Atlanta,United States - September 19, 2022 /PressCable/ —

For years, implants have been used to reshape the contours of patients’ faces with cosmetic surgery, most often in the cheeks, jaw, and chin regions. While the risks are well understood by surgeons, this new awareness campaign launched by Dr. Harvey “Chip” Cole III, MD, FACS, Quadruple Board Certified Surgeon is helping to educate the public, and potential future patients, about the potential outcomes.

The new campaign focuses on the long-term effects of facial implants, in contrast with fillers. Traditional facial implants are made using medical-grade silicone and designed to last for the lifetime of the patient, while fillers comprise several materials that lose their effect in 6 to 24 months after the operation.

Dr. Chip Cole explains both operations can be performed in a single day, but patients may be fully recovered from receiving fillers in only a few hours, while facial implant patients often require several weeks of recovery.

The campaign covers the risks associated with each procedure, from the potential complications involved in any surgery to the specific hazards of cosmetic facial implants. When performed by a qualified professional the risks are minimal, but some serious complications can still occur, including damage to facial nerves, shifting of the implant, or numbness.

Many patients prefer the long-term effects of implants over fillers, but the campaign explains that while the procedure offers lifetime results, the fact that it lasts forever can cause additional complications. In a recent study of patients with chin implants, researchers found that nearly every patient suffered from some amount of bone erosion where the implant was placed.

The erosion was minimal in these patients, and not an immediate concern or threat, but the campaign suggests that the complications could have been more severe if the operation had been performed by a less-qualified surgeon.

A complete explanation of the risks and benefits of facial implants can be found in the full campaign. Dr. Chip Cole has created a series of new awareness campaigns based on more than 33 years of experience specializing in cosmetic reconstruction and rejuvenation. He has performed over 33,000 surgeries and is recognized internationally as an oculoplastic and cosmetic surgery expert.
