Facial and skull implants are commonly used to improve bone structure or sagging tissue of the chin or cheeks to enhance appearance and reshape or resize these facial features.
Penn head and neck reconstructive surgeons routinely use 3-D technology to generate customized facial and skull implants to precisely restore and enhance deficits following trauma or cancer surgery. The implants used during this procedure may be made from real bone or a synthetic material.
Through the use of these personalized implants, the Penn surgeons are able to maximize functional and aesthetic patient outcomes.
