What Are Facial Implants?

Facial implants are medical-grade devices designed to enhance structure and improve facial balance. They are commonly placed in areas such as the chin, cheeks, or jawline to add definition or improve proportion. Patients often choose implants to refine their profile, address asymmetry, or strengthen features that feel underdeveloped. At PSG, facial implant procedures are carefully planned to complement each patient’s anatomy. The goal is subtle structural enhancement that looks natural and proportionate over the long term.

As Surrey’s only full-service plastic surgery group, PSG offers experienced, board-certified surgical care within accredited facilities. Several surgeons within the group have extensive experience in facial aesthetic procedures, including chin, cheek, and jawline enhancement. Patients in Surrey, White Rock, and surrounding communities choose PSG for:

  • Clear communication and realistic expectations

Facial implant surgery at PSG focuses on balance and proportion rather than dramatic alteration.

Types of Facial Implants

Facial implants may be placed in several areas to improve structure and contour.

Chin Implants

Enhance projection and balance between the chin, nose, and neck. Often chosen by patients with a recessed or under-projected chin.

Cheek Implants

Restore midface structure and improve contour, particularly in patients with naturally flat or volume-deficient cheeks.

Jaw Implants

Add definition to the lower face and strengthen jawline contour.

Combination Procedures

Facial implants may be combined with rhinoplasty, facelift, neck lift, or fat grafting for more comprehensive facial refinement.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Facial Implants?

You may be a candidate for facial implants if you:

  • Desire improved facial balance or definition
  • Have mild asymmetry or structural deficiency
  • Prefer a long-lasting structural solution rather than temporary fillers
  • Maintain good overall health
  • Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

During consultation, your surgeon will evaluate facial proportions and determine whether implants or alternative treatments best align with your goals.

How Facial Implant Surgery Is Performed

Facial implant surgery is typically performed under general anaesthesia or local anaesthesia with sedation. Incisions are placed discreetly inside the mouth or along natural skin creases to minimize visible scarring.

Surgical Overview

  • The chosen implant is custom-selected for size, shape, and projection.
  • The surgeon creates a pocket in the targeted area (chin, cheek, or jawline).
  • The implant is positioned precisely and secured for symmetry.
  • Incisions are closed with fine sutures for optimal healing.

The procedure generally takes one to two hours, depending on the complexity and number of implants placed.

Recovery and Results

Recovery from facial implant surgery is typically manageable. Swelling, tightness, or temporary numbness may occur for several days. Most patients return to work within one to two weeks, with continued refinement as swelling resolves. Recovery highlights:

  • Swelling improves within 7–10 days
  • Return to most daily activities within 10–14 days
  • Continued contour refinement over 2–3 months
  • Stable, long-term structural enhancement

PSG provides structured follow-up care to monitor healing and ensure balanced results.

Frequently Asked Questions Facial Implants

Are facial implants permanent?

Yes. Facial implants are designed for long-term stability and typically last indefinitely unless they are removed or replaced for aesthetic reasons.

Will the implants feel natural?

Modern implants are made from biocompatible materials that integrate smoothly with surrounding facial tissues, helping create a natural look and feel.

How visible are the scars?

Incisions are placed in discreet locations, often inside the mouth or along natural facial folds, resulting in minimal visible scarring once healed.

Can facial implants be combined with other procedures?

Yes. Facial implants are often combined with procedures such as rhinoplasty, facelift surgery, or fat grafting to enhance overall facial balance and harmony.

What is the difference between implants and fillers?

Dermal fillers provide temporary volume enhancement, while facial implants offer a permanent structural solution for improving facial definition and contour.
