Facial Implants
Facial implants are medical devices manufactured from a biocompatible material. They are available in a range of sizes and shapes and can be customized specifically for the individual. During your consultation, you and Dr. Lim will select implants that will enhance your facial appearance by creating natural looking contours. Facial implants are not designed to address wrinkles, fine lines, or sagging skin. If these conditions are a concern for you, or if you want to enhance other areas of your face, Dr. Lim may recommend an additional procedure.

Chin implants
You will have some swelling and tenderness in the treated area. Discomfort can be managed with medications and cold packs. Care should be taken to protect your face from impact or abrasion during your recovery. It is normal to have some numbness of the cheek and upper lip after this procedure for one to two weeks. You can typically return to work within a week of your surgery unless your work duties involve physically demanding tasks.
Chin implant procedure
You will be given intravenous sedation or general anesthesia prior to surgery. Depending on your facial structure and desired outcome, Dr. Hyman will make an incision inside your mouth or below the chin.
The implant is placed against your jawbone and under your tissue. This results in a chin that looks and feels natural. You will be able to go home within a few hours of the procedure.
Cheek implants
A sculpted facial structure and plump cheeks send a signal of youthfulness. If genetics, age, or an injury has resulted in flat or sagging cheeks, cheekbone enhancement with implants can lift and fill this area. Cheek implants are available in a range of shapes and sizes.
Dr. Hyman is meticulous in selecting cheek implants to enhance your facial structure without looking overdone or surgically created. If you prefer a non-surgical, temporary increase in your cheek volume, it can be achieved with dermal filler injections.
Cheek implant procedure
The procedure begins with general anesthesia or intravenous sedation administered by a board-certified anesthesiologist in our in-house, state-of-the-art surgical center, which has a perfect safety record. Dr. Im will make a small, discreet incision inside your mouth to insert the cheek implants. You can return home the same day under the care of a friend or family member, or we can arrange private care from a nursing professional.
how much do facial implants cost in Korea
The cost of facial implants in South Korea generally ranges from $3,000 to $8,000 USD per procedure. Many clinics offer comprehensive packages tailored for international patients, which typically include consultations, the surgery itself, and aftercare services. This makes the process convenient and accessible for those traveling from abroad.
The exact price of facial implants can vary depending on several factors. The type of implant plays a significant role, as chin, cheek, and jaw implants differ in complexity and materials, which can affect the overall cost. Additionally, the reputation of the clinic or surgeon can influence the price, with well-known clinics or highly experienced surgeons often charging higher fees for their expertise.
Customization is another factor that may impact the cost. Some clinics offer personalized implants designed to match the patient’s unique facial structure, which may result in a higher price due to the added precision and tailoring involved.
