Custom Facial Implants for Balanced Facial Aesthetics | Dr. Jonathan Zelken, MD

Are you looking to achieve a more defined jawline, balanced facial symmetry, or correct congenital asymmetries? Dr. Jonathan Zelken and his team offer advanced facial augmentation options through custom facial implants. Whether you’re interested in enhancing the jaw angle, chin, cheekbones, or other facial areas, we offer solutions tailored to your unique anatomy and goals. With a strong focus on personalized results and cutting-edge technology, Dr. Zelken’s practice has become a leader in facial augmentation using both custom PEEK (polyether ether ketone) and silicone implants.

Unlike traditional off-the-shelf implants, custom facial implants are designed to fit the unique contours of your facial skeleton precisely. Using a CT scan of your face, Dr. Zelken works closely with engineers to create a 3D model of your ideal facial structure. This precise planning process allows us to design implants that perfectly align with your facial anatomy and meet your aesthetic goals.

Custom facial implants are ideal for:

• Enhancing Jawline Definition: Achieve a strong, well-defined jaw angle that harmonizes with the rest of your facial features.
• Correcting Facial Asymmetries: Tailored implants can address natural asymmetries in the jaw, chin, and cheekbones.
• Facial Augmentation after Orthognathic Surgery: Many patients seek custom implants to restore facial harmony after previous jaw surgeries.

Your journey begins with a personalized consultation with Dr. Zelken. We’ll discuss your goals and evaluate your facial structure to determine the best course of action. Next, we take a CT scan of your face to create a 3D model of your facial skeleton.

Dr. Zelken collaborates with expert engineers to design a custom implant that enhances and balances your facial features. The implants are meticulously planned to address your specific needs, whether that involves jaw lengthening, chin enhancement, or cheek augmentation. With custom implants, we can achieve results that feel and look incredibly natural.

Once your implant design is finalized, it’s sent to a state-of-the-art facility where it is carefully fabricated. We typically use PEEK or silicone, materials chosen for their compatibility with your facial bones and their ability to be securely anchored. Within a few weeks, your custom implant is ready for placement.

While custom implants offer unparalleled precision, off-the-shelf implants are a practical and effective solution for many. Dr. Zelken offers an array of prefabricated silicone implants, including chin, jaw angle, and cheek implants. For patients who need a quick turnaround or prefer a more affordable option, these implants are readily available and come in various shapes and sizes.

If you’re seeking a bold and defined jawline, our jaw angle implants offer lengthening, widening, and forward projection. Dr. Zelken recommends custom implants for patients who need to correct for specific asymmetries or who desire a more substantial change than traditional implants can offer.

A strong chin complements other facial features and adds balance. Our silicone chin implants are crafted to fit perfectly and are easily secured with a small incision. We offer both custom and off-the-shelf options to suit your desired level of enhancement.

Ideal for patients who want to improve the contours of their mid-face, our cheek implants create a youthful, lifted appearance. We offer both the Mylar Contoured and Orbital Rim designs, providing options for targeted enhancements around the eyes and upper face.

The custom implant design process takes approximately 2-3 weeks from start to finish. Once the design is finalized, your implant will be fabricated and ready for surgical placement.

We use PEEK and silicone for custom implants, as both materials offer exceptional durability, biocompatibility, and a natural feel.

Custom implants are recommended for individuals with unique anatomical challenges, congenital differences, or those seeking a high level of precision. Off-the-shelf implants are also available for minor adjustments and general facial enhancement.
