What is the procedure for chin and cheek implants

 Implants for the Face

Chin and cheek implants are other terms for the same thing.

Facial implants are used to enhance, reconstruct, or revitalise the contours of your face. They come in a variety of sizes and styles, and they help to restore your face's contour and/or proportion. Facial implants can be utilised to enhance your chin and jaw, create the sculpted cheekbones you desire, or fill in the tear trough.

When Should Chin and cheek implants  Be Considered?

• If you have a weak, receding chin and want to strengthen your jawline by making it more projecting, you need chin surgery.

• If you want to make your cheekbones look more defined and plump,

• If you want to restore the shape and proportion of your face features that have been weak as a result of ageing,

• If you want to repair asymmetries or deformities in your face caused by an injury or inherited problems,

Considerations

Pros: Corrects asymmetry and weaknesses in the face, particularly in the chin, cheeks, and jaw.

Doesn't necessitate surgeries on other regions of the body (for example, fat grafting from the belly to give volume to the face).

Procedures are simple to execute and have long-lasting results.

Cons

Infection is a possibility, which may necessitate implant removal.

Implants that shift or become misaligned might cause contour irregularities.

It's possible that facial nerves and musculature will be damaged.

Do you think you'd be a good fit for facial implants?

The following are some of the most prevalent reasons why you might want to think about getting face implants:

You have a weak, receding chin and want to increase the projection of your chin to improve the appearance of your profile.

Your jawline is unclear or weak, which makes it difficult to frame your face and differentiate your neck.

You want to make your cheeks look more defined and plump.

You want to improve the contour and proportion of your face, which has become weak as a result of age.

You want to address facial abnormalities that have developed as a result of an injury or a congenital ailment.

There are numerous options for changing the shape of your face. Your aesthetic plastic surgeon may also consider fat grafting, bone repositioning, bone grafting, and dermal grafting in addition to facial implants.

You are most likely a good candidate for these medical spa treatments if you are in good general health, have a positive mindset, and have realistic expectations.

What is the procedure for facial implants?

For all facial locations, the method for inserting facial implants follows a similar pattern.

On the face, surgical markings are painted to aid the surgeon in implant placement and to highlight the position of underlying tissues to avoid.

The patient is placed supine (face-up) on the operating table, and general anaesthesia and a local anaesthetic are provided.

A small incision is made near where the implant will be inserted by the surgeon.

The implant is inserted into a pocket created in the face tissue.

A sterile clamp is used to carefully introduce the implant.

Sutures are used to close the incision, which is then wrapped or taped.
