Facial Implants

Problem:

Small chin

Weak jaw line

Shallow cheeks

Thin lips

Lack of facial contour

Solution:

Facial implants are specially formed materials compatible with human bone and tissues. They are designed for safe, long-term placement to enhance or augment the physical structure of the face.

Under a general anesthesia, facial implants are placed surgically, through incisions to create a supporting pocket beneath the skin and soft tissues. Surrounding muscle and tissue hold the implant in place. These procedures may be performed alone or as a complement to other facial contouring procedures. Kagan Plastic Surgery can recommend the appropriate techniques to create a structural balance and more attractive appearance to your face with facial implants. VeraFil™ is the latest, most effective advancement in lip augmentation but also successfully used on the nasolabial folds. It is a thin-walled, dual layer, saline filled implant with an adjustable fill volume and a self-sealing fill valve. The amount of saline solution in the implant is tailored to the patient during the implantation procedure. The implant is permanent, does not impede movement and does not cause allergic reactions.
