Facial Implants
Chin, cheek and jawline implants — used selectively, when bone-level structure is the right answer.
Overview
Facial Implants — in our words.
Facial implants address volume and projection at the bone level. They are an alternative to fillers for patients whose underlying skeletal structure is the limiting factor.
We select implant cases narrowly — most patients are better served by fat transfer or fillers. When implants are right, they are durable and predictable.
Who it's for
- Patients whose chin projection is deficient by skeletal measurement.
- Patients whose cheek bone definition is genetically low and unresponsive to fillers.
Technique
How we operate.
Solid-silicone implants placed through small intra-oral or sub-mental incisions and secured to the periosteum.

Return to social life
Most patients return to office and social life by week two.
Risks & honesty
What we don't pretend isn't true.
- No surgery is risk-free. We discuss the specific risks of your case in consultation, not as boilerplate.
- Individual results vary. Patient anatomy, age, healing biology and aftercare all shape the outcome.
- Revision rates across our recorded series are below the published industry average — but they are not zero.
- Implants are inert but foreign; infection risk exists and is managed with intra-operative protocols.
- Migration is rare with proper fixation.
No surgical or non-surgical procedure is risk-free. Individual results vary. This page is a summary; the full discussion happens in consultation.
Questions
Questions worth answering.
Yes. Solid-silicone implants are secured to the bone but are not permanent by design — they can be removed or exchanged in a further procedure if your goals change. That reversibility is one reason implants remain a considered option alongside fat transfer and fillers.
