Facial implants are solid shaped implants placed over the bones of the chin, cheeks or jaw to add lasting projection and change the contour of the face.

Fillers add temporary volume without surgery, fat transfer uses your own fat for soft volume and bone operations such as sliding genioplasty reshape the chin itself.

Implants give lasting projection, although they can be taken out.

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons lists infection, implant movement, nerve injury, firmness, uneven contours and revision surgery among the risks, with infection the main reason for removal.

Swelling settles over several weeks, and soft foods are advised after incisions inside the mouth.

Fit-to-fly window: allow about a week so the surgeon can check swelling and the incisions before travel, as antibiotics may continue meanwhile.

A Delhi estimate for facial implants is usually built from these parts:

• Pre-operative tests: blood tests, ECG and anaesthetic review.
