Facial Implant is a medical terminology given to the process of changing the shape and balance of the face by using implants made of materials like silicon. With the help of facial implant the doctor can build up a diminished chin, enhance the cheek bones or can even reshape the jaw line. Most of the facial implants done are outpatients whereas in special cases the patient might be asked to stay overnight. The operation time for a facila implant varies from 30 minutes to 2 hours and the patient is given a general or local anesthesia along with sedation.

Usually the side effects of the facial implant treatment, seen in the patients are temporary discomfort, numbness, stiffness, bruising or swelling and these get faded away in a day or two. The person can return to their normal work in one week. But people engaged in heavy physical work like sportsperson, will have to wait for at least six weeks after the facial implant treatment. In any case you should follow the instructions of the doctor for pre and post, facial implant treatment. Facial implant is usually done only one time and the result is ever lasting.

The cost of the facial implant treatment varies depending upon the area to be covered and the amount of damage felt. The doctor would advice you about the procedure and the cost of the treatment after considering your problem. Facial implant can almost change the look of the person by making the face look more symmetrical and attractive. The birth defects can also be corrected with the help of facial implants. The person can also be made to look younger by restoring the shape that has got affected due to the growing age.

Any person who is physically and mentally fit can undergo the treatment of facial implant. Usually cheek and chin implants are made but sometimes, nasal implant is also done by the plastic surgeon in certain circumstances. Any person who wants to correct the defects in his face either by some accident, ageing or birth defects can undergo this treatment under proper medical advice.

Generally a week or two is sufficient as the recovery time from facial implant and the patient is immediately released from the hospital in few hours after the operation. But if multiple facial implant treatments are done at a time then the recovery time might exceed. The person should understand beforehand that what changes are going to occur after the operation and reasonably accept them.
