Facial implant surgery placed implants to contour and shape the face – most commonly by sculpting the cheeks, under the chin, and along the lower jaw. The surgical procedure requires that the surgeon create an incision and place the implants under the skin to provide fullness or definition where you want it. Many people choose to have the implants after trying facial fillers and liking the new look.
Adding volume and increasing symmetry are common reasons patients pursue facial implants.
Before the surgery, you will meet with your facial implant surgeon who will tell you what results you can expect. You will receive instructions on how to prepare for the surgery, such as avoiding certain medications and when you should not eat and drink before the procedure.
Much of the time, the surgery will require general anesthesia.
Recovery from the surgery for your facial implants will depend on where they were placed.
The cost of facial implant surgery can vary widely based on which procedures you are having done. When you meet with your plastic surgeon, you will get an assessment of the cost to help you decide if this procedure is right for you.

This term generally refers to a procedure which inserts solid implant material into one’s cheeks and facial area. Generally, this surgery is chosen to counteract the loss of facial volume which comes naturally with age.
This will depend on the unique circumstances of the patient. However, the average price in 2019 was $2,986.
Absolutely! Bringing volume and mass to the cheeks will give patients a youthful, revitalized look which is sure to lift their confidence.
