Unlike short-term procedures like dermal fillers, facial implants become a permanent part of your facial structure.

What Are Facial Implants?

Facial implants are used to augment or emphasize particular features to create facial harmony. Made of soft, synthetic material (typically silicone), the implants are compatible with human tissues and look and feel completely natural. Facial implants are frequently used in conjunction with another procedure, but can be done alone as well.

Cheek implants

Cheek implants can restore youthful plumpness, volume, and definition to the mid-face once the skin has become droopy due to age or weight loss. Cheek implants are a great option for patients who have narrow/flat faces, or who have lost cheek contour due to age, congenital deficiency, disease, or injury. There are three basic types of cheek implants that are used: malar, sub-malar, and combined malar/sub-malar.

Malar implants

Malar implants are used for patients who have adequate tissue in the cheek area but are deficient in the area closer to the temple, and want just a high cheekbone look. The implant results in cheekbones with a higher arch.

Sub-malar implants

Sub-malar implants are used to get that attractive, youthful “apple in cheeks” appearance. By filling this area, the cheeks are restored a fullness that eliminates the sunken look that is associated with age or unhealthiness.

Combined malar/sub-malar implants

The combined malar/sub-malar is a larger implant that is exactly what it sounds like: it treats both the cheekbone and cheek areas to provide volume and definition.

PermaLip implants

PermaLip™ by SurgiSil™ is a facial implant created specifically to enhance the fullness of the lips. Made of a soft solid silicone polymer and using advanced implant technology, PermaLip is performed via an injection contouring process. The implants are placed using tiny incisions made inside the corners of the mouth.

Temporal Shell Implants

For many adults, with age comes a hollowing of the temple area. This can make an individual appear more aged or sickly than they actually are, and many look for a permanent way to correct this. Temporal shell implants are an excellent option to volumize the temple area when they have depressions in them.

Chin Implants

If you dislike your small or recessed chin, a chin implant can provide definition and improve the appearance of your entire face and profile. In men, this is particularly effective because a strong chin is associated with masculinity. In women, a chin implant can soften the appearance of the mouth and help it to look more attractive. In addition, chin implants can help both men and women look slimmer and more youthful.

Jaw Implants

These implants widen the jaw area to correct a weak jawline. This results in an improved, more sculpted appearance, and often brings a harmonious balance to the entire face.
