Where engineering and aesthetics meet
If you would like to achieve a more shapely, prominent cheek, chin, or jaw structure, facial implants may be a good choice for you. This state-of-the-art technique uses biocompatible implants specifically tailored to your anatomy to add dimension and definition to your appearance. Particularly beneficial for individuals with narrow face shapes or those who have experienced hollowing of their features over time, facial implants can highlight your natural beauty and provide a more buoyant, youthful appearance.
In contrast to other providers that offer ready-made implants, Dr. Stone designs your facial implant specifically for your unique facial anatomy and goals for treatment. Together, you will discuss your desired outcome, facial proportions, and aesthetic preferences to design your truly ideal look. Dr. Mona Stone and the aesthetic specialists at Stone Surgical Arts are proud to offer this revolutionary and highly effective technique to the Westlake, Texas, community.
State-of-the-art resculpting for enhanced facial harmony
Like genioplasty (see Chin Sculpting / Reshaping), facial implants provide definition to the face, particularly the cheeks. This procedure is ideal for those with naturally slender faces as well as for those whose faces have become sunken due to age.
Facial implants are performed using synthetic materials (e.g. silicon) beneath the soft tissues of the cheek, chin, and/or jaw area to sculpt the face and make it appear more balanced and youthful. That way, even if you can’t turn back the hands of time, you can at least turn to facial implants for a younger looking you. (For a possible alternative, see Injectable Facial Fillers). Stone Surgical Arts crafts your implants based on 3-D scans of your facial structure. Dr. Stone brings the eye of an artist and the skill of an experienced surgeon to each procedure. Most implant surgeries take one hour or less to perform, and patients are able to return to work after about one week.
A fuller, more toned face in one hour or less
One of our most popular procedures, facial implant surgery, can help you achieve a more balanced, sculpted, and youthful facial structure.
Stone Surgical Arts is proud to offer implants crafted with the guidance of 3-D scans of each patient’s face. This 3-D technology allows Dr. Stone to create implants that harmoniously blend with the natural proportions of your face.
Facial implants are performed in an outpatient procedure, which typically takes an hour or less. A combination of local anesthesia and sedation or general anesthesia may be used depending on the requirements of the individual procedure. Facial implants are a long-lasting surgical option. While it is possible to adjust implants later on, most Westlake facial implant patients will enjoy the benefits of their implants for a lifetime without requiring any follow-up surgery.
Youthfully defined contours
Facial implants provide definition to the face, particularly the cheeks and chin. This procedure is ideal for those with naturally slender faces as well as for those whose faces have become sunken due to age.
If you would like to see more dimension and definition in your facial structure, facial implants might be a good option for you. Facial implants help you gain fullness and balance in your facial features. Individuals who are in generally good health and do not have any conditions that could impair the healing process are candidates for this procedure. During your initial consultation, you will have the opportunity to discuss your aesthetic goals and customize a surgical approach that helps you look and feel your most radiant.
When it comes to facial harmony, one size does not fit all. For the best aesthetic results, your natural facial proportions must be considered. Dr. Stone will use facial anatomy in accordance with your desired outcome to shape your ideal custom facial implants, enhancing your natural facial harmony for stunningly natural-looking results.
During your consultation, she will explain all of your options to help you design your implant down to every detail using state-of-the-art rendering technology. With the guidance of a facial surgery specialist, you will discuss such aspects of your implant as projection, angle, size, and overall shape to achieve optimally personalized results. With customized treatment, the possibilities are virtually endless.
How is a facial implant or chin augmentation surgery performed?
Your facial implant procedure will be performed in Dr. Mona Stone‘s surgery center located in Westlake, TX. (Chin Sculpting / Reshaping). The first step toward getting facial implants is the consultation, during which a 3-D scan of your face will be taken to guide the construction of your implants. Dr. Stone will analyze your facial shape and help you set surgical goals to help improve the proportions and contours of your face. After your implants are created, you will be ready to have them placed. Facial implants are inserted in an outpatient procedure using sedation or general anesthesia.
During the procedure, one or more small incisions will be made in locations where scarring will be minimal and nonvisible. Your custom implants will be carefully placed beneath the soft tissues of the face. You may receive platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment during your procedure to encourage better healing. Plan on having someone drive you home and help you get settled in for recovery.
Dr. Stone will use a small incision under the chin that hides in a natural skin crease which minimizes risks such as infection or nerve injury that can come with placing the implant from an incision inside the mouth.
A pocket is created along the chin, and the implant is carefully placed in the appropriate position to augment the shape of the chin. The skin and soft tissue are then closed over the implant, and a compression dressing is applied to help prevent any complications, such as fluid collection after surgery. The procedure typically takes less than an hour and is performed on an outpatient basis.
Healing from your procedure
Immediately after surgery, your lower face will be bandaged with compression dressings that are typically left intact for 48-72 hours. Dr. Stone will prescribe pain medication as needed, and the stitches are typically removed in a week.
You should plan to avoid heavy exertion for the first few days and stick to a soft, non-chew diet for 2 weeks after surgery to help minimize disturbance in the chin muscle and bone. Some swelling may be present for longer but will gradually lessen in the weeks following the surgery. Results will be visible right away and will continue to improve as you heal.
Highlight your features for a bolder, more beautiful look
Facial implants allow you to highlight your features and achieve more shapely facial contours by lifting and accentuating key areas of your profile. Whether you would like a stronger chin, a more sculpted jawline, or fuller, more lifted cheeks, facial implants offer a long-lasting surgical solution that requires minimal downtime. This procedure comes highly recommended by Dr. Stone, who is proud to be able to provide beautifully and thoughtfully crafted facial recontouring with the support of the latest 3-D scanning technology. Facial implants can be used to address a variety of cosmetic concerns and provide stunning results that can last a lifetime.

Facial implants are made of a biocompatible material that will remain intact, meaning that the contouring provided by the implants will be permanent. In rare cases, a second surgery may be required to achieve the best results.
Facial fillers are gel injectables used to plump and smooth fines, wrinkles, acne scars, and thin lips with results that last from months to years depending on the project and procedure site. Facial implants, on the other hand, are customized inserts that provide more comprehensive reshaping and contouring with results that can last a lifetime.
