Facial Implants
Some facial features can feel like a hindrance to the appearance you’ve always wanted. Facial implants offer a permanent way to bring your features into balanced proportion, with results that still look and feel like you.
Schedule a ConsultationTypes of Facial Implants
Facial implants are customized to the patient and the area being treated. The two most common types are:
- Chin Implants: Add projection and definition to the lower face, improving profile balance and strengthening an underdeveloped jawline. A well-placed chin implant can bring the entire face into greater harmony.
- Cheek Implants: Restore or add volume to flat or hollow cheekbones, creating more lift and dimension in the midface. For patients who feel their face lacks a bit of structure, cheek implants can make a significant difference.
Implant material and sizing are selected based on your anatomy and aesthetic goals, and then you and your doctor can come to a decision during your consultation.
What to Expect During Surgery
Facial implant surgery is typically performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the location. Incisions are made in discreet locations — inside the mouth or in small natural folds — so external scarring is minimal. The procedure usually takes one to two hours, and most patients go home the same day.
Why Implants Instead of Fillers?
Injectable fillers can be a good short-term option for some patients, but they require ongoing maintenance and have limits on how much structural change they can achieve. Facial implants are a longer-lasting solution. They are placed once, positioned precisely, and designed to enhance your facial structure for years to come.
For patients who are looking for lasting improvement rather than a temporary fix, implants are often the more satisfying path.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Facial implants work well for patients who are in good health and have specific structural concerns they’ve wanted to address — a chin that recedes in profile, cheeks that lack definition, or a jawline that feels weak. If you’ve found yourself drawn to filters or angles that add structure to your face, implants may be worth exploring.
A consultation with our oral surgeons will determine what’s achievable for your anatomy and what a realistic outcome looks like for you.

Schedule a ConsultationCommon Questions
Facial implants provide structural enhancement that fillers simply can’t replicate. They don’t dissolve, don’t require touch-ups, and offer more significant improvement to facial definition. For patients looking for a lasting result rather than maintenance appointments, implants are often the better long-term investment.
That’s exactly what the consultation is for. Your oral surgeon will assess your facial anatomy, listen to what you’d like to change, and recommend the implant type and size that best suits your goals and proportions. The aim is always a result that looks natural to your face.
The first step is to schedule a consultation with our team. We’ll review your concerns, walk you through your options, and help you understand what to expect from the process — from surgery day through recovery and beyond.
