Does adding an implant (standard or cusom) actually improve the aesthetic outcome over just a facelift alone?” Short answer: sometimes yes—but only when there’s a structural deficiency to fix. Otherwise, it can add complexity without meaningful benefit. Here’s the practical way to think about it: When an implant does improve the facelift result A facelift repositions soft tissue.

For a round face, the goal is to shift from a circular, width-dominant shape to something more vertically defined and angular. With custom implants, you’re adding structure—but in round faces, soft tissue thickness is often the limiting factor, so reduction plays a bigger role than usual. Here’s how to think about the best combinations: Core Read More…

If you already have saline testicular implants and want to increase their size, that’s something that requires a revision surgery—it’s not something that can be adjusted or “filled up” after placement like some other implants. Here’s the reality of how it works: 1. Implants aren’t expandable once placed Testicular implants (saline or silicone) come in Read More…

Testicle implants have traditionally been used to replace a missing testicle. To achieve this goal, a range of standard implant sizes is available in both saline-filled and solid silicone forms. However, when a natural testicle exceeds standard implant sizes, a custom implant design is required. This approach allows for precise control of size and shape, Read More…
