Facial Implants Flaps
Facial implants and flaps are two powerful tools in the realm of facial cosmetic surgery, each offering unique approaches to achieve desired facial contours. Deciding which method is best for you depends on your specific goals and facial anatomy.
Facial implants are synthetic materials inserted beneath the skin or muscle to add volume and definition to specific areas of the face. Common implant materials include silicone and solid high-density polyethylene. Chin implants enhance projection, cheek implants add fullness, and malar implants (placed near the cheekbones) create a more sculpted look. Implants offer a predictable outcome and minimal scarring.
Facial flaps, on the other hand, utilize your own tissue to reshape facial structures. Skin and underlying tissue are meticulously lifted and repositioned to achieve the desired effect. This approach is ideal for correcting asymmetry, filling in deeper contours, or lifting sagging facial areas. While offering a natural-looking result, flap surgery can be more complex and may leave a slightly larger scar compared to implants.
