Facial implants can help restore balance to your face by improving your facial contour and correcting any facial disproportions. Facial implants are FDA-approved and are commonly used to accentuate the chin, jawline, cheeks and dorsum of the nose.
During your consultation, Dr. Michaels will perform a comprehensive evaluation of your facial anatomy and tailor a treatment plan to meets your goals. Placement of facial implants is often performed as an isolated procedure, but it can also be combined with other procedures including Kybella injections (non-invasive injectable neck fat removal), liposuction of the neck, facelift and nose reshaping.
Alternatives to facial implants include autologous fat transfer and facial fillers.
