Facial Implants in NYC

Restore Subtle Balance to Your Face

 Facial implants can enhance the angles and contours in the face to create symmetry and accentuate natural beauty. Chin implants are most commonly used. When appropriate, Dr. M. Zakir Sabry will recommend cheek implants to provide a long-term solution for inadequate cheek projection. Jaw implants are used to widen the lower third of the face for better definition and proportion with the upper two thirds of the face.

What Happens During Facial Implant Consultation?

Facial implants are utilized for augmentation, reconstruction, or to achieve a rejuvenated appearance. They are available in a broad range of styles, sizes, and bio compatible materials for the jaw, nose, chin, and cheek regions. Implants have also been developed for use in lip augmentation. The implant Dr. Sabry utilizes will be selected based on your particular facial features, and your goals.

Your initial consultation with Dr. Sabry will take at least one hour. Consultation Dr. Sabry will discuss your goals and expectations. Then he will thoroughly examine you, explain which of your facial components are contributing to an aging appearance, and outline the best options for your unique facial structure. If you are a smoker you will be asked to quit smoking 6-8 weeks prior to your surgery. Once you decide to proceed you will meet with our Practice Manager to go over scheduling, payment options and insurance questions.

As you approach the date of your surgery you will have a comprehensive preoperative visit in our office approximately two weeks before your surgery. A complete list of “dos and don’ts” will be reviewed as well as the pre and postoperative instructions and any questions that remain will be answered. You will be directed to avoid anything that has a blood-thinning effect (aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E etc.) for two weeks before surgery. You will be asked to minimize alcohol intake. Basic blood work for preoperative testing will be ordered.

What Happens During The Facial Implant Procedure?

Facial implant surgeries are highly complex procedures. They require an in-depth knowledge of facial structure and ideal proportions. Dr. Sabry will conduct a detailed analysis of your facial features and provide you with the best options to achieve your goals. His precise technique and discerning eye guarantee that you will be thrilled with your result.
 
Chin implants: augment the size and projection of a weak or recessed chin that is not in proportion with the forehead and mid-facial region.
 
Jaw implants enlarge the width of the lower third of the face, and provide more balance with the upper regions of the face.
 
Cheek implants enhance and restore volume to cheeks that have lost contour. They can also increase the projection of the cheekbones.
 
Facial implants procedures may be performed alone, or in conjunction with other facial contouring procedures such as nose (rhinoplasty) or ear surgery (otoplasty).

Zakir Sabry brings more than nine years of intensive surgical training to your care, having completed full general surgery training, a plastic surgery residency, and a craniofacial surgery fellowship.

We often say, “less is more,” because our focus is on natural, functional improvement rather than drastic change.

Our team is small, attentive, and easy to reach, and our follow-up care is more personal than what many larger NYC practices offer.

What Can I Expect During Facial Implant Recovery?

You will be seen on the day after surgery to remove bandages and drains. You may shower upon returning home. Stitches are removed within 4 to 7 days. Temporary bruising and numbness are normal, and will improve in a few weeks. Most patients return to work within two weeks and can resume physical activity in 4 weeks. During your recovery process Dr. Sabry will see you for post-operative visits. He and our staff will answer any questions you may have about your recovery. Our care and concern extend to your overall health and well-being.

Temporary bruising and numbness are expected and may improve in a few weeks. Complications are rare but may include hematoma, temporary or permanent nerve injury, infection, and reactions to anesthesia.
