During the procedure, the surgeon makes intraoral incisions and inserts the implant through the incision (there is no scar). The implant is then fixed in place and the incision is closed with sutures. The procedure usually lasts between one and two hours and can be performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of the surgery.
Facial implants are a type of cosmetic surgery that involves the insertion of synthetic implants into various areas of the face to improve its shape and structure. The implants can be made of various materials, such as silicone, polyethylene or Gore-Tex, and are available in different shapes and sizes to suit the individual needs and goals of each patient.
- Improve the balance and symmetry of the face.
- Correct facial asymmetry or proportion.
- Improve contour and definition of facial features.
