Facial Implants

Facial implants enhance the structure and balance of your features, giving you a more defined and harmonious look.

Elevate Your Facial Contours With Facial Implants

At pēkomd®, we take pride in offering personalized aesthetic solutions that go beyond superficial improvements. Our board-certified team provides advanced surgical and non-surgical treatments across Columbus, Dayton, and Toledo, ensuring consistent, high-quality care under one trusted brand. Facial implants are an option for those who want to refine and accentuate certain features—such as the cheeks, chin, or jawline—to achieve greater balance and definition. By using safe, well-tolerated implant materials, we can help you address specific concerns that might not respond well to other treatments. The result is a look that feels natural and reflects your individuality. We invite you to schedule a one-on-one consultation with pēkomd. Together, we'll explore how facial implants can enhance your features and boost your overall confidence.

What Are Facial Implants?

Facial implants are biocompatible devices designed to improve or restore definition in targeted areas of the face, including the cheeks, chin, and jaw. Made from materials such as silicone or porous polyethylene, these implants integrate well with existing bone and tissue when placed properly. The goal is to create a balanced, proportionate appearance that enhances your natural features without looking overdone.

At pēkomd®, our approach to facial implants is entirely patient-centric. During your initial evaluation, we'll discuss your specific goals—whether it's creating a stronger jawline, adding volume to flat or recessed cheeks, or refining the chin's projection. By combining surgical precision with a keen understanding of aesthetics, our board-certified providers tailor each implant choice to your unique facial structure, helping you achieve harmonious, long-lasting results.

Reasons for Getting Facial Implants

Facial implants aren't solely for dramatic makeovers—they're often a great option for individuals who need a subtle yet meaningful adjustment to bring out their best features. Some people seek out implants to correct congenital asymmetry, while others are motivated by changes related to aging or weight loss. Here are a few common reasons patients consider facial implants:

Enhancing Facial Symmetry: A recessed chin or uneven cheeks can throw off the natural balance of your face. Implants provide the structure needed to achieve a more symmetrical appearance.
Addressing Age-Related Volume Loss: Over time, cheeks may lose fullness, leading to a fatigued or gaunt look. Implants restore volume and definition.
Strengthening the Jawline: If you've always felt your jawline was too soft or undefined, implants can create a more sculpted profile.
Correcting Trauma or Congenital Issues: For individuals who've experienced facial injuries or were born with certain asymmetries, implants can offer a long-term solution that restores both function and aesthetics.

Every patient's motivation is unique, and at pēkomd®, we aim to respect and address each concern thoughtfully. Our team will work with you to find the right balance of techniques—possibly combining implants with other procedures like liposuction under the chin, facelift surgery, or skin tightening treatments—to help you reach your desired outcome.

Benefits of Facial Implants

Facial implants offer advantages that can significantly impact your appearance and self-assurance, including:

Long-lasting enhancements
Improved facial symmetry
More defined cheeks, chin, or jawline
Restoration of youthful contours
Boost in overall facial harmony
Confidence in your refined features
Complementary to other surgical or non-surgical treatments
Durable materials designed for biocompatibility

Dr. Markov is one of the best microsurgeons in Southwest Ohio

I have had surgery is some of the top hospitals in Ohio and beyond. Dr. Markov is one of the best microsurgeons in Southwest Ohio, and the surrounding areas.His education, military background, and work experience speaks for itself. I have found him to be professional, highly-skilled, and he has excellent bedside manner. Dr. Markov treated me with respect, educated me about my options, and empowered me to decide what breast reconstruction option best for me. He approached my reconstruction surgery like Michelangelo to a painting. He was detailed oriented and cared about my final outcomes. I couldn't be happier with his performance. I highly recommend Dr. Markov for any cancer related or cosmetics surgery.

Mr. Dr. Fourman has been the best doctor hands down

Mr. Dr. Fourman has been the best doctor hands down so far that I have ever experienced in my life so far and I only have had my first office visit. He is so polite, listens and exsplained in full detail. He made me feel heard and he actually listened to me as his patient and did not belittle or make me feel like i was uneducated or wrong for my reasons to be vivisting his office. Thank you to Dr. Fourman and his wonderful staff members!

Dr. Straka is very personable, professional, and earned my trust right away!

My daughter first had some work done a few years ago with Dr. Straka. Of course she was/is a beautiful girl in every way, but this definitely enhanced things for her. I inherited the worst bags you could ever imagine. Getting older I thought let me do something for me! I scheduled a consult and I am truly sad that I had not gone sooner.

Dr. Straka is very personable, professional, and earned my trust right away! I am only 10 days post op and I love my new look already! Cristina has been very attentive from day one. I am still being checked on today. Dr. Straka is doing great things at pekomd! I highly recommend him to anyone!!!!!!! He gets a 100 stars

Make you feel like your best self.

Every experience I’ve had at pēkomd® has been amazing. The staff and providers truly take the time to make you feel like your best self. Dr. Koltz takes the time to get to know his patients and listens to their needs, concerns and dreams. I would absolutely recommend giving them a call and taking the steps to feeling the best version of yourself!

I would say Dr. Markov is a bit of a perfectionist.

After learning I had breast cancer a second time in 2023 I opted to have a bilateral mastectomy with a DIEP flap reconstruction. I looked into 3 different doctors and while I am sure they are all very capable, I chose Dr. Markov. He was straight forward and to the point and he was local. I really liked his approach and he made me feel very comfortable. Today I had my 4 week post op appointment from the final phase of the reconstruction and I am thrilled with the results. I feel and look like myself again. Honestly they look better than they did before my mastectomy. I would say Dr. Markov is a bit of a perfectionist. The only thing left, if I opt to do this, is the tattooing. I am not sure if I am going to do that just yet, because they already look so good. Anyhow, I would 100 % recommend Dr. Markov.

Wish I had done this 10 years sooner.

Don't put it off any longer!
If you have thought about weight-loss surgery, Dr. Fourman is the Dr. you need to see! He's very personable, understands and is caring.I followed all the pre op instructions, did out patient, in the morning, and was up and moving around very well by that evening. He's staff is wonderful too. There are no scary front desk reception. Everyone there knows what your going through. Wish I had done this 10 years sooner. Like I said...Don't put it off for another year!

I couldn't be more pleased with my experience with Dr. Straka

I couldn't be more pleased with my experience with Dr. Straka and Kaleigh! Dr. Straka took the time to thoroughly explain my condition, answer all my questions, and walk me through the entire procedure. The follow-up care has been excellent as well, and I am so happy with my results. I highly recommend!!

What to Expect During Your Facial Implant Procedure at pēkomd

Your journey begins with a detailed consultation at one of our accredited facilities in Columbus, Dayton, or Toledo. Our board-certified providers will listen closely to your goals, assess your facial structure, and discuss what implants—or combination of implants—may work best for you. If necessary, we'll use imaging or models to help you visualize potential outcomes and set clear, realistic expectations. On the day of surgery, you'll arrive at our facility, where our team will ensure you're comfortable before administering anesthesia. Depending on the implant location and complexity of the procedure, this could involve local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia.

Your surgeon will then make discreet incisions—often inside the mouth or in natural skin creases—to place and secure the implants. This careful technique helps minimize visible scarring while ensuring the implants blend naturally with your existing bone structure. Once the implants are properly positioned, the incisions will be closed, and you'll move to a monitored recovery area. Our staff will provide you with personalized aftercare instructions and address any immediate questions before you head home. Because each procedure is highly individualized, we'll guide you through every step of your post-surgical experience to help you recover smoothly and optimize your final results.

Recovering After Your Facial Implant Procedure

Recovery varies depending on the type and number of implants placed, as well as your individual healing response. You may experience mild to moderate swelling, bruising, or soreness in the treated areas, which typically subsides over the first couple of weeks.

Over-the-counter or prescribed pain medications can help alleviate any discomfort, and cold compresses may be recommended to reduce swelling. It's important to follow your surgeon's guidelines on activities to avoid in the immediate post-operative period, such as strenuous exercise or heavy lifting.

Most patients can return to daily routines within one to two weeks, but it may take several weeks for the swelling to fully resolve. As you heal, you'll notice your new facial contours become more defined. Our team remains accessible throughout your recovery, ensuring that you feel confident and supported as your results take shape.

Are You an Ideal Candidate for Facial Implants?

Facial implants can be beneficial for a wide range of patients. Generally, ideal candidates meet the following criteria:

Are in good overall health
Have specific concerns about facial definition or symmetry
Possess realistic expectations regarding outcomes
Understand the surgical nature and recovery involved
Seek a more permanent solution than temporary fillers

Whether you're dealing with a jawline that lacks definition, cheeks that have lost volume, or a chin that's too recessed for your liking, facial implants may offer the transformative results you need. During your consultation at pēkomd®, our experts will carefully assess your goals, lifestyle, and medical history to confirm if implants align with your best interests. If another approach—such as facial fat transfer or injectables—would be more appropriate, we'll guide you through those alternatives as well.

Facial Implants Frequently Asked Questions

Ready to discover how facial implants can refine your look and add greater definition to your features? We invite you to connect with the dedicated team at pēkomd®. From your first consultation to your final follow-up, we'll guide you toward results that enhance your natural beauty and amplify your self-confidence.

How long do facial implants last?

Facial implants are designed to be long-lasting and, in many cases, permanent. Under normal circumstances, they don't require replacement unless complications arise or cosmetic preferences change over time.

Will the implants look natural?

Our skilled surgeons carefully choose implant sizes and shapes that complement your facial features. When placed correctly, facial implants blend seamlessly with your natural bone structure, creating balanced, realistic results.

Are there non-surgical alternatives to facial implants?

Dermal fillers and fat transfer can provide temporary or semi-permanent volume enhancements, but they won't match the durability and structural support of implants. We'll discuss all options during your consultation so you can make an informed choice.

What is the main difference between chin and jaw implants?

Chin implants specifically enhance the projection of the chin, while jaw implants add width and definition along the jawline. Depending on your goals, some patients opt for a combination of both.

Can I combine facial implants with other procedures?

Absolutely. Many patients combine implants with procedures like rhinoplasty, facelifts, or liposuction to achieve a more comprehensive transformation. We'll determine the best approach for your needs during your initial assessment.
