Facial Implants in Vancouver, BC

As we age or even through genetics, certain facial features may lack definition or appear out of balance. Facial implants restore harmony and structure to the face by adding volume and projection exactly where it’s needed without the maintenance of dermal fillers or fat grafting. Implants are made from safe, biocompatible materials designed to look and feel like your natural bone structure.

The First Step
Procedure at a Glance
The Recovery

01. The First Step

Facial implants add permanent, structural definition where bone structure is naturally recessive, most commonly the chin, jawline, or cheeks. Unlike fillers, which add soft volume temporarily, implants augment the skeletal foundation of the face, creating changes in projection and proportion that are stable for life.

Dr. Denton evaluates your facial proportions as a whole: how the chin relates to the nose, how the cheeks frame the midface, how the jawline defines the lower face. He'll discuss implant materials, shapes, and sizes, and may recommend imaging or combined procedures where they would improve overall harmony. The goal is balance, an implant should never announce itself.

02. Procedure at a Glance

Implant surgery is performed under anaesthesia, with incisions placed inconspicuously, inside the mouth or beneath the chin, depending on the implant site. Dr. Denton creates a precise pocket against the bone and positions the implant securely so it integrates naturally with your anatomy.

Procedure length depends on the implant site and whether other procedures are performed concurrently. Most patients return home the same day.

03. The Recovery

Swelling is expected and can initially exaggerate the change, the true result reveals itself as healing progresses over the following weeks. Discomfort is generally manageable and short-lived, and most patients resume light routines within a week or two, depending on the implant site.

You'll receive specific guidance on diet, oral care (for intraoral incisions), and activity. Dr. Denton follows your result closely as the implant settles into its final, permanent position.
