What is the Procedure?

The facial implants and contouring procedure are highly individualized, depending on the patient’s needs and goals. Dr. Cohen begins with a thorough consultation, using advanced imaging techniques to plan the surgery and ensure precise results. Facial implants are typically placed through small incisions in inconspicuous areas, such as inside the mouth or behind the ear, minimizing visible scarring. Depending on the area being treated, the surgery can involve the placement of custom-shaped implants, fat grafting, or sculpting bone and soft tissue to achieve the desired contour. The entire procedure is performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, ensuring patient comfort throughout.
