WHAT ARE FACIAL IMPLANTS?

If you would like to see changes in your chin, cheek, jaw line or lips a facial implant may be of interest to you. Facial implants can create remarkable changes by adding balance and definition to underdeveloped features.

WHAT IS INVOLVED?

• These procedures are done as a day surgery in our Surgical Centre. Anesthetics used may either be a local with sedation or a general anesthetic.
• Manufactured from a variety of materials, facial implants are available to augment the chin, cheek, and/or jaw line. Placement of the incisions will be discussed at the time of consultation. Incisions are small and often placed inside the mouth.

WHAT IS THE HEALING TIME?

• There are usually no dressings.
• Sutures are usually absorbable.
• Discomfort is mild to moderate and controlled easily with oral medication.
• Bruising and swelling subsides in 7 to 10 days, slight swelling may last a few weeks.
• Most patients are back to work in 1 to 2 weeks.
