A lack of prominent features can often be a source of aesthetic concern for individuals seeking to achieve greater facial harmony and definition. While genetics plays a significant role in facial structure, facial implants in Chicago, Aurora, & Oakbrook, Illinois, can effectively address these concerns.
At Rush Facial Plastics, our double board-certified physicians specialize in custom facial augmentation solutions to enhance your natural contours.
What Are Facial Implants?
Facial implants are solid, biocompatible materials meticulously shaped to enhance the underlying bone structure of the face. This facial plastic surgery procedure improves facial contouring by adding volume, definition, and proportion to specific areas.
Facial implants are placed underneath the skin and soft tissues of the face to highlight and accentuate features of facial beauty, including the cheekbones, chin, and jawline. The implants are hidden and discrete, and can be placed without visible incisions or scars.
Benefits of Facial Implants
Patients considering facial implants often report a range of objective physical improvements that contribute to a more balanced and refined facial appearance. The benefits of this procedure include:
- Improved facial symmetry and proportion
- Enhanced definition of the cheekbones, chin, or jawline
- Correction of congenital or trauma-related facial deficiencies
- Creation of a more balanced profile
- Restoration of volume lost due to aging or weight fluctuations
Who Is a Candidate for Facial Implants?
Ideal candidates for facial implants are individuals with underdeveloped cheeks or chins who desire improved facial structure through surgical facial enhancement. Candidates should be in good general health and have realistic expectations regarding the outcomes.
Age is less important than facial anatomy and specific aesthetic goals. Candidates must have fully developed facial bones, which usually occur in the late teens or early twenties. Patients with prior facial surgery may also benefit from implants to restore symmetry or volume loss.
What Happens During the Procedure?
The facial implant procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia for optimal comfort. The specific technique varies depending on the type and location of the implant.
The incisions are meticulously closed once the implant is carefully placed and secured.
Our surgeons employ advanced techniques to minimize visible scarring, with incisions often hidden within natural creases or inside the mouth. Depending on the complexity and number of implants, the duration of the surgery can vary, typically from one to two hours.
What to Expect After the Procedure
After the procedure, expect some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication. A compression garment may be used to reduce swelling and support healing. Most patients resume light activities within a few days but should avoid strenuous exercise and facial impact for several weeks. Swelling typically subsides over several weeks to months, revealing the final results.
Cost of Facial Implants
The cost of facial implants in Chicago can vary significantly based on the type and number of implants used, the complexity of the procedure, the anesthesia fees, and the surgeon’s fees. Because each facial augmentation is highly customized, a precise cost estimate can only be provided after a consultation with one of our double board-certified facial plastic surgeons.
