FACIAL
IMPLANTS
What are
Facial Implants?
The Facial Implants
procedure changes the balance and shape of the face. It helps
strengthen the jaw line and stabilizes your cheekbones or chin as well
as the rest of your features. This procedure is done by using implants
to add prominence to the cheekbones, reshape the jaw or improve a
receding chin. You can choose from a myriad of implants available,
which are made from different materials as well.
Risks on
undergoing Facial Implants
As with all other cosmetic procedures,
risks are inevitable. A facial implant
can have errors when it comes to the alignment and may need another
operation to correct it. Infections are very common with this surgery
but may be prevented when done by a very good plastic
surgeon. Should infections
occur and if it does not clear up with the help of antibiotics after
the treatment, the implant might have to be removed temporarily and be
replaced upon the doctor’s advice.
