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.
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.
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.
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.

Find clear, professional answers to common questions about our procedures and services.
How long do facial implants last?
Implants are designed to be long-lasting. They become integrated with your natural tissue and typically do not need to be replaced unless there are complications or a patient desires a change in contour later.
Will I have visible scars?
Most incisions are made inside the mouth or in hidden areas (like under the chin), so scarring is minimal and typically invisible.
How do facial implants compare to dermal fillers or fat grafting?
Implants offer a more defined and permanent result. Fillers are temporary and ideal for minor volume correction, while implants are best for patients seeking structural enhancement and sharper definition.
Can facial implant surgery be combined with other implants?
Many patients choose to combine implants with rhinoplasty or facelift surgery to achieve a balanced, comprehensive result.
Are the implants and procedure safe?
Yes! Facial implants have been used safely for decades and are made from FDA-approved, biocompatible materials. Dr. Denton uses a meticulous, conservative approach to ensure your safety during surgery and throughout your recovery.
Will I feel the implant?
Initially, you may feel some tightness or awareness in the area, but once healed, implants feel like a natural part of your bone structure. Most patients forget they’re even there, they simply see a more sculpted version of themselves.
