Who is a good candidate for facial implants?

Plastic surgery with facial implants is best performed on people whose head and skull have reached physical maturity, which generally occurs in late adolescence.

You may be a good candidate for facial implants if you:

• Are physically healthy
• Do not smoke
• Have a positive outlook and specific goals in mind for improvement of facial contours

If you are bothered by a small chin, weak jaw or lack of facial contour, plastic surgery with facial implants may benefit you.
