Facial implants.
By offering safe, long-term correction of volume depletion and contour defects, facial implants maintain a unique position in the armamentarium of the cosmetic surgeon. Careful patient assessment and selection of the appropriate implant type, size, and shape maximize results. Proper postoperative follow-up helps to treat any complications before they become a serious problem. Most patients have volume loss as part of their facial aging. Facial implants play an important role in panfacial rejuvenation.
