Facial Implants

Facial Balancing and Enhancing

Facial implants are used to bring balance to the appearance of your face. These implants are commonly used to enhance the chin, jaw and/or cheeks.

Find a Plastic Surgeon

What should I expect during a consultation for facial implants?

During your facial implants consultation be prepared to discuss:

Your surgical goals
Medical conditions, drug allergies and medical treatments
Current medications, vitamins, herbal supplements, alcohol, tobacco and drug use
Previous surgeries

Your plastic surgeon will also:

Evaluate your general health status and any pre-existing health conditions or risk factors
Take photographs
Discuss your options
Recommend a course of treatment
Discuss likely outcomes of facial implant surgery and any risks or potential complications

Be sure to ask questions. To help, we have prepared a checklist of questions to ask your plastic surgeon during your facial implants consultation.

It's very important to understand all aspects of your facial implant surgery. It's natural to feel some anxiety, whether it's excitement for your anticipated new look or a bit of preoperative stress. Don't be shy about discussing these feelings with your plastic surgeon.
