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.
