Pre-maxillary implant

A pre-maxillary implant device to be surgically inserted in the pre-maxillary area of the human face to increase the protrusion of the base of the nose, comprising a unitary integral implant member of semi-solid plastic material or the like, compatible upon insertion with surrounding tissue, comprising a laterally elongated body of a width providing opposite end portions of appropriate size to correspond substantially to the distance between the lateral alar bases of the recipient including a central riser formation forming an upright pedestal portion for supporting the miesiel crucra having a convex front face extending upwardly along an arcuate path having an approximately 70.degree. posterior inclination and having a concave rear face, the pedestal portion being provided with a posterior notch extending substantially vertical along the mid-region of said rear face to provide fit against the anterior nasal spine, the pedestal portion to be inserted under the DSN muscle to provide a foundation for nasal base protrusion and tip projection, the implant member having a substantially flat horizontal bottom surface across the entire width thereof and the pedestal portion having a substantially flat top surface of less lateral span than the bottom surface, and a pair of relatively thin opposite lateral extensions providing wing formations projecting from the lowermost portions of the pedestal portion and terminating in vertically enlarged terminal formations providing support for the lateral alar bases.
