What Are Facial Implants?

Facial implants are biocompatible devices designed to enhance, augment, or reconstruct the contours of your face. Whether you are seeking a more defined chin, fuller cheeks, or a stronger jawline, implants are tailored to your unique anatomy for natural-looking enhancement.
How Facial Implants Work
Facial implants are gently positioned beneath the skin and soft tissue, precisely augmenting areas where bone structure may be lacking or imbalanced. Over time, these implants integrate with your natural tissues, providing a permanent solution for facial contouring.

Types of Facial Implants

Facial implants come in several forms, each chosen based on your goals, anatomy, and preferences.

Cheek Implants

Cheek implants enhance the midface by adding volume and definition to the cheekbones. This type of implant is ideal for individuals with flat or hollow cheeks, whether due to genetics or age-related volume loss. By lifting and contouring the midface, cheek implants restore youthful balance and structure, creating a more refreshed and sculpted appearance without ongoing fillers.

Chin implants strengthen a recessed or underdeveloped chin, improving facial harmony and enhancing the profile. A well-defined chin brings proportion to the face, especially in relation to the nose and jawline. Whether you want to refine your side profile or bring better balance to your facial features, a chin implant can offer subtle yet powerful improvements.

Jaw implants add width and definition to the lower face, creating a stronger, more structured appearance. They are often chosen by patients who feel their jawline lacks prominence or symmetry. Beyond aesthetics, improving jawline definition can positively impact self-image, helping patients feel more confident in their appearance from every angle.

The Facial Implant Procedure

Consultation

Your journey starts with a personalized consultation. Dr. Bailey will review your medical history, discuss your goals, and utilize digital imaging to help you visualize potential outcomes. He will also explain the advantages of each implant type and recommend the best option for your anatomy.

Facial implant surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of your procedure. Dr. Bailey will help determine the safest and most comfortable option during preoperative planning.
Dr. Bailey uses small, well-concealed incisions inside the mouth or under the chin to minimize visible scarring. In some cases, incisions may also be placed near the jawline or along natural creases to maintain a discreet appearance while allowing optimal access for implant placement.
The chosen implant is carefully positioned and secured. Chin implants can be customized in size and projection, ensuring seamless integration with your jaw and profile. Dr. Bailey’s meticulous technique prioritizes both aesthetics and function.
Once the implant is in place, the incision is closed with fine sutures to support proper healing and reduce tension on the surrounding tissue. Dissolvable stitches are often used for incisions inside the mouth, while external incisions are closed in a way that minimizes the appearance of any scar.

Add-On Procedures

Facelift

Combining facial implants with a facelift can produce more comprehensive results by addressing structural volume and surface-level signs of aging. While implants enhance contour and definition, a facelift smooths sagging skin and tightens underlying tissues, helping patients achieve a more youthful, refreshed appearance.

A brow lift can be performed alongside facial implants to elevate a heavy or drooping brow and smooth lines across the forehead. This procedure brightens the upper face and can enhance the overall harmony of your features, especially when paired with mid or lower facial enhancements.

Also known as eyelid surgery, blepharoplasty removes excess skin, fat, and puffiness from the upper or lower eyelids. Combined with facial implants, it helps rejuvenate the eye area and creates a more alert, rested look that complements your newly defined facial structure.

Ear surgery, or otoplasty, is often chosen by patients who want to reshape or reposition the ears for better symmetry. This procedure can subtly refine your profile and is a natural complement to chin or jaw implants, especially for those seeking a more balanced side view.
Laser treatments can improve skin texture, tone, and pigmentation, providing a smooth, radiant finish that enhances the results of your facial implants. These treatments can often be scheduled as a follow-up appointment to help you maintain youthful, healthy-looking skin over time.
Recovery After Plastic Surgery Banner

Recovery After Plastic Surgery

You can expect mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness for several days following surgery. Most patients return to work or school within 7-10 days, with residual swelling subsiding over a few weeks. Initial results are visible almost immediately, but your final look will emerge as swelling resolves over several months. Dr. Bailey provides detailed aftercare instructions and schedules follow-up visits to monitor your progress.

Typical Recovery Timeline
  • Days 1–3: Expect mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness. Rest and support from family and friends can be helpful during this initial stage of healing.
  • Week 1: Most patients begin to feel more comfortable. Follow all aftercare instructions provided by your doctor to ensure proper healing.
  • Days 7–10: Many people return to work or school. Swelling may persist, but continues to improve gradually.
  • Weeks 3–4: Significant improvement in swelling and bruising. You will begin to see more defined results as your face continues healing.
  • Months 2–3: Residual swelling fades, and your final look becomes more visible. Regular follow-up visits with your doctor help track your healing progress.
  • Month 6 and beyond: Full healing is typically complete, and your results are well-established, giving you long-lasting facial definition and improved confidence.

Who Is an Ideal Candidate?

You may be an excellent candidate for facial implants if you:
  • Desire permanent improvement in facial symmetry or contours
  • Are in good physical health and do not smoke
  • Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
  • Prefer a solution that outlasts dermal fillers
During your consultation with Dr. Bailey, your facial structure, skin quality, and goals will be assessed to ensure facial implants are the right approach for your needs. Sometimes, non-surgical fillers or complementary facial procedures may be discussed as alternatives or additions for optimal results.
