What Is Facial Augmentation?

Facial augmentation is a popular type of cosmetic procedure that’s designed to restore youth, vitality, and fullness to the face. We carefully place implants around specific areas of your face (often the cheeks, chin, and jawline) to accentuate your natural facial proportions.

Jaw augmentation

Jaw augmentation is designed to define the jawline more clearly. It may involve placing implants near the jaw angle or along the jawline, contributing to a more pronounced and contoured look

For those looking to restore volume or add fullness, cheek augmentation offers a solution. It's especially appealing to those who have experienced significant weight loss or wish to add a youthful contour to their facial structure.

Facial Augmentation FAQs

Your Facial Augmentation Consultation

At Impressions Face + Body, every consultation combines professional diligence and personal touch. We start by comprehensively reviewing your medical history and discussing your aspirations to ensure your enhancement goals are met. The journey kicks off with an engaging and thorough facial assessment, followed by crafting a bespoke procedural plan, ensuring clarity and excitement about what to expect every step of the way.

How To Prepare for Your Facial Augmentation

We recognize the uniqueness of every individual's needs, which is why we provide personalized guidance on preparing for your facial augmentation. Typically, this preparation may include pausing certain medications, refraining from smoking, and limiting alcohol intake. Rest assured, we will navigate these pre-procedure steps with you.

During Your Facial Augmentation Procedure

The duration of your procedure may vary, ranging from a swift 30 minutes to a more involved 4 hours, contingent on the complexity and number of implants. Comfort is our priority, so we'll opt for the most appropriate anesthesia, from general to local, with sedation, to ensure a pain-free experience. Precise incisions and implant placements are performed artfully to achieve your desired outcome.

Facial Augmentation Aftercare & Recovery Timeline

Post-procedure care is paramount, and we'll equip you with detailed aftercare instructions and a thoughtful care package designed for optimal comfort during recovery. Initial swelling, redness, and sensitivity are normal within the first couple of weeks, after which you can eagerly anticipate a gradual unveiling of your renewed facial contours, ready to embrace the rhythm of your everyday life once more.

Am I a Good Candidate for Facial Augmentation?

Ideal candidates for facial augmentation are those who are in good health, legally of adult age and carry realistic expectations about the enhancements they wish to achieve. It’s about aligning your external appearance with your internal sense of self, and we’re here to guide you through making this decision with confidence and support.

How much does facial augmentation cost in Chicago?

We’ll walk you through the estimated costs during your consultation so you understand the breakdown.

How painful is facial augmentation?

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.

Are there any facial augmentation risks?

Facial augmentation can come with certain risks, including bleeding, poor healing of incisions, skin sensitivity, and swelling. By taking precautions during the post-recovery period, these risks will be lessened. We’ll walk you through ways to minimize risks.

How long do facial augmentation results last?

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.

What procedures pair well with facial augmentation?

If you’re thinking of doubling up on that youthful glow, a facelift is one procedure that pairs well with chin or cheek augmentation.

Do facial implants look natural?

When done well (and with a skilled surgeon like those available at Impressions Face + Body), facial implants can certainly look natural. Dr. Dayan and our specialists have years of experience carrying out facial augmentation procedures, and they can advise you if you want specific tweaks that may look unnatural.
