MACS Implant Contouring Surgery

Facial Contour Implant Surgery

Implant contouring surgery uses customized implants tailored to the patient's face to improve sunken under-eyes,
deep nasolabial folds, or a receding chin.
By inserting small implants, the effects are semi-permanent and the procedure is relatively simple.
It allows for a quick return to daily life while naturally restoring volume for a three-dimensional facial line.

At MACS, we use various highly biocompatible materials, including 1:1 customized PCL and Titanium implants,
as well as pre-made options like Medpor.

MACS Implant Contouring SPECIAL POINTS

Highly Biocompatible Materials
We use highly biocompatible materials such as PCL + β-TCP or Titanium to manufacture implants, reducing concerns about side effects like inflammation after insertion.

3D AI Facial Analysis Diagnosis
Using self-developed 3D AI facial analysis technology utilized by our oral and maxillofacial surgeons, we establish optimal surgical plans considering units as small as 0.1mm.

1:1 Customized Implant Production
Based on accurate analysis of facial bones and structure, we create customized implants according to individual face shapes and soft tissues to complete a natural volume.

Semi-permanent Volume Retention
Unlike temporary fillers or fat grafts, implant contouring maintains volume semi-permanently, and the implants can be removed if desired later on.

MACS Facial Implant Surgery Q&A

Q.
Can chin shape be improved through implant contouring?

Generally, improving the chin shape involves osteotomy (cutting and rearranging the bone).
However, if you feel burdened by direct bone surgery or desire a faster recovery, inserting a customized implant can improve the chin shape and line through a relatively simple method.

Q.
Is it possible to remove the implant a few years after surgery?

Yes, it is possible. A key advantage of implant insertion is that while the procedure is simple, the implant can be removed if you are dissatisfied with the shape or if a revision is needed. However, as strong adhesion with surrounding tissues may occur over a long period, we recommend consulting with a medical team experienced in implant removal.
