Facial implants can enhance your appearance and self-esteem. If you’re seeking improvement, not perfection, in your look and have realistic expectations, undergoing a facial implant procedure may be the right choice.

We often use these implants to achieve a better balance of features in a young patient. For instance, a teenager may need to reshape their nose and slightly advance their chin to make their features more proportionate.

Implants can also be used to enhance faces that appear sad or tired.
