Facial Implants
Facial implants are used to improve and enhance facial contours such as strengthening a jawline or bringing the chin or cheekbones into balance with the rest of the face.
Facial implants can result in beautiful changes. Problems rarely occur, but you need to be informed about such possibilities. A facial implant can shift slightly out of alignment and a second operation could be necessary to replace it itoits proper position. As with any surgery, infection can occur. If infection were to occur around a facial implant and did not clear up after treatment with antibiotics, the implant might have to be temporarily removed and replaced at a later time. Less-frequent risks may be associated with certain implants. Be sure to ask your plastic surgeon for a description of the risks associated with the procedure in which you are interested.
