Facial Implants – Cape Cod, Needham, Wareham

Facial implants in Cape Cod include primarily synthetic implants into the chin and/or cheeks. In addition to use in reconstructive surgery, facial implants can help individuals with self-image issues. Sometimes, facial implants are combined with other cosmetic surgery. During the consultation with board certified Cape Cod plastic surgeon Dr. Rheingold, each patient will discuss his or her goals and develop a plan to achieve them.

Dr. Rheingold often uses synthetic materials such as silicone or proplast to enhance underdeveloped areas on your face, such as the cheek bones or chin. Patients can opt for one or both of these operations, and they can be performed at the same time, saving you money and recovery time.

For cheek augmentation in Cape Cod, Dr. Rheingold first discusses with each patient the desired shape of the cheeks. In surgery, he makes a small skin incision and places the synthetic material over the zygoma bone of the cheek. This creates a slightly more prominent or defined cheek bone.

Similarly, for chin enlargement in Cape Cod, Dr. Rheingold first reaches an understanding with each patient regarding the goals for the new chin. In surgery, he places a small implant in the chin or jaw region to give more projection or prominence.

All the synthetic implants used by board certified Cape Cod plastic surgeon Dr. Rheingold are well tolerated by the body and remain in place indefinitely.
