During Your Facial Augmentation Procedure
Your facial augmentation procedure is designed to enhance your facial appearance by adding volume, definition, and balance to specific areas such as the cheeks, chin, or jawline. Depending on the number and type of facial implants used, your procedure may take between 30 minutes to 4 hours. As an outpatient procedure, you'll be able to return home the same day. You can expect improved facial symmetry, a more defined jaw line, and a rejuvenated appearance. Our expert plastic surgeons will ensure that your procedure is as comfortable as possible, using advanced techniques to minimize downtime and maximize results.
Facial Augmentation Aftercare & Recovery Timeline
The recovery process varies depending on the type of facial implant surgery performed. Generally, you can expect initial swelling and bruising to subside within the first two weeks. Most patients can return to work and normal activities after one week, though it's advised to avoid strenuous activities for at least 4-6 weeks. The final results of your facial augmentation will become more apparent as the swelling continues to diminish..
Facial Augmentation Aftercare
Proper aftercare is essential for achieving the best results from your facial augmentation. Here are some tips to help you during the healing process:
- Follow all post-operative instructions provided by your surgeon.
- Avoid strenuous activities for at least two weeks.
- Keep your head elevated to reduce swelling.
- Refrain from smoking as it can impede the healing process.
- Attend all follow-up appointments to monitor your recovery.
Am I a Good Candidate for Facial Augmentation?
Good candidates for facial augmentation are individuals in good health who seek to improve their facial appearance with facial implants. Ideal candidates are typically non-smokers who have realistic expectations about the outcomes. If you're looking to enhance your facial symmetry, define your jawline, or restore volume to your cheeks with cheek implants or chin implants, you might be an excellent candidate for this procedure. Facial implant surgery can also be an option for those who want long-lasting results that don't require frequent touch-ups like dermal fillers or fat transfer.
Facial Augmentation Benefits
- Harmonize Facial Symmetry: Achieve a balanced and proportionate facial structure that reflects your desired symmetry.
- Highlight Your Preferred Features: Enhance and emphasize your chosen features to showcase them as you've always wanted.
- Boost Self-Confidence: Feel empowered and self-assured, knowing that your face—the first point of engagement in social interactions—reflects your inner confidence.
- Complementarity with Other Procedures: Facial augmentation works with other cosmetic enhancements, such as facelifts or rhinoplasty, for a comprehensive approach to aesthetic refinement.
We’ll walk you through the estimated facial implants costs during your consultation so you understand the breakdown.
Because facial augmentation is performed with either general anesthesia or a combination of local anesthesia and sedation, you won’t feel any pain during the procedure. During recovery, you may feel sore and uncomfortable due to potential swelling and bruising, but pain medication can help mitigate this.
Facial implants last indefinitely, but due to the natural aging process or any changes to your aesthetic preferences that may develop, you can choose to get them removed down the line.
If you’re thinking of doubling up on that youthful glow, a facelift is one procedure that pairs well with chin or cheek augmentation.
