What is Facial Implants?
Facial implants are surgical devices made of silicone, porous polyethylene, or PEEK material that are placed to enhance and balance facial contours, most commonly the chin, cheeks, or jawline. The procedure is performed for both cosmetic reasons (improving facial symmetry and profile) and reconstructive reasons (correcting congenital deficiencies or trauma-related bone loss). It is typically done under general or local anesthesia with sedation, with implants inserted through small, well-hidden incisions.
Who may be considered?
Facial Implants may be considered after a qualified specialist reviews your reports and medical history. Suitability varies from person to person and must be assessed by your treating doctor.
How does it work?
A silicone or porous polyethylene implant is placed over the chin bone through an incision inside the mouth or under the chin to improve facial profile and jawline definition.
Chin Implant (Alloplastic Genioplasty)

Stay in India

Usually Not Included

Recovery and follow-up
Swelling and mild bruising typically last 1-2 weeks, with most patients resuming normal activities within 10-14 days; final results are visible once swelling fully resolves over 2-3 months. Follow-up visits are scheduled to check implant position and incision healing before travel clearance is given.
Risks
Potential risks include infection, implant shifting or asymmetry, numbness, and rarely implant extrusion or the need for removal/revision. Choosing an experienced surgeon and following post-operative care instructions significantly reduces these risks.
Alternatives
Non-surgical alternatives include dermal fillers (such as hyaluronic acid or calcium hydroxylapatite) for temporary volume enhancement, or fat grafting for a more natural, longer-lasting but less structurally definitive result. These options are best suited for patients seeking subtle changes without permanent implants.
