Facial Enhancement with Implants in Sydney
Men and women who would like to enhance the contours of their face may be interested in the facial implants available at our plastic surgery practice in Sydney. Facial implants are often used to give the chin a more well-defined appearance or make the cheekbones more prominent. Our experienced plastic surgeon, Dr. Darrell Perkins, also uses them to balance other features of the face, such as the nose. Dr. Perkins often incorporates facial implants into procedures such as rhinoplasty or facelift surgery to achieve greater facial harmony or to rejuvenate the features of the face.
Before Surgery with Facial Implants
Dr. Perkins conducts a comprehensive consultation with each individual who is interested in facial implants at our Sydney-based cosmetic surgery practice. During the consultation, the patient is encouraged to discuss his or her aesthetic concerns openly, so that Dr. Perkins may develop an individualised treatment plan. Dr. Perkins then examines the patient's facial skin and bone structure to determine whether facial implants are suitable for him or her.
Placing Facial Implants
When performing a facelift, a brow lift, or eyelid surgery, Dr. Perkins can often insert facial implants through the incisions that are already required for these procedures. Cheek implants are typically inserted through an incision made inside the lower eyelid or upper lip or beneath the chin. The incision used to place a jaw implant is also made inside the mouth. This ensures that any scars are hidden in a discrete location.
After Surgery with Facial Implants
After receiving facial implants, patients may experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort. Since the ability to move one's mouth or speak may be compromised temporarily, it may be necessary for patients to avoid eating certain foods and participating in activities that require speaking.
