Implants are inserted
behind facial muscles to build up
cheekbones or receding chin or reshape
jaw line.
Recovery: Most swelling gone in two to
four weeks; guard against bumping for
six weeks or more. Swelling, bruising,
numbness, stiffness, inability to fully
open mouth may last several weeks.
Comment: In the newest techniques,
implants are inserted through the mouth
to avoid external scarring.
Risks: Infection; shifting or imprecise
positioning of implant, requiring
removal or second operation. Hardening
of scar tissue around implant could
cause unnatural appearance.
Permanence: For life.
