What Are Facial Implants?
Types of Facial Implants
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
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-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.
Brow Lift
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.
Blepharoplasty
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.

Laser Treatments
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.
- 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?

- Natural Look and Feel: Modern materials mimic natural bone and tissue.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I combine facial implant surgery with body treatments?
Yes, it is possible to combine facial implant surgery with body treatments to address multiple areas at once. While facial implants enhance and define facial features, you may also consider procedures such as laser treatments, tummy tuck, thigh lift, or neck liposuction for a more comprehensive result. In some cases, fat transfer can also be used in conjunction with implants or body contouring to improve volume and symmetry.
Are facial implants used in reconstructive surgery?
Is it possible to combine facial implant procedures with breast reconstruction surgery?
It is possible to combine facial implant procedures with breast reconstruction surgery, depending on your overall health and goals. Some women undergoing mastectomy may choose to have breast augmentation or reconstruction while also seeking to create balance and harmony in their facial appearance. When planned carefully, this approach can enhance quality of life and restore confidence from head to toe.
