FACIAL IMPLANT
WHAT IS FACIAL IMPLANT?
It is done to make the cheekbones more significant with some synthetic (silicone, etc.) materials, as well as to give the face a younger and fresher appearance. These are also called cheek implants. It is also called malar augmentation (cheekbone augmentation).
WHICH ARE THE TECHNIQUES USED IN FACIAL IMPLANT PROCEDURE?
A small incision under the chin or inside the mouth allows the surgeon to apply the chin implant directly onto the bone.
Cheek implants are usually placed directly on the cheekbone (or lower) through an incision in the mouth. The shapes and sizes of these implants are varied.
IN WHICH SITUATIONS CAN YOU HAVE A FACE IMPLANT?
Implants applied to the face improve your appearance and strengthen your self-confidence. If you are looking for an improvement in appearance rather than perfection and you are realistic about your expectations, a facial implant may be the right choice for you.
Such implants are used to make the facial features of relatively young patients more balanced than they are. For example, a young girl may want her nose reshaped or her chin made more prominent so that her facial features are more proportional.
A more mature patient may want an implant to be placed along with another cosmetic intervention. For example, in a facelift, implants are placed on the cheekbones to provide a younger appearance. Also, implants can be preferred to fill a "sunken" or tired looking face.
POST-PROCEDURE RECOVERY PROCESS
When this procedure is done through the mouth, it does not leave any traces. After the application, it is recommended to feed with liquid foods for about 6 days and gargle. The patient can return to his normal daily life in 3-7 days.
WHAT KIND OF RECOVERY WILL I HAVE AFTER THE FACIAL IMPLANT?
After facial implant surgery, the patient is discharged the same day and can put on make-up the next day. The patient returns to daily life within a few days. It is very normal to feel aches and pains for 4-5 days. There is usually no bruising after the surgery, but edema persists for an average of 8-10 days. Therefore, it is recommended that the patient make frequent ice compresses. The results of the face (chin-cheek) implant surgery are clearly visible after about two months.
HOW LONG DOES THE FACIAL IMPLANT LAST?
Implants are materials that are produced to remain in the patient's body for life without harm and are easily removed when desired. These implants are produced in various sizes and shapes. Especially medpor and hard silicone implants are often preferred by doctors because of their trouble-free use.
TO WHOM CAN IT BE APPLIED?
Facial implants, which are ideal for people with asymmetry problems on their faces, are a very attractive application for people who see such incompatibilities as a problem. Women who want to have this surgery must be over the age of 15. Because the facial bones of women only complete their development after the age of 15 and settle into place.
