With Dr. Mark Kohout
What are Facial Implants?
Facial implants are medical devices used to adjust the structure and appearance of facial features. They are typically made from biocompatible materials like silicone or porous polyethylene. Commonly used for chin, cheek, or jaw augmentation, facial implants can alter facial harmony. The procedure is often performed to address congenital or acquired facial imbalances and can help increase definition and balance facial contours. Recovery time varies, and results are generally long-lasting.
Who May Benefit

Alleviate underdeveloped or uneven facial features.
Address congenital defects or trauma-related deformities.

How is the procedure performed?
Consultation
The procedure begins with a consultation to assess your facial features and determine the appropriate implant size and placement.
Anaesthesia and Incisions
The surgery is performed under general anaesthesia, and small incisions are made in discreet areas, such as inside the mouth or under the chin, to insert the implants.
Implant Placement
The implants are placed to modify facial contours, and the incisions are closed, after which the patient is monitored during the recovery phase.

What is the Recovery like?
Recovery from Facial Implants typically involves a few key stages.
- Swelling and bruising are to be expected. They can be manageable with prescribed medication.
- Limit physical activities and rest during the initial recovery period.
- Regular follow-up visits are important for monitoring healing progress.

What are the Risks?
Facial implant surgery carries some risks, including infection, scarring, asymmetry, nerve damage, or an adverse reaction to anaesthesia. Some patients may experience prolonged swelling or dissatisfaction with the final results, which may require additional procedures. It’s essential to discuss these risks thoroughly with your surgeon to make sure you have realistic expectations and make informed decisions regarding your treatment.
