Methods

Types of face augmentation

Forehead augmentation

Custom-made implants matched to your anatomy add three-dimensional volume to the forehead. Ideal for a very flat or hollow forehead that you want to plump up for a softer, fuller profile.

Chin implant

For a short or receded chin that is not severe, an artificial implant (Gore-Tex or silicone) is placed at the tip of the chin to lengthen or enlarge it and balance the lower face.

Front cheekbone (zygoma) implant

When the front zygoma under the eyes lacks volume, the side cheekbones can look wide and the eyes sunken. A front-zygoma implant restores a harmonious, three-dimensional mid-face.

Recovery & trip

Facial implant surgery is quick and performed under local (deep-sleep) anesthesia, so recovery is comfortable. Because each implant is custom-made, plan to visit the clinic about one week before surgery for molding.

Stay in KoreaAbout 10–14 days — roughly 1 week before surgery for implant molding, plus healing and suture removal afterward.
SwellingMild; most noticeable for the first 3–5 days, then settles.
StitchesRemoved about 1 week after surgery; the forehead incision sits 3 cm behind the hairline.
ActivityAvoid heavy exercise, sauna, alcohol and smoking for about 4 weeks; walking is encouraged.
DietChin and cheek implants use intra-oral incisions — keep to soft food and gargle often for the first week.
