What Are Facial Implants?

Facial implants are biocompatible silicone or porous polyethylene implants designed to enhance facial contours. Common types of facial implants include:

• Chin Implants – Strengthen a weak or recessed chin for a more defined profile.
• Jaw Implants – Improve jawline definition and symmetry.
• Cheek Implants – Restore lost volume and add contour to the midface.

These implants are designed to feel natural and permanent, blending seamlessly with your existing facial structure.

Benefits of Facial Implants
