Facial Implants
Facial Implants in Metro Atlanta, GA
Facial implants are a powerful solution for individuals seeking to enhance or restore facial contours, achieving a balanced, defined appearance. These implants can accentuate features such as the chin, cheeks, or jawline, creating symmetry and a more youthful, sculpted profile.

Our surgeons use high-quality, biocompatible implants to help patients achieve a more balanced, harmonious facial profile. Contact us to schedule a consultation.
Cheek Implants
Cheek implants, also known as malar augmentation, are used to increase the projection of the cheekbones and add volume to flat or recessed areas. Many patients choose this procedure to counteract the thinning of facial tissues that occurs with age or to provide a more “chiseled” look to the midface. During the procedure, the surgeon typically makes small incisions inside the mouth or through the lower eyelid to place the implant directly onto the cheekbone. This approach ensures that there are no visible external scars.

Jaw Implants
Jaw implants are designed to increase the width of the lower third of the face. Much like chin implants, they help define the mandibular angle, creating a more distinct separation between the face and the neck. This is an excellent option for individuals who have a narrow or sloping jawline and wish to achieve a more “square” or masculine appearance. The surgery involves placing the implants through incisions inside the mouth, where they are secured to the jawbone. This structural enhancement can significantly improve facial symmetry and provide a more robust foundation for the soft tissues of the lower face.
FAQs
When Should I See a Facial Trauma Surgeon?
Facial implants are typically made from various biocompatible materials, with solid silicone being the most used material. Other options also include porous polyethylene (Medpor), or Gore-Tex. These materials are designed to be safe for long-term placement within the human body and are resistant to displacement once the healing process is complete.
Are Facial Implants Permanent?
Yes, facial implants are considered permanent. Unlike injectable fillers that the body absorbs over time, surgical implants are designed to last a lifetime. However, they can be surgically removed or replaced if a patient desires a change in their appearance later.
What Does a Chin Implant Look Like?
A chin implant is a small, flexible device that looks somewhat like a sports mouthguard or a crescent moon. It is contoured to fit snugly against the natural curve of the jawbone and they are available in multiple sizes for a more patient specific treatment plan. Once it is placed under the tissue, it is indistinguishable from the bone, providing a natural-looking extension of the chin.
How Do Chin Implants Work?
Chin implants work by adding physical volume to the front of the mandible. By increasing the projection of the chin, the implant tightens the skin around the jawline and changes the relationship between the chin, lips, and nose, leading to a more balanced facial profile.
How Much Is a Chin Implant?
The cost of a chin implant varies based on the surgeon’s experience, the type of material used, and the geographic location of the practice. Generally, patients can expect to pay for the surgeon’s fee, anesthesia, and facility costs. We recommend scheduling a consultation at our office for a personalized quote.
How Much Are Cheek Implants?
Similar to other facial surgeries, the price of cheek implants depends on the complexity of the case and whether the procedure is being combined with other facial enhancements. On average, the investment reflects the permanent nature of the results compared to temporary cosmetic treatments.
How Much Does a Jaw Implant Cost?
Jaw implants tend to be slightly more expensive than chin implants because the procedure often involves two implants (one for each side) and a more detailed surgical approach. Total costs will include the implants themselves, and the comprehensive care provided by the surgical team.
