The average cost for a facial implant surgery includes anesthesia fees, facility and clinic fees, and the surgeon's fees. The total fees for implants can range from $2,000 all the way up to $5,000 or more for two or more implants.
If the procedure is a medical necessity your insurance may cover the cost. Always make sure to ask your plastic surgeon about filing the costs with your insurance company and also ask about monthly payment options.
The technique of adding facial implants is not too hard to understand or comprehend. The surgeon will make a small incision near where the implant will be put in. The incision is usually made in a crease or inside the mouth to hide scarring from the incision. A pocket is then made in the facial tissue where the implant is then inserted and the incision is then stitched up.
Once the incision is bandaged or taped up, the stitches are usually removed within 5-10 days of the surgery. Often times these implants are done at the same time a face lift surgery procedure is being performed.
Implants come in different sizes and shapes, just like breast implants. These different sizes help to achieve different results. For example, when doing a chin implant a wider chin implant will give the face a more angular look to the whole face.
The recovery time for a surgery like this differs from patient to patient, but is not bad at all. Most people are back at work and doing their normal activities within a week. The surgery is usually an outpatient procedure and is done quickly. Results are also very permanent and add a lot of contouring to the face to make it look very pleasing looking.
