Facial Implant Augmentation: Restoring Facial Structure
Facial implant augmentation restores the structure and projection the facial framework lacks — not by adding volume, but by supporting it from within. At Ultimo Clinic, chin, cheek, and paranasal implants balance the profile, define contour, and soften deep nasolabial folds at their source. Performed by dr. Enrina Diah and dr. Grace Boaz.
Three Axes of Facial Rejuvenation
The face ages along three distinct processes — and each calls for a different solution. Identifying the dominant axis is the first step to a natural result.
Treated by lifting, such as a Deep Plane Facelift.
Treated by fat transfer — adding soft-tissue volume.
Treated by implants — supporting the facial framework. The focus of this page.
Three Areas, One Principle
A silicone implant is placed over the bone through an incision inside the mouth — adding projection to under-defined areas, with no scar on the skin.
A chin implant adds projection and defines the jawline and profile.
A cheek implant restores cheekbone projection and midface structure.
A paranasal implant supports the area beside the nose to soften deep nasolabial folds.
An implant (alloplastic) adds stable, long-lasting structural projection, and can be removed if needed. For soft-tissue volume, the alternative is facial fat transfer (your own fat). The two are often complementary — assessed at consultation.
What to Expect
Frequently Asked Questions
Are facial implants better than filler or fat transfer?
An implant adds stable, long-lasting structural projection to the facial framework, whereas filler is temporary and fat transfer adds soft-tissue volume. When the issue is a lack of bone projection, an implant addresses the cause directly.
Are facial implants safe and removable?
Modern facial implants are made from long-established surgical materials and are placed over the bone. One advantage is that they can be removed or adjusted if needed.
Will there be visible scars?
Chin, cheek, and paranasal implants are generally placed through incisions inside the mouth, so they leave no scars on the facial skin.
