Facial Implants: Contouring with implants

If you are bothered by a small chin, weak jaw, or lack of facial contour, you may want to consider facial implants. Facial implants can enhance the underlying structure of the face, improving proportion and balance.

Although facial implants can help to correct most any part of the face, the common areas for their use are the chin, jaw or cheek.

Good candidates for facial implants are:

• Healthy, with no life threatening illnesses or medical conditions that can impair healing

• Non-smokers

• Individuals with a positive outlook and specific goals in mind for improvement of facial features
