomfort after the procedure. The discomfort will subside as the implant settles. A good cosmetic plastic surgeon can recommend an implant size and material that will be natural enough to be comfortable and beautiful and attractive with the final outcome.
