First Things First: What Are Facial Implants?

Facial implants are solid, pre-shaped materials designed to enhance or augment the physical structure of your face. Most commonly used in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery to improve facial contours and symmetry. There is a facial implant to suit everyone’s needs:

  • Chin implants are used to enhance the size and shape of the chin, providing better facial harmony
  • Cheek implants add volume to the cheeks, giving a more youthful and defined appearance
  • Nasal implants are used in rhinoplasty to improve the shape and structure of the nose
  • Lip implants provide fuller, more defined lips

They also can be made from various materials:

  • Silicone is the most popular choice, due to its flexibility and natural feel
  • Polyethylene is known for its durability and ability to integrate with natural tissue
  • Gore-Tex is a porous material that allows tissue to grow into it, providing a more natural look and feel

At Northeastern Plastic Surgery Center, you are our priority. That’s why each and every of our procedures encompasses quite a few steps, so you can get Dr. Fodero’s professional opinion, have all of your doubts answered, and arrive at the operating room feeling calm, taken care of, and excited about what’s to come.

1. Consultation

During your initial consultation, you will get to discuss your goals and expectations with Dr. Fodero. Thanks to his aesthetic eye, he will be able to evaluate your facial structure and recommend the best type of implant for your specific goals.

2. Surgery

Facial implant procedures are typically performed under general anesthesia. Dr. Fodero will make small incisions in inconspicuous areas, such as inside the mouth or along natural creases to insert the implants.

3. Recovery 

After your facial implant surgery, you may experience some swelling and bruising, which should come down within a few weeks. Dr.Fodero will instruct you with post-op care instructions to ensure you heal in no time.

How Can I Prepare for Facial Implant Surgery?

To ensure a smooth, hassle-free procedure take into consideration the following points before surgery day:

  • Have your medical records at hand, your surgeon will take a detailed medical history and perform a physical exam to ensure you’re fit for surgery
  • Smoking can impair healing, try to quit at least 6 weeks prior to surgery 
  • Let your surgeon know about what medications you take, as some like aspirin and anti-inflammatory drugs can increase bleeding
  • Stay well-hydrated before and after surgery to promote healing
