What Are 3D Facial Implants?
3D facial implants are a popular solution for enhancing a person’s facial bone structure without the need for incredibly invasive bone contouring procedures. Facial implants address areas where adjustments to the length, shape and position of the face are needed, and our 3D implants here at THE PLUS take into account each individual patient’s unique facial structure before creation and application.
Compared to standard pre-shaped silicone implants, a customized 3D implant allows for more precise adjustments in both shape and dimensions, providing a more tailored and balanced result. Every patient has a distinct facial skeleton and condition, and 3D implants are customized especially for you, your needs, and your goals.

3D Implants Vs. Standard Implants
What’s the difference between 3D facial implants and standard facial implants? Why choose 3D implants over standard facial implants? Compare both types of facial implant below.
|
3D Facial Implants |
Standard Facial Implants |
|
|
Material and manufacturing |
Computer-designed based on patient’s CT scan and produced with 3d printer in medical-grade silicone. |
Mass-produced using pre-fabricated materials such as silicone or porous polyethylene (Medpor). |
|
Preparation |
Designed and customized especially for the patient. Production takes up to 2 weeks. |
Selected from ready-prepared implants based on the most suitable size/shape available. |
|
Fitting to face |
Made to perfectly fit patient’s bone structure. Can address asymmetry and desired contours. |
Only generic sizes and shapes available. Trimming must be performed manually. |
|
Surgical difficulty and duration |
As the implant is pre-fitted, little adjustment is needed in surgery, meaning surgery is shorter. |
Preparation is simple, but surgery may be longer if trimming or repositioning is needed. |
|
Possible side effects |
Made to fit exactly onto bone, so initial stability is higher and risk of shifting is lower. Safety depends on the material used, but generally equal or superior to standard implants. |
Silicone implants bear risk of shifting, deformation or capsule formation. Medpor integrates well, but is difficult to remove in the case of infection. |
|
Longevity and durability |
Medical-grade silicone is safe for long-term use. |
Both silicone and Medpor last for many years and are safe for long-term use. |
How is 3D Facial Implant Surgery Done at THE PLUS?
To ensure the best fit for each individual’s allergies or skin condition, a custom-made implant is prepared in advance based on a thorough consultation and examination. This personalized implant is then inserted during surgery. The key aspect is to design the placement of the implant in accordance with facial proportions, aiming for a natural effect that minimizes any visible signs of surgery. Our primary focus is on achieving a more natural increase in facial volume. Therefore, we avoid using excessively voluminous implants, seeking a more balanced and proportionate outcome.

Treatment Timeline for 3D Facial Implants
Due to the personalized nature of 3D facial implants, the treatment timeline is somewhat longer than that of the standard implants procedure, and requires the patient’s input and patience throughout the designing and manufacturing process. While the process may vary slightly from patient to patient, the following timeline is a guideline to what to expect if you get 3D facial implants here at THE PLUS.
Before your trip: Video consultation and CT scan
At least 30 days before your intended surgery date, you should submit your CT scan to the clinic. Once you have submitted your CT scan, you will have a video consultation with the doctor in order to discuss your goals and desired outcome. The doctor will design your implant, and manufacturing will begin 14 days before your surgery date.
Day 1: In-person Consultation and Medical Exam
Day 3: Surgery day
Day 4: Checkup and aftercare treatment
Day 5: Checkup and wound redressing
Day 10: Checkup and disinfection
Day 13 – 15: Final checkup, disinfection, and stitch removal (depending on your travel needs, stitch removal may be performed slightly earlier, or in your home country)
We recognize that people’s travel schedules and availabilities may vary. The above treatment timeline is an example of the ideal schedule with the least possible required time in-country. For patients with more time in Korea, the entire consultation and CT scan process can be done in person here at The Plus at no extra cost.
3D Facial Implant Locations
3D facial implants can be applied to various parts of the face to address a variety of concerns. The face implant locations available here at THE PLUS are:
Please note: Other facial locations may be possible depending on each individual case, and may be discussed with the doctor during a consultation.
