Facial Implants
Facial implants consist of implanting a solid material in hopes of enhancing or augmenting your face.
It consists of three parts: chin, jaw, and cheek. Each one increases the size and projection of the implanted area. Any one or up to all three can be used.
Immediately following the surgery, swelling, numbness, even discoloration may occur. It may even be several months before the swelling subsides. Any concerns should be discussed with your doctor.
The cost of a facial implant begins at $2,000 and goes up from there. Depending on the size, areas, locations, other factors, the cost can be extensive.
As with any surgery, all precautions should be taken before the operation. Thorough consideration should be taken before agreeing to any elective surgery.

Hip Implant
Hip implant surgery enables thousands of people live happier, healthier lives. Hip implants have been going on for approximately fifty years, quite successfully.
Its components have changed over the years, but today using metal alloys, plastics, and polymeric materials, surgeons can replace a painful joint with a highly functional, long-lasting prosthesis.
The hip joint is considered a ball and socket joint. Therefore, it is often necessary to use three pieces to replace the failing one. A total hip replacement implant has three parts: one part fits into the thigh bone; the ball, which replaces the ball of the thigh bone; and the cup, which replaces the worn out hip socket.
They each come in different sizes for patients of all sizes. Ongoing problems with wear and debris may eventually make further surgery necessary, including replacing the implant.
Men and patients who weigh more than 165 lb have higher rates of failure.
The cost of a hip implant varies greatly depending on your location. Most places charge between $3,000 and $8,000.
