Facial Implants Overview

Enhance Your Profile with Facial Implants

In cases where the chin or cheekbones lack definition or require enhancement, facial implants can be a long-term solution. Cheekbones can be augmented to create balance with the rest of the facial features, or a weak chin can be corrected to harmonize with a newly sculpted nose. Dr. Westreich can effortlessly combine facial implants in NYC with Rhinoplasty, your Facelift, or other procedures for a more comprehensive transformation.

What Can I Expect From My Facial Implants Consultation?

The initial step in pursuing facial implants in NYC is to schedule a confidential consultation with Dr. Westreich in the welcoming comfort and privacy of his office. During this time, the doctor will examine your anatomy, photograph you, answer questions, review your medical and surgical history, and begin creating a personalized treatment plan. In order to assist you in better visualizing your outcomes, the doctor will provide you access to a vast library of before and after photographs, as well as advanced computer imaging software, which can project a version of your post-surgical aesthetics.

Undergoing Facial Implant Surgery

For cheek implantation, the procedure will be performed under general anesthesia, although twilight sedation is also an option in many cases. Chin implants can be done under local anesthesia or sedation, based on patient preference. This can be discussed in-depth during your consultation so that you and the doctor arrive at the most comfortable scenario for your needs. Facial implant surgery typically lasts 1-2 hours, as surgical time will depend greatly on whether additional procedures such as blepharoplasty, facelift, or rhinoplasty are being performed in tandem.

Chin Implant

An incision is created submentally (under the chin) or within the lining of the gums. Rest assured that Dr. Westreich will always seek to pursue the most minimally invasive surgical technique that requires the least amount of scarring.

Once a small pocket is formed, the implant is placed within and adjusted to complement the rest of the face. The doctor will then suture the opening, and the healing process can begin.

Cheek Implant

When a client undergoes blepharoplasty, facelift, or a brow lift, the incisions used in these procedures can be reused for facial implant surgery. This minimizes scarring and downtime significantly, and the combination treatment can also be more cost-effective. If cheek implant surgery is performed alone, the incisions will be placed either underneath the eyes or within the upper mouth. Once a carefully formed pocket is created, the doctor will then slide the cheek implants into place, suture the openings, and dress the wounds to reduce post-operative swelling.

Recuperating From Facial Implant Surgery

While some mild pain, discomfort, and swelling are to be expected after getting facial implants in NYC, most clients can expect to manage post-operative pain quite easily through medications prescribed by Dr. Westreich. Patients should feel recovered within 7-10 days. Rigorous exercise should be avoided at first to give the face time to properly heal. Results will be visible right away, but after a few weeks, most of the swelling is gone, and whatever minor swelling is left will slowly abate over several months.
