Achieve a Harmonious, Sculpted Appearance With Facial Implants

Facial implants offer a powerful solution to enhance the contours of your face, providing definition and balance in areas that may lack structure. From augmenting your chin and jawline to adding volume to your cheeks, implants can create a harmonious profile that complements your unique features. Whether you’re seeking a subtle refinement or a more pronounced transformation, facial implants are designed to bring your vision to life. Our patients choose facial implants not only to highlight their most attractive features but also to correct facial asymmetry, enhance a youthful look, or even make other areas—like the nose—appear more proportionate. With precise sizing and expert placement, Dr. Paul Leong will help you achieve results that look natural and beautifully balanced.

How Facial Implants Can Transform Your Look

Some of the most attractive and striking faces feature well-defined jawlines, full cheeks, and prominent chins. These elements create a strong, structured appearance that radiates confidence. A well-placed facial implant can bring these features to life, enhancing your natural beauty. Facial implants aren’t just for aesthetic enhancement—they can also help make other facial features less prominent.

For instance, augmenting the chin may help reduce the apparent size of the nose. Additionally, implants can correct facial deformities resulting from birth or injury or help rejuvenate the face by restoring youthful volume. Many men choose facial implants to achieve a more angular, masculine facial structure.

Are Facial Implants Safe?

Facial implants have been safely used for decades, and with advancements in materials and techniques, they are more popular and effective than ever. The implants are made from biocompatible materials, which significantly reduces the risk of rejection or complications. With an experienced surgeon like Dr. Leong, facial implant surgery is typically straightforward and has a high success rate.

However, as with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks. Rare complications include infection or shifting of the implant over time. Dr. Leong will discuss these risks thoroughly during your consultation, ensuring you are well-informed and comfortable with your decision.

The Facial Implant Procedure: What Happens on Surgery Day?

Facial implant surgery is performed under local or general anesthesia, ensuring a comfortable experience. The specific technique used depends on the area being treated:

Chin Implants: Dr. Leong typically makes a small incision beneath the chin, though it can also be made inside the mouth along the lower lip.
Jaw Implants: The incision is typically made on the inside of the lower lip.
Cheek Implants: Incisions are made either inside the mouth or along the lower eyelid, depending on the desired result.

If you are combining facial implant surgery with another procedure, such as a facelift or rhinoplasty, the incision locations may vary. The size and shape of the implant are carefully selected before surgery to match the natural proportions of your face and achieve the desired outcome. The procedure generally takes about one to two hours, depending on the complexity, and is performed on an outpatient basis.

After Your Facial Implant Surgery: What to Expect

You will notice immediate changes following the procedure, but swelling and bruising are expected and will subside over the course of about two weeks. Although you’ll see a difference right away, the full results of your facial implant surgery will become more apparent as the swelling resolves.

Dr. Leong will provide detailed post-operative care instructions, and it’s crucial to avoid strenuous physical activity during the initial healing period. Your follow-up appointment will allow Dr. Leong to evaluate your progress, address any concerns, and compare your before and after photos to track your results.

Cost of Facial Implants in NYC

The cost of facial implants can vary based on several factors, including:

The area being treated
The type and size of the implant
The complexity of the procedure
The surgeon’s expertise and location

During your consultation for facial implants in NYC, Dr. Leong will provide you with a detailed breakdown of the costs involved and discuss available financing options.
