Abstract
An improved implant for the mid-facial or submalar region of a patient's face. The implant is relatively thin with a teardrop-shaped profile. It has a relatively broad head which is adapted to fit in the canine fossa of the maxillary bone, and a tapered, relatively narrow tail which extends laterally under the zygomatic eminence. The implant is anatomically correct to create the appearance of soft tissue restoration without distorting the normal facial bone structure. In addition, it softens prominent nasolabial folds, and provides a more youthful looking fullness to the cheeks by repositioning and augmenting soft tissue which has lost the underlying support of an atrophied fat pad of the cheeks.
