PlastyWhat it involves
Facial implants add definition to selected facial structures, including the jaw, chin and cheeks. They do not treat every cause of asymmetry or correct a bite problem. Bone and soft-tissue assessment are both important.
Risks and limitations
Infection or implant movement can require further surgery. Discuss changes in sensation, visible asymmetry and the implications of keeping a permanent device.
Recovery and follow-up
Swelling can make the first appearance misleading. Recovery depends on implant location and incision route. Ask about eating, oral care, activity and what future removal would involve.
Questions for your consultation
Why use an implant rather than another approach? Can it be removed, and what appearance might remain afterward?
