What Are Facial Implants?
Facial implants are surgical procedures designed to enhance the structure and contour of the face. At Allure Plastic Surgery Center, we specialize in both cheek and chin implants. Cheek implants add volume to the cheekbones, while chin implants provide better definition and balance to the chin. All of our facial implants are customized to fit the unique contours of your face. Dr. Taylor carefully selects and shapes the implants to ensure they blend seamlessly with your existing facial structure, creating a harmonious and natural appearance.
What Are Facial Implants Made Of?
Facial implants are typically made from biocompatible materials designed to integrate safely with your body’s tissues. The most common materials used for facial implants are:
- Silicone: A flexible, durable material that feels natural under the skin. Silicone implants are easy to shape and customize to achieve the desired contour.
- Polyethylene (Medpor®): A porous material that allows for tissue ingrowth, which can provide a more stable integration with the surrounding tissues.
- Gore-Tex®: A soft, porous material that also encourages tissue integration and is commonly used for its flexibility and natural feel.
What are the Benefits of Facial Implants?
Facial implants offer many benefits, including the ability to:
- Enhance facial contours
- Correct facial asymmetry
- Restore volume lost due to aging
- Achieve a more balanced and harmonious facial profile
- Improve self-confidence and overall appearance

How Are Facial Implants Done?
The facial implant treatment process will vary depending on the type of implant that is being inserted.
Cheek Implants
Cheek implant surgery typically involves the following steps:
- Anesthesia: The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation.
- Incisions: Dr. Taylor makes small incisions inside the mouth or along the lower eyelid to minimize visible scarring.
- Implant Placement: The implants are carefully positioned over the cheekbones to enhance their projection and contour.
- Closure: The incisions are closed with sutures, and the area is bandaged to support the new contours during healing.
Chin Implants
Chin implant surgery involves these steps:
- Anesthesia: Similar to cheek implants, chin implants are performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation.
- Incisions: Dr. Taylor makes a small incision either inside the mouth or under the chin.
- Implant Placement: The implant is positioned over the chin bone to achieve the desired enhancement.
- Closure: The incision is closed with sutures, and a bandage is applied to support the new chin contour.
What Is the Facial Implant Recovery Process Like?
Recovery from facial implant surgery varies depending on the specifics of the procedure. Generally, patients can expect some initial swelling and bruising, which will subside in the weeks following treatment. You may also experience some mild discomfort during this time, although it is easily managed with prescribed medications and/or many over-the-counter pain relievers. Most patients require a recovery period of about 1 to 2 weeks before returning to normal activities.
How Much Do Facial Implants Cost?
The cost of facial implants varies based on factors such as the type of implants used and the complexity of the procedure. During your consultation, Dr. Taylor will discuss the cost involved and provide detailed information about our payment options. We accept cash, checks, and most major credit cards and offer financing through CareCredit® to make the procedure more affordable.
