Facial Implants
Conveniently located to serve Orange County, CA
Plastic surgeons use facial implants to improve and enhance facial contours. Frequently, these implants will help provide a more harmonious balance to your face and features so that you feel better about how you look.
There are many implants available, manufactured from various materials. They may help strengthen a jawline or bring the chin or cheekbones into balance with the rest of the face.
Facial implants can enhance your appearance. If you are looking for improvement, not perfection, in your appearance and are realistic in your expectations, you may find that a facial implant is the right choice for you.
Dr. Reichner,
I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your kindness, not to mention your skill. You did a great job on my face. I’m doing my best to spread your name around. I hope we meet again for additional improvements.

Plastic surgeons, like Dr. Reichner, will frequently use such implants to bring better balance to the features of a younger patient. For instance, a teenage girl may want her nose reshaped or her chin brought forward so that these traits are better proportioned. The more mature patient may choose to have an implant placed in conjunction with another cosmetic procedure. For example, during a facelift, a patient may wish to have implants placed over the cheekbones to help restore a more youthful appearance. Implants may also be selected to fill out a face that appears “sunken” or tired.
Ideal Candidates for Facial Implants
Healthy patients with fully developed facial features are excellent candidates for facial implants. Non-smokers who do not have healing issues are ideal candidates. Facial implants are appropriate for patients who have realistic expectations for what facial implants can achieve.
Your Facial Implant Consultation
We will listen to your concerns regarding your facial structure. You must inform us about your goals for getting a facial implant. Disclose past procedures and any allergies. We will evaluate your medical records to reduce the chance of complications and determine the ideal facial implant procedure for your needs.
We will help you prepare for your facial implant procedure and recovery process. We encourage you to raise all your concerns so we can address them during this consultation.
The Facial Augmentation Procedure
The duration of a facial implant procedure will depend on the number of facial implants involved and the technique used in the procedure. The patient will be prepared for the procedure by administering anesthesia. Incisions will then be made in the facial area, depending on the chosen facial implant.
The selected facial implant will be positioned according to the treatment plan and the patient’s goals. The incisions will be closed with sutures to finish the procedure.
Healing and Recovery
Dressings will be used after the procedure to support the facial implant and keep it in place. You will feel temporary swelling, bruising, and discomfort after the procedure.
The recovery period will last for a few weeks, depending on the healing process and the number of implants placed. You should follow the aftercare instructions closely to minimize potential complications and ensure the best results.
The Cost of Facial Implants
The cost of the facial implant procedure will depend on the chosen implants. The treatment plan and techniques used may affect the overall price of the procedure.
