What is Face Implant Surgery?
Face implant surgery is a face contouring solution involving the insertion of a medical-grade implant to improve facial lines. Other facial contouring surgeries primarily involve bone removal or repositioning, but such procedures can be burdensome for patients. Face implant surgery serves as a complementary approach, addressing areas where adjustments to the length, shape, and position of the face are needed, taking into account an individual’s unique facial structure. Since every patient has a distinct facial skeleton and condition, customized implants can be created to naturally match the facial contour. The goal is to create harmonious lines and increase the volume of the facial bones.

How is Face Implant Surgery Done at ThePLUS?
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.
The production time for 3D implants is approximately 2 weeks. To ensure timely treatment, please send your CT scan images before your visit, we can prepare the implants in advance.
3D Chin Implants and Standard Chin Implants:
What’s The Difference?
|
Standard Implants |
3D Implants | |
|---|---|---|
|
Material and manufacturing |
Mass-produced using pre-fabricated materials such as silicone or porous polyethylene (Medpor). |
Computer-designed based on patient’s CT scan and produced with 3d printer in titanium, PEEK (high-grade plastic) or medical-grade silicone. |
|
Preparation |
Selected from ready-prepared implants based on the most suitable size/shape available. |
Designed and customized especially for the patient. Production takes up to 2 weeks. |
|
Fitting to face |
Only generic sizes and shapes available. Trimming must be performed manually. |
Made to perfectly fit patient’s bone structure. Can address asymmetry and desired contours. |
|
Surgical difficulty and duration |
Preparation is simple, but surgery may be longer if trimming or repositioning is needed. |
As the implant is pre-fitted, little adjustment is needed in surgery, meaning surgery is shorter. |
|
Possible side effects |
Silicone implants bear risk of shifting, deformation or capsule formation. Medpor integrates well, but is difficult to remove in the case of infection. |
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. |
|
Longevity and durability |
Both silicone and Medpor last for many years and are safe for long-term use. |
Titanium and PEEK are very strong, durable and resistant to discoloration or deformation, and silicone is safe for long-term use. |
