As a result of congenital or subsequent accidents, elements such as facial bones, cartilages and tissues may cause disproportion, disorder or dysfunction problems in the facial
area. A facial implant is applied to the patient to solve problems such as curvature, damage or
fractures in the bones, deformation of the bones, and not having the natural appearance of the jaw or cheekbones.
How is the Operation Performed?
If it is not combined with another surgery, it can be performed under local anesthesia and sedation or general anesthesia
. Facial implants are often applied to two different areas: the chin (lower jaw, upper jaw, tip of the chin) and the cheekbone. Depending on the problem the patient is experiencing, a single implant or implants can be applied to multiple areas
. The desired shape
and volume is achieved by placing it on the bone without directly interfering with the bone structure.
Jaw Implants
Chin implants are used for accidental fractures or later jaw disproportions, chin and chin
It is a method used when the tip is small, large, behind or disproportionate to the face and nose. During the application, chin implants are placed in the mouth through a single incision made in the midline through the groove under the lower teeth. Following the operation, a dressing consisting of tapes is applied to the area where the implant is placed. Regular cold application is performed. After this surgery, when the tissues
heal, skin filling is applied to the tip of the chin to provide the necessary contouring and emphasis.
Zygomatic Implants
To eliminate congenital or acquired disproportions, the cheekbone and cheek area
Zygomatic implants are applied to proportion and naturalize the profile appearance. These implants are placed inside the mouth
through an incision made in the groove above the upper teeth. Implants that best suit the facial contours are placed through the incisions. This incision on the mucosa heals quickly and without leaving a scar. If necessary during this surgery, the implants can be supported with fat injection or appropriate degrees of facial filler can be applied after the tissues have healed.

Treatment Process
It is important to stay in the hospital for a few days after the facial implants are placed. In this way, the first period is safer and medical control is ensured. In the following period, until the stitches are removed,
should be protected, should not be forced, foods should be consumed as directed by the doctor, and attention should be paid to medication use, dressing, and renewing bandages.
