Multidisciplinary Clinical Approaches To Facial Implant Procedures: Nursing, Radiology, Pharmacy, Dental Perspectives, Physiotherapists, And Health Security Professionals In Emergency Cases-An Updated Review

Abstract

Background: Facial implants are widely utilized in reconstructive and aesthetic surgery to correct skeletal deficiencies, restore facial symmetry, and address age‑related volume loss. Their use has increased significantly over the past two decades, with malar and chin implants demonstrating relatively low complication rates and predictable outcomes.

Aim: This review highlights updated multidisciplinary perspectives—nursing, radiology, pharmacy, dentistry, physiotherapists, and emergency health security—on facial implant procedures, emphasizing anatomy, indications, contraindications, surgical technique, equipment, complications, and clinical significance.

Methods: A comprehensive narrative analysis was conducted using contemporary literature summarized within the full article. Topics include implant materials, imaging modalities, surgical approaches, postoperative care, and complication management.

Results: Modern facial implant surgery is supported by advanced imaging, software‑assisted planning, and refined surgical techniques. Three‑dimensional imaging significantly improves preoperative planning accuracy. Titanium, silicone, and high‑density polyethylene remain the principal implant materials, each offering distinct advantages in stability, biocompatibility, and tissue integration. Complications range from hematoma, seroma, and infection to nerve injury and implant malposition, with infection reported in 2–5% of cases. Despite these risks, implants offer shorter recovery times than osteotomies and provide precise, customizable augmentation of the chin, malar region, and mandibular angles.

Conclusion: Facial implant surgery represents a safe and effective solution for aesthetic enhancement and facial reconstruction when grounded in proper patient selection, meticulous anatomical assessment, imaging‑guided planning, and disciplined surgical technique. The multidisciplinary model enhances patient safety and optimizes outcomes.
