Facial plastic surgery implants are a tremendous aid for the surgeon to enhance the patient’s features. Chin and cheek implants are a relatively simple procedure to help improve facial harmony. Chin implants have been used for more than 40 years and have proven safe. Cheek implants can help those with a flattened mid-face who desire more prominent cheeks.

The implants are made from silicone and most are premolded. Various sizes are available and computer imaging helps determine which implant is best suited for the individual. Through a small incision, our Cincinnati cosmetic surgeons can slip in the implant and it rests on the underlying bone, providing more forward projection.

Facial Implant Candidates

The implants are particularly helpful for those with large noses and weak chins. For patients who are bothered by their receding or “weak” chin, a chin implant can add pore projection and definition to the area. One of the benefits of an implant for chin augmentation is that Instead of performing major plastic surgery and advancing the jaw bone, an implant can be placed in a 30-minute office procedure.

Cheek implants are a great option for patients who want sharper and more defined cheekbones that add definition to their face. Cheek implants can significantly enhance facial contours while retaining a natural appearance. During your consultation, Dr. Mandell-Brown will ask about your reasons for wanting to undergo facial implant surgery and take the time to understand what your desired goals are so that he can let you know if facial implant surgery in Cincinnati is the right choice for you.

What to Expect After Your Facial Implant Surgery

Patients who have undergone chin implant surgery and cheek implant surgery can expect to experience some swelling, bruising, and tenderness around the surgical area following their procedure. Pain should be minimal and can be managed with medication. Most patients will need around a week or two of recovery before they feel comfortable returning to work, though this can vary between patients. Our team will be sure to provide you with post-operative instructions that will make the recovery process as easy as possible.
