ABSTRACT:
A facial implant for augmentation of the sub-malar region of the face includes a three dimensional body formed of a flexible tissue-compatible material having a convex front surface and a concave rear surface, such surfaces being substantially symmetrical about a plane of symmetry existing about midway between proximal and distal tips of the body, at which tips the convex and concave surfaces intersect. The body is also characterized by a thin proximal head portion consisting of upper and lower protrusions existing proximally with reducing thickness, a wider central portion, and a tail portion extending distally with reducing height and thickness to the distal tip of the body of the implant.
