This procedure may be performed alone or in conjunction with other procedures such as rhinoplasty, cheek augmentation or a facelift. There are a variety of facial implants that may be used.
The implant is first selected so that the size and shape best fit the patient. A small incision is then made on the skin just beneath the chin. Once the incision is made, the implant will be inserted over the front of the jawbone and the incision will be closed.
