Are chin and cheek implants safe?
Facial implants have proven to provide a safe and predictable cosmetic surgical procedure with minimal risk. To date, millions of facial implants made from nontoxic materials such as silicone and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) have been implanted, with no reported cases of allergic reaction. The implants, designed specifically for use in the mid-facial cheek area and the chin come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. These implants can be custom trimmed by your surgeon for a more natural fit.
