Facial implants are specially formed solid, biocompatible materials designed to enhance or augment the physical structure of your face. The precise type and size of implants best suited for you requires an evaluation of your goals, the features you wish to correct and your surgeon’s judgment.

Chin implants can increase the size and projection of a chin that does not project in proportion with the forehead and mid-face. A small or recessed chin can also be described as one that seems to disappear into the neck of an individual of normal weight, rather than appearing as a distinct facial feature.

Jaw implants increase the width of the lower third of your face. Much like the chin, a weak jaw can be thought of as one that is not well-defined and distinct from the neck, or one that slopes rather than angles from the ear to the chin. In some cases, both the chin and jaw can contribute to facial imbalance.

Cheek implants increase the projection of the cheekbones. They add volume to areas which may be recessed or flat.

Dr. Singer is also one of the few physicians in the Tampa Bay area who offers ePTFE facial implants. When implanted under the skin in the deep lines of the face, or around the lips, ePTFE acts just like natural collagen to plump out and fill in the area for a natural, youthful appearance. Placement of ePTFE implants is performed in a minimally invasive procedure resulting in predictable outcomes with results that last for years compared to fillers that are reabsorbed within months and require repeated treatments to sustain aesthetic results. The procedure is safely performed in our office under local anesthesia in less than thirty minutes.
