Facial Implants, Reconstruction and Trauma Surgery, Orthognathic Surgery in Long Island, NY
Both cosmetic and reconstructive facial surgery have immense impacts on the overall form and shape of the face, potentially restructuring your appearance in multiple ways. Facial implants can enhance the facial definition of the cheeks, chin, and jaw.
Am I a Candidate for a Facial Implant?
If you are looking for a long-term solution to a lack of facial definition, cosmetic facial implants may be right for you. Additionally, patients seeking facial implants for reconstructive purposes, such as restoring function to the jaw or chin, are likely candidates for treatment. Candidates for facial implants:
- Would like to correct hollowed or thin features
- Desire a stronger jaw, contoured cheeks, or a sharper chin
- Have experienced injury or trauma to the face
- Have fully healed and matured facial bones
- Are nonsmokers and generally in good health
Candidacy and treatment for reconstructive patients are different than cosmetic, as Dr. Bienstock will likely be working with another of your physicians to determine the best course of treatment, depending on your needs. Cost is likely different, as reconstructive procedures may be covered in part by your insurance.
If you are interested in a facial implant for cosmetic purposes only, Dr. Bienstock will be able to determine candidacy during your comprehensive consultation.

What Are My Facial Implant Options?
The purpose of facial implants is to restructure the form of the face, often restoring balance or increasing emphasis on a certain feature. For example, hollow cheeks can cause the lower face to look larger than it is, and implants can create a more harmonious result.
Reconstructive procedures aim to restore functionality to the face after trauma, injury, or even congenital abnormalities. While reconstructive facial implants almost always improve the aesthetics of the patient’s face, there is always a medical necessity as well.
Chin Implants
A “weak” or underdeveloped chin can cause the face to look imbalanced or out of proportion. Chin implants are made of a hard silicone material and not only improve aesthetics, but are long-lasting and natural-looking.
Cheek Implants
Prominent cheekbones are a sign of youth and beauty, and whether you have lost volume due to aging or you never had it to begin with, cheek implants are a subtle yet impactful way to create the ideal facial proportion.
Genioplasty
Genioplasty focuses on restructuring or changing the shape of the chin. The chin can be moved forward or backward, misalignments can be corrected, or it can be reshaped. Some patients choose genioplasty to create a more oval or feminine shape to the face.
Orthognathic Surgery
The misalignment of the upper and lower jaws can cause problems with chewing, biting, talking, and even breathing. Orthognathic surgery, or jaw surgery, corrects these issues by realigning the patient’s jaws for functional improvement.
Trauma
As an Ivy-league trained maxillofacial specialist, Dr. Bienstock has years of experience performing complex reconstructive surgeries for a variety of issues caused by injury or trauma.
How Much Do Facial Implants Cost in Long Island?
The cost of facial implants in Long Island varies greatly from patient to patient, especially when considering the difference between reconstructive and cosmetic procedures. Other factors that contribute to the price are the type of implant, the complexity of your procedure, and the cost of anesthesia and other fees. Dr. Bienstock will walk you through the cost of the procedure at the time of your consultation.
