Implants

Cheek implants are, in general, not dangerous. Implant selection and placement are important. We use only silastic implants that are biologically inert and do not alter surrounding tissues. These can be removed if needed via a short, simple procedure. Are surgical procedures have risks which should be reviewed with the doctor.

Chin and mandibuar angle implants can be used to make the jaw more prominent and to improve the contours of the lower face. In our practice, we use only silastic (silicone-based plastic) implants.

Cheek implants are placed via an incision in the mouth where the gums meet the cheek. They are secured with sutures or screws, and then the incision is closed.

Chin implants are the most common facial implants.

Reducing a double chin can be accomplished in many different ways, and frequently a combination is needed. Most often, this involves removal or reduction of fat under the chin and placement of a chin implant to improve the contour of the jawline.

Facial implants are permanent. However, these can be removed for medical or aesthetic reasons.
