Frequently asked questions

1. General & methodology

Craniofacial Matchmaking & Network Integration: A mathematically perfect design requires flawless clinical execution. FacialNexus operates an exclusive, pre-vetted network of elite, board-certified maxillofacial and plastic surgeons across Mexico and Colombia. As your dedicated matchmaker, we analyze your unique anatomical design and connect you with the precise surgical specialist within our network whose expertise aligns with your specific case. We facilitate the entire clinical introduction and streamline the surgical coordination process, ensuring a seamless handover to the chosen surgical team.

2. Materials & technology

Traditional off-the-shelf silicone implants are smooth and flexible. The body recognizes them as hostile foreign objects, forming a thick fibrous capsule that causes the implant to shift, warp, and erode your underlying skeleton (bone resorption).

Versus Standard PEEK: While standard raw PEEK is already a massive upgrade from silicone because it shares the strength of real bone, it still has a completely smooth surface. Standard, uncoated PEEK can still suffer from micro-movements and a higher risk of early bacterial infection because the body takes longer to accept it.

Our implants utilize medical-grade PEEK enhanced with a proprietary bio-layer coating. This advanced, micro-textured surface chemistry tricks your body into recognizing the implant as its own biological tissue, delivering three massive clinical breakthroughs that standard PEEK simply cannot offer:

  • 30% Less Post-Op Swelling: The coating is highly biocompatible and suppresses the body’s acute inflammatory response, allowing you to heal dramatically faster.
  • Massive Masseter Muscle Grip: Standard smooth implants cause muscle slippage. Our micro-textured bio-layer allows soft tissue and chewing muscles to naturally anchor onto the material, simulating real bone.
  • Reduced Risk of Infection: The anti-microbial properties of the coating actively inhibit the formation of dangerous bacterial biofilms.
* The advanced biocompatible surface coating is engineered to modulate the body’s acute foreign-body reaction. By minimizing early-stage cellular irritation, it supports a more controlled inflammatory phase, promoting a smoother and more predictable initial healing window.

* Our specialized micro-textured surface morphology facilitates superior mechanical interlocking, allowing the masseter muscle and adjacent soft tissues to adapt stably to the implant, mimicking natural cortical bone fixation.

* The surface characteristics of the bio-layer are engineered to disrupt early bacterial adhesion. By actively inhibiting the formation of complex bacterial biofilms, the implant material inherently supports the reduction of late-stage implant-associated infectious complications.

3. The custom Journey

A 3D CT-scan (DICOM data) gives us a perfect map of your skeleton, but it tells us nothing about your soft tissue. It cannot show your skin thickness, fat distribution, or how your muscles move when you talk, smile, and express emotion. Meeting the head designer in real life allows him to perform precise manual measurements and adjust the final 3D blueprint side-by-side with you to guarantee absolute perfection.
The designer maintains an exclusive network of world-class, board-certified maxillofacial and plastic surgeons. Once you and the designer finalize the 3D model, it is submitted directly to the surgeon whose specific expertise matches your case. The surgeon conducts a strict medical cross-check to verify nerve clearance, safety, and feasibility before approving the blueprint for production.

4. Surgical logistics

We eliminate the guesswork associated with standard cosmetic surgery through a strict, three-pillar protocol:

Meticulous 3D Engineering: your transformation is secured weeks before you ever enter an operating room. Using your exact CT-scan (DICOM) data, we mathematically design your implant down to the millimeter to ensure perfect symmetry and proportion.

Advanced PEEK Technology: unlike generic silicone implants that sit on top of the bone and often look artificial, we exclusively use custom-milled PEEK. This bio-compatible material mimics human bone perfectly, resulting in a permanent, structurally powerful, and 100% natural-looking enhancement.

Elite Surgical Matching: a flawless digital blueprint requires a master builder. We do not rely on a general 'all-in-one' doctor. Instead, we match your specific 3D design with the exact board-certified specialist in our international network who has the highest level of expertise for your unique procedure.

Yes. If you require complex structural changes—such as custom PEEK bone implants combined with soft-tissue modifications like submental liposuction, buccal fat management, or an eyelid lift—we deploy a Dual-Surgeon Synergy model. Two distinct, top-tier specialists operate on you sequentially during the same anesthesia window. The bone expert secures the skeletal foundation, and the master plastic surgeon executes the delicate soft-tissue artistry.

5. Recovery & concierge support

Customized Care Models: You can choose to elevate your procedure by combining complex structural bone changes with advanced soft-tissue modifications - such as submental liposuction, buccal fat management, or a blepharoplasty. If you opt for this comprehensive approach, you can choose to activate our Dual-Surgeon Synergy model.

Under this model, two distinct, top-tier specialists operate sequentially during a single anesthesia window. You can choose to have a dedicated craniofacial expert secure the custom PEEK skeletal foundation, while a master plastic surgeon simultaneously executes the delicate soft-tissue artistry. This flexible approach allows you to tailor the surgical team precisely to your aesthetic goals.
Your journey begins by filling out our secure intake form, where you will submit your basic information, aesthetic goals, and your recent 3D CT-scan (DICOM files in a ZIP folder). Once submitted, we send your comprehensive data package directly to a specialized 3D craniofacial design team. A designer will review your structural anatomy to map out your digital planning and schedule your initial diagnostic video consultation.
