Facial implants are prosthetic devices deposited underneath the soft tissue of the face to change the underlying structure to enhance the form of specific features of the chin, cheek, or lower jaw.
Dr Yazdanfar saysDuring the surgical operation for a chin implantation, the surgeon identifies the proper shape and size for the implant to augment the patient’s face and places it into a cavity over the anterior of the mandible. The small incision is made along the bottom lower lip to carve the pouch and the implant is tucked withininside the mouth or within the skin just beneath the chin area.
For a cheek implant procedure an incision will be made either behind the patient’s top lip or the bottom eyelid. A pouch is formed and the implant is deposited inside.
A lower-jaw implant surgical procedure calls for internal incisions to be cut on either side of the bottom lip to allow entry for carving a pouch into which the implant can be deposited.
The severity and duration of swelling and discomfort may vary, depending if a second cosmetic surgical procedure was carried out concurrently.
