Customized Facial Implants

Your facial bone structure is the foundation of your appearance — high cheekbones, a defined jawline, and a balanced chin are the underlying architecture of an attractive, harmonious face. When that foundation lacks definition, soft-tissue treatments can only do so much. Customized facial implants rebuild the structure itself, using custom-fabricated implants to enhance the cheeks, jaw, and chin with sub-millimeter precision. Dr. Erez Dayan offers customized facial implants at Avance Plastic Surgery Institute in Reno/Tahoe, NV.

When it comes to facial implants, Dr. Erez Dayan didn’t just train in the field — he helped write its reference text. He co-authored the internationally recognized textbook The Atlas of Facial Implants alongside world leader and Harvard program director Dr. Michael J. Yaremchuk, having worked with global experts in facial implant surgery during his Harvard training. A board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon and Medical Director of Avance Plastic Surgery Institute, Dr. Dayan went on to be selected as one of just two fellows for the elite aesthetic fellowship at the Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute. He uses the latest imaging technology to create custom-fabricated, natural-looking implants among the practice’s face and neck cosmetic procedures.

What Does Surgery with Customized Facial Implants Involve?

During your consultation, Dr. Dayan listens to your concerns and performs a full facial analysis to show you which areas can be enhanced. An attractive facial structure generally consists of prominent cheekbones, a defined jawline, and a chin well-balanced with the rest of the features. If your face lacks aesthetic definition in these areas, implants may be an ideal solution to revitalize your appearance.

Facial implants achieve a different goal than soft-tissue fillers. While fillers have a role in select cases, they have a limited ability to significantly balance the facial structures. Customized implants, available in all shapes and sizes, address the underlying framework for results that look seamlessly natural and well-suited to your anatomy and aesthetic goals.

“Fillers soften and add volume, but they can’t rebuild bone structure. When a face needs real architectural balance, a custom implant designed from the patient’s own anatomy is what creates a natural, lasting result.” — Dr. Erez Dayan

What Kind of Facial Implants Does Dr. Dayan Offer?

Chin: chin projection and width strongly influence facial balance in both frontal and profile views, addressed with custom-fit silicone or MEDPOR porous polyethylene implants to correct a weak or underdeveloped chin
Jaw: jaw implants create a fuller, stronger, more defined lower face, adding balance and contour for both men and women
Cheek: cheek implants, placed through small incisions inside the mouth, enhance midface definition, create high cheekbones, and offset age-related volume loss
Custom CT-Fabricated: implants designed from sophisticated CT imaging for sub-millimeter precision, balancing the natural asymmetries present in every face

What Are the Benefits of Facial Implants?

Balanced facial proportions and symmetry
Improved profile and frontal facial views
Treatment of congenital or orthognathic defects
Correction of facial asymmetry
Restoration of lost facial volume
Natural-looking, long-lasting outcome

What Determines Candidacy for Facial Implants?

Those seeking improved chin balance, a contoured jawline, or more cheek definition often benefit strongly from customized facial implants, as can patients experiencing age-related loss of facial volume. As with any surgery, candidates should be non-smokers in good mental and physical health, with no major medical conditions and realistic expectations. Dr. Dayan determines whether you’re a good candidate during a private consultation in Reno/Tahoe.

What Can I Expect from My Recovery?

Dr. Dayan provides a detailed aftercare plan tailored to your procedure. Most patients experience some swelling or bruising that resolves within one to two weeks, and routine follow-up appointments at the Reno/Tahoe office ensure your recovery progresses smoothly.

How Much Do Facial Implants Cost?

The cost of facial implants varies, since each is selected according to your individual aesthetic preferences and anatomic needs. After an in-depth physical evaluation and review of your medical history during your private consultation, Dr. Dayan can provide a personalized quote, and the office can help you apply for financing options to support your cosmetic and reconstructive journey.

Frequently Asked Questions About Customized Facial Implants

How are custom facial implants made?
Dr. Dayan uses sophisticated CT imaging to design implants tailored to your exact anatomy, allowing sub-millimeter precision in balancing the natural asymmetries every face has.

Hands down the most qualified, honest and knowledgeable plastic surgeon in Northern Nevada. Dr. Dayan and his staff are truly committed to offering leading edge technology, quality and professionalism to each and every treatment ranging from to simple non invasive injections to complicated procedures. What he and his team have to offer always seems too good to be true, but they always over exceed expectations and are incredibly budget conscientious. The Reno-Tahoe area is incredibly fortunate to welcome such a skilled and qualified aesthetic professional into the area!

Dr. Dayan is the surgeon clients should interview with and choose for their procedures. I am always very cautious when deciding important life decisions and I can say without a doubt that I would go through my surgeries again with Dr. Dayan. Every appointment has been professional, courteous, informative, and truthful. I never felt rushed. I also appreciate knowing my privacy is maintained. My fear of pain is very respected, and his demeanor eases it quite a bit. I made my decision to trust Dr. Dayan because of his extensive education, vast experience, and my first-hand witness of his character. These factors have allowed me to look forward to all of my appointments.

I had three consultations and didn't make any decisions lightly, but Dr. Dayan blew the competition out of the water. From the moment I met him during my consultation, he was honest and open while also personable. He also insisted on putting me in touch with previous patients before I made my decision so that I could have a better understanding of the process and recovery as a whole. I ultimately picked him because I knew he would do a good job but also because I felt at ease with him. The day of surgery, I was very nervous and he was comforting while efficient with his time. He was also completely honest with me during my recovery and called either myself or my husband often to make sure I was doing well, but also to make sure my husband understood the process completely. He also makes himself so available for any little questions or concerns I've had, making me feel secure in knowing he's only a phone call or a text away. Although I am not yet completely healed (only 3 weeks post-op) I already feel so confident in the work that has been done. He has helped me to transform something that had me so insecure for such a long time into a body I feel comfortable in. I cannot wait for the final results! I won't hesitate to return to Dr. Dayan for anything else I need done. Between him and his office staff (Alli) I feel like more of a member of the Avance family rather than a patient!

I highly encourage anyone who is considering plastic/reconstruction surgery to schedule a consultation with Dr. Dayan. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and outcome from my breast augmentation. At my consultations, not only did I get my questions thoroughly answered, but I was treated with such genuine kindness and patience. Dr. Dayan is professional, highly knowledgeable, honest and has a certain way of connecting with others. For these reasons, I trusted him and felt supported throughout my whole breast augmentation experience from pre- to post-surgery care. All around, I felt safe and informed about this big decision/investment which is all I could ever ask for. I recovered so much easier than I expected, and my breasts are looking perfect and natural! Dr. Dayan definitely listened to what I wanted and followed through. Lastly, I want to mention how sweet and supportive his team is over at Avance! I am very appreciative of their service.

My results after a "noninvasive" procedure are amazing. The cutting-edge techniques and noninvasive technology that Dr. Dayan incorporates into his procedures, as well as being a gifted and talented surgeon and individual, all contribute to his many accomplishments. However, I personally am impressed with his abilities to listen, communicate, and create beautiful results. I highly recommend a consultation with Dr. Dayan before making a final decision on any kind of procedure. Just another satisfied patient!

I had a perfect experience at Avance. Dr. Dayan was quick, professional, and checked in with me regularly to make sure I was comfortable during the short procedure I needed done. His demeanor was calming and I was able to put full trust in his abilities from start to finish. Erez really knows his stuff, and it's amazing he's here in Reno when he could clearly be somewhere much bigger if he wanted. I definitely won't hesitate to book again if needed.

Absolutely an amazing experience! Where to start? When I first thought of getting a mommy makeover my expectations were not that high because I didn’t ever think I could look the way I wanted to. I always just hoped it would be an improvement and I would be happy with that. Then I met Dr. Dayan. From the first consultation he made me realize that he could give me beautiful results that I didn’t know were possible. He was so kind and confident and I knew from that moment that he was going to be my surgeon. I booked my surgery (a breast augmentation with implants and a tummy tuck with lipo) that day and it was the best choice I have ever made. Before my procedure he was very thorough and explained step by step what he was going to do which made me feel so comfortable. I actually wasn’t nervous at all. I was so excited! I am now 1 month post op and my results are above and beyond what I could have ever dreamed my body could look like after a mommy makeover. Dr. Dayan did an exceptional job. I am not completely healed and I already am so pleased. There are no words that can do justice to how amazing it is to put trust in someone with my body and wake up with results that are better than I could have ever imagined. He truly is skilled in his profession and has the eye for what is best for your body to give you the best results. He followed up with me several times post op to see how I was feeling. If I had any concerns or questions he responded to them quickly and personally which made me feel confident that everything was going well! His care is exceptional from beginning to end. He has an amazing staff as well. His Patient coordinator Ali is so sweet and helpful. She is amazing with communication as well as helping you with financial options and scheduling. You won’t be disappointed working with Dr. Dayan and Ali!

Dr. Dayan and his team are the best of the best! The level of care, professionalism is top of the class. I strongly recommend Dr. Dayan and his entire team. I cannot say enough about his work - he is incredibly talented and I am confident under his care. Of course the results are amazing! I love my LIPS!
