Facial implants enhance aesthetics and correct congenital or traumatic asymmetries. Correctly identifying facial implant indications helps ensure the treatment produces the best outcomes with the fewest complications. Various analytical platforms can help determine volume-deficient facial areas. Software advancements analyzing facial aesthetics and implant-type matching are under development. Each implant material has unique characteristics contributing to its popularity, including ease of placement and retrievability, stability, and bony integration. Placement approaches for each type also differ considerably. Complications can arise when the wrong implant type and placement technique are used.This activity for healthcare professionals is designed to enhance learners’ competence in evaluating and treating the aging, traumatic, or atrophic chin, mandibular angles, and malar regions with facial implants. Participants gain valuable skills, enabling them to contribute meaningfully to an interprofessional team caring for patients with facial asymmetries.
