Titanium facial implants

[Randomized Shame]

When doing research for something else, I ran across this video here. I've never seen anything like this before and wasn't even sure what I was looking at at first.

Apparently they're titanium facial implants. It's normally done for facial reconstruction caused by trauma/genetics/disease/etc. Most doctors would never perform this for purely cosmetic reasons it seems, but I'm curious how many people have gotten this type of implant done purely for aesthetic reasons.



I haven't done much research on it at all, but I thought I'd share it here to see if anyone is aware of this and what their thoughts of it are and/or explain how it works.

Giant uses them on all his implants, im pretty sure they are more expensive and harder to place

Who's Giant? (Assuming he's a doctor.) And I imagine that to be the case.

Titanium implants are highly customisable and have very low rejection rates, so can be very good for facial implants, catering to the patients needs.

Many surgeons such as Valerio Ramieri and Mario Pagnoni use them (they also use PEEK implant material too).

 

[RealSurgerymax]

That video is from me. I design implants for production in either PEEK or Titanium, occasionally medpor, never silicone.

Silicone is the cheapest and most problematic facial implant material, screws cannot fixate rubber rigidly and under the masseter muscles they screws will rip through the implant and the implants move around.

PEEK and Titanium are almost interchangeable from a practical comparison standpoint.

The advantage with titanium is I can design even more details and features into the implant like muscle anchorage points to help prevent face sagging that sometimes happens after implant procedures.

I can also combine them with plates in bimax surgeries and other cranio-maxillo-facial osteotomies.

Do you mainly do cosmetic cases? When I did (very brief) research into titanium implants, I only found it for extreme facial reconstruction cases.

It's because they are too expensive in America to do without insurance. In America surgeons do cheap surgery (and make it seem luxurious) using silicone implants for out of pocket elective surgery. If they used good materials no one could afford to get implants there.

Mostly cosmetic but also some post cancer reconstruction and pediatric syndrome reconstruction. Right now just doing the surgical planning and design, and usually assisting but not the as the surgeon. It's a collaboration. Im starting to grow that part of my work so I dont have to deal with as many ungrateful looksmax people with unrealistic expectations and personality disorders.

You should blast one gram of test and see how it feels

Understandable. I wish you luck with your future journeys.

Have you ever had any concerns with titanium toxicity? It was also something I ran into briefly when looking up these kinds of implants.

No, it's not toxic. The only potential problem is metal-on-metal joint prosthesis where microscopic particles are being grinded and released. Thats why for titanium TMJ replacement one side of the joint prosthesis is HDPE and one is titanium (either the ball or socket) but an implant with no moving parts isn't any problem.

Whats PEEK Material? Is it cheaper than Titanium?

It's the same cost in most countries, peek is cheaper in Italy, peek is more expensive in turkey and gulf countries.

Netflix actor, D1 football player, and a few niche influencers (~200-500K) and little known models (~25K on insta at the time) None of them public about it.

Also rejected some plastic surgery influencers, that promote the gay and unnatural plastic aesthetic.

titanium

Causes significant artifacts on 3T MRI, though nowadays they try to develop methods of their reduction via post-processing and stuff.

Is there any truth in titanium implants being uncomfortable in very cold or hot weather?

no one has told me that and it wouldn't make sense. theresnsoftntissue with warm blood supply over it - and I use titanium mesh style not solid, so it has blood supply throughout it.

Did they go to Turkey?

With which surgeons have you worked with exactly? any good ones in spain?

DM

No you will have to either travel to Rome or Istanbul and I am not currently taking new surgeon partnerships it's not that simple. My system isn't as easy as it looks, as if just any surgeon can put my implants/plates in with no issues. There's so many things I have to teach them and right now I dont have time.

-How often do you do revisions? Are these revisions due to infections etc or because patients request change to achieve a different aesthetic outcome afterwards?

nigga its just implants that are titanium theres literally

That's literally an ignorant statement. The material of implants determine a lot, like healing, potential new risks or side effects, placement, implementation, and so on. The overall gist is the same I'm sure, but there's a reason why there's different types of implants.

This year I have about 4 revisions of my own work and we are halfway in.
- one wants to adjust infraorbital Malar implants from 3 years ago to my newer style
- one wants to adjust periorbital implants around his (successful) OBO from last year
- one wants to increase his jaw angle size he got with his bimax last year
- one case had implant infection and will need me to make new implants in 3-6 months.

Most people acknowledge they improved a lot they're just chasing perfection. Measured by the fact I've only had 2 patient remove their implants, out of hundreds, and one of those said he goes back and forth and maybe regrets removing them (he has more psychological issues/paranoia about people finding out he got plastic surgery). And as far as I know no one has ever removed and replaced their implants with anything other than replacements by myself.

While adjustment requests are quite common (maybe 10-20%) you pretty much never see someone regretting them or getting them revised by someone else.

Also pls stop going through my IG following and messaging them all, its annoying for them and many are messaging me complaining about it.
