Facial Implants are used to provide a more harmonious balance to the features of the face which results in patients feeling better about the way they look. Subtle implants are placed to improve a chin profile or highlight more prominent cheek bones. A chin implant can improve the neckline and make a large nose appear smaller. The implant is often placed at the same time as these other procedures. The cheek implants are placed through tiny incisions under the lip so no incision is seen. The result is usually totally natural, simply enhancing the area where the cheekbones are supposed to be. Dr. Gartner performs the surgery in less than one hour. Average recovery is less than one week. Facial implants can produce some remarkable changes and bolster your self esteem.
