ABOUT FACIAL IMPLANTS
While rhinoplasties and lip augmentations are widely known and immensely popular, a weak chin or jawline may be what’s needed to create facial balance. A recessed chin or a jawline lacking in definition can disrupt facial harmony, causing the nose to look bigger, and the overall face to appear less structured. Facial implants, such as chin or jaw implants, are designed to enhance these areas by adding volume and contour, creating a more defined and balanced appearance. Whether you’re looking to strengthen your jawline or achieve a stronger chin, our customized facial implant procedures can help you attain the symmetry and harmony that complements your natural features.
Facial implants are custom-designed, biocompatible devices inserted into the face to augment or reconstruct facial contours. These implants are often used to correct facial asymmetries, enhance facial features, and restore volume lost due to aging or weight loss. They can provide significant improvements to areas such as the chin, cheeks, jawline, and temple, creating a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing facial structure.
The materials used in facial implants are safe and designed to integrate seamlessly with your natural tissues. Common materials include solid silicone, polyethylene, and Gore-Tex, each chosen for their durability, compatibility, and natural feel.
TYPES OF FACIAL IMPLANTS
Chin Implants
Chin implants, or mentoplasty, are ideal for individuals with a weak or receding chin. These implants add projection and definition to the chin area, enhancing the overall balance of the face and creating a stronger jawline. A well-defined chin can dramatically improve the profile, particularly in combination with other facial procedures like rhinoplasty or facelift.
Cheek Implants
High, prominent cheekbones are often associated with youth and beauty. Cheek implants, or malar augmentation, are designed to enhance the cheeks’ projection and contour, restoring volume that may have been lost with age. These implants can create a fuller, more youthful appearance and are often used in conjunction with other facial rejuvenation procedures.
Jaw Implants
Jaw implants are used to create a more defined and masculine jawline. This procedure is particularly beneficial for individuals with a weak jawline or for those seeking to balance facial proportions. Jaw implants can create a stronger, more chiseled look and are often chosen by men looking to enhance their facial masculinity.

BENEFITS OF FACIAL IMPLANTS
Unlike fillers, undergoing a surgical procedure offers permanent improvement to the facial profile and more closely mimics the chin bone, jawbone, or cheek. Undergoing this cosmetic surgery vastly improves the overall facial appearance.
Chin augmentation procedures and other types of silicone implants eliminate the need for repeated treatments with injectable filler and the risk of migration, as dermal fillers are not suitable for increasing large amounts of facial volume – doing so often results in “pillow face,” an unnatural or bloated appearance.
With facial implants, you achieve a more natural and lasting enhancement that aligns with your facial structure, without the maintenance required by fillers. Additionally, implants provide a more predictable and stable outcome, ensuring that your results remain consistent over time. This makes facial implants an excellent choice for those seeking significant yet subtle improvements, ultimately enhancing facial harmony and boosting self-confidence.
Facial implants also offer the advantage of precise customization, allowing surgeons to tailor the shape and size of the implant to your specific needs, ensuring a seamless integration with your natural features. The materials used in these implants are biocompatible and designed to mimic the natural feel of bone, providing a realistic and durable enhancement. Moreover, the procedure itself is typically performed with minimal scarring, as incisions are strategically placed in inconspicuous areas, such as inside the mouth or beneath the chin.

IDEAL CANDIDATES
FACIAL IMPLANTS ARE IDEAL FOR CREATING STRUCTURE IN DEFICIENT FACIAL AREAS.
Ideal candidates for facial implants are individuals in good overall health who are looking to enhance their facial features, correct asymmetries, or restore lost volume. This procedure is suitable for both men and women who desire a more defined chin, cheekbones, or jawline, or who wish to address volume loss in the temples.
During your consultation, Dr. Anton will evaluate your facial structure, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine if facial implants are the right choice.
CONSULTATION, PREPARATION & PROCEDURE
The first step in your facial implant journey is scheduling a consultation with Dr. Mark Anton. During this consultation, Dr. Anton will thoroughly assess your facial anatomy, discuss your goals, and recommend the best implant options to achieve your desired results.
You will also receive detailed information about the procedure, recovery process, and what to expect in terms of outcomes.
Preparation for facial implant surgery typically involves medical evaluations, lab tests, and possibly adjustments to medications. Dr. Anton will provide specific instructions tailored to your needs to ensure smooth and successful surgery.
Facial implant surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, depending on the extent of the procedure and the patient’s preferences. The surgery involves making small, discreet incisions in the natural creases of the face or inside the mouth to insert the implants. The implants are then carefully positioned to achieve the desired enhancement and secured in place. Once the implants are in place, the incisions are closed with sutures.
The entire procedure usually takes between one and two hours, depending on the complexity and the number of implants being placed. Patients can often combine facial implants with other facial rejuvenation procedures, such as a facelift, to achieve comprehensive and harmonious results.
FACIAL IMPLANTS RECOVERY
Recovery after facial implant surgery varies depending on the type of implant and the individual, but most patients can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the first few days. Pain medication will likely be prescribed to help manage any discomfort.
Following your surgeon’s post-operative care instructions is essential to ensure a smooth recovery. This may include wearing a compression garment or bandage to minimize swelling and support the implant as it heals. Keeping your head elevated and applying cold compresses can also help reduce swelling and ease discomfort.
Swelling and bruising typically begin to subside within one to two weeks, but some residual swelling may persist for a few months. During this time, it’s crucial to avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, or any actions that could increase blood pressure or strain the surgical area, such as exercise, bending, or lifting.
Eating soft foods and avoiding those that require extensive chewing will be recommended during the early recovery phase, particularly if the implants are placed near the jaw or chin. Maintaining proper oral hygiene is vital, and your surgeon will provide specific instructions to ensure the incision sites remain clean and free from infection.
While you will notice an improvement in facial contours shortly after the procedure, final results will continue to develop as the swelling subsides over the following weeks and months. Patience is key, as the body needs time to fully heal and adjust to the new contours.
Attending all scheduled follow-up appointments with your surgeon is important to monitor your progress and address any concerns. They will also advise you on when it’s safe to gradually resume your normal activities and provide guidance on long-term care.
For the first two weeks, patients should avoid any activity that elevates heart rate or blood pressure, such as:
- Exercise
- Sex activity
- Bending
- Heavy Lifting
- Straining
- Stress & Anxiety
- Drinking Alcohol
- Smoking
Initial swelling and bruising usually subside within 4-6 weeks, and any deeper tissue swelling should resolve within six months. The healing process is unique to each patient, and your surgeon will provide personalized guidance throughout your recovery.
WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?
While initial swelling and bruising may temporarily obscure the results, most patients notice a significant improvement in their appearance within the first two weeks. As the healing process continues, the swelling gradually subsides, revealing the enhanced contours and definition provided by the facial implants.
During this early phase of recovery, you’ll start to see a more defined and balanced facial structure, giving you a preview of the outcome. This glimpse of your new appearance can be very encouraging, as it reflects the beginning of the transformation.
FINAL RESULTS
By the 3 to 6-week mark, the full benefits of your facial implants become apparent. At this stage, your face will have adjusted to the implants, and the swelling will have completely resolved, leaving you with a rejuvenated and harmonized appearance.
The results are designed to be both natural and lasting, offering a balanced enhancement that complements your facial features without appearing artificial or overdone.
