Facial implants are a certified way
to help you boost your confidence and to improve your features.
Keep in mind that facial implants are designed to enhance,
not to provide perfection. Therefore, if your outlook is realistic
and you are searching for an augment in your appearance, this
type of surgery is the one for you.
These implants are used for all types
of enhancements. To create a better balance in your facial
contours, surgeons will usually reshape your nose or bring
your chin forward to achieve this and to create better proportions.
At same time, these implants can be used in conjunction with
other procedures, as is usually the case with more mature
patients. For instance, implants can be placed on the cheekbones
to give a more youthful appearance during a facelift.
Whatever your need is, we will try
to help you achieve it in the best possible way, using top
of the line technology.
Before any type of procedure is performed,
patients at BetterLooks are required to have a detailed discussion
with their plastic surgeon.
By doing so, both parties have the opportunity to contribute
in the whole process and to increase the client’s level
of satisfaction. The patient must discuss his/her expectations
openly with their doctor, who will help determine what isn’t
or what is possible to accomplish. All the different aspects
of the surgery you are willing to undertake (the cost and
recovery process) must be extremely clear to you.
Make sure to ask your doctor concerning
the diverse details that the surgery entails. For example,
you should know if you should stop taking certain medications
or if you will need to refrain from drinking or eating for
a certain time period before your surgery. It may be possible
that you will need to take oral antibiotics before and after
the whole operation, since this will help prevent any type
of infections.

Regardless
of the area where the facial surgery
will be performed, the procedure is always the same. A small
incision will be made near the sector where the implant will
be located; it can either be inside the mouth at the lip/gum
junction or in a natural crease in the face. This will create
a pocket in the facial tissue where the implant will be inserted.
Once it is in place, the surgeon proceeds to stitch the incision
and to bandage it. The whole process normally takes from 1
to 2 hours and a general anesthesia is used, although there
may be cases in which a local anesthesia is utilized. The
stitches are removed around 5 to 10 days later. If they are
placed inside your mouth, they dissolve naturally during this
previous time period.
Every person’s reaction to
surgery varies in a case to case basis, therefore, it is highly
recommended for you to discuss the post-surgery treatment
with your doctor before you submit to the procedure. Most
patients recover quickly and can return to normal activities
the day after the operation.
After the surgical treatment, the
area where the surgery was performed will be dressed in protective
bandages. In the days to come, you can expect a certain amount
of swelling and bruising, although you will be given medication
to reduce this type of soreness. After five to six days, the
swelling disappears, even though the bruising will take longer
to withdraw. During this whole time, you can expect difficulties
to eat or to speak.
With
this type of operation, you may look and feel better in a
short period of time. Nonetheless, you must be extra careful
with the activities you participate in while you are recuperating.
Please refrain from taking part in any behavior which may
result in your face getting jarred or bumped for several weeks.
Your plastic surgeon will
give you further details concerning the do’s and don’ts
during your recovery.
During
this type of surgery, complications are unusual, but they
sometimes do happen. These can include certain types of infection
or adverse reactions to the anesthesia applied during the
procedure.
Infections are generally treated
with antibiotics, even though, in some cases, the implant
must be removed and replaced. Another procedure may need to
be performed, since from time to time, implants can shift
slightly. However, keep in mind that these cases are very
rare and the certified surgeons at BetterLooks always give
their full efforts to prevent such difficulties from occurring.
Implants are mostly manufactured
from a solid silicone material. At present, no scientific
evidence has been given that proves that this substance is
harmful to the body. If you have any concerns or question
concerning the implants, feel free to discuss them with your
BetterLooks doctor.
Make sure to let your doctor know
if you smoke or if you have any previous health issues during
your initial discussion. This will help maximize the success
of the procedure and will minimize the risks, therefore, it
is recommended that you follow your surgeons instructions
at all times.
