Facial Implants

Defined cheekbones and angles of the lower jaw help to create improved facial contours and balance. The role of facial implants is to improve deficient areas of the face. Implants come in a  variety of shapes and sizes allowing the procedure to be customized. These are usually placed in combination with corrective jaw surgery and occasionally as a separate procedure.
