Facial contouring

Facial silicone implants

VIEW's facial implant surgery uses custom-made silicone to add volume to the forehead, midface, nasolabial folds or chin tip, with incisions hidden from view. The procedure takes roughly 30 minutes to 1 hour under general anaesthesia.

Who it suits

A flat forehead that is out of proportion with the nose
Sunken or sagging-looking midface or nasolabial folds
A short chin needing extra volume without bone-cutting surgery

Technique highlights

Silicone implants are custom fabricated to match each patient's facial proportions
The forehead incision is hidden in the hairline; chin and cheek incisions are inside the mouth and under 1 cm long
Dissolvable screws are used to fix the implant and reduce the risk of shifting

Surgical steps

A mould and analysis determine the target area — forehead, cheek or chin
A custom silicone implant is fabricated to match forehead width and facial proportion
The implant is inserted through a small hairline or intraoral incision and secured with dissolvable screws

Recovery & aftercare

No hospital stay required; sutures are either unnecessary or removed within about 1 week depending on the site
Initial swelling lasts roughly 1-7 days
Dental treatment can resume about 1 month after surgery if there is no difficulty opening the mouth
Eat liquid or soft food at first if the incision was made inside the mouth

Risks & things to consider

A possible side effect is implant displacement if not fixed securely, which is why dissolvable screws are used
Results depend on the implant position and size chosen for each individual face
Bleeding or inflammation can occur, as with other facial surgery

Frequently asked questions

When can I start dental treatment after chin implant surgery?

If you can open your mouth comfortably and the intraoral wound has healed, dental treatment can usually begin around 1 month after surgery.

Can the implant shift or move out of place?

The most common side effect is displacement if the implant isn't fixed well; VIEW uses dissolvable screws to hold it securely in place.

Will the surgical scar be visible?

The forehead incision is hidden along the hairline, while chin and cheek incisions are inside the mouth and under 1 cm long, so they are barely visible from outside.
