Santa Ana Chin and Cheek implants can help improve the shape and structure of the face by adding harmony to the cheekbones, chin and submental region from the chin to the neck. These Santa Ana implants can be performed either simultaneously or one at a time. They can help people feel more comfortable with their facial structures and can provide a sense of confidence and self-esteem when people are out in public in Santa Ana or with family and friends.
Understanding Santa Ana Chin & Cheek Implant Surgery
Getting a Santa Ana Chin and Cheek Implant requires a surgical procedure that must be performed under general anesthesia. Dr. Tavoussi performs all of his surgical procedures at the Pacifica Outpatient Surgery Center, which serves all of Orange County. The surgery center offers a calm, comfortable and secure environment for patients, and it also provides the best in patient safety with its modern, state-of-the-art surgical suites. The facility is staffed with experienced anesthesiologists who have local hospital privileges as well as ACLS-certified registered nurses who help in the operating room and post-operative recovery areas.
During the Santa Ana implant surgery, Dr. Tavoussi will make several small incisions to provide a place for him to place the implants. Most of these incisions can be carefully hidden to help patients avoid noticeable scars in the future. Most of the time, he uses silicone inserts that look quite natural when placed beneath the skin and underlying tissues. He will then suture these incisions closed. Patients are given a chance to wake up while at the surgery center before returning home the same day.
After Having Santa Ana Chin & Cheek Implant Procedures
Santa Ana patients typically experience some pain after the procedure for which Dr. Tavoussi will prescribe a painkiller. They will also have swelling around the incisions and around the areas where the chin and cheek implants are placed. This swelling will begin getting better by the third-day post-operation but may not clear up altogether until several weeks post-operatively. Therefore, Santa Ana cheek and chin implant patients must realize that they will not be able to see the true results of their cosmetic surgeries until this point. They must treat the affected areas with care, avoiding pulling clothing over the head and taking care when washing the face.
Dr. Tavoussi will want to see all surgical Santa Ana patients a couple of days post-operatively at the OC Cosmetic Surgery Clinique in Newport Beach. He will ask how patients are feeling and evaluate the surgical sites and incisions. Patient satisfaction is the priority for us.
