Facial PEEK Implants
What are Facial PEEK Implants?
Mucormycosis, commonly known as black fungus, has left many patients with severe facial deformities, especially following surgical removal of infected tissues. For these patients, Facial PEEK Implants (Polyether Ether Ketone) offer a life-changing solution for facial reconstruction and aesthetic restoration.
PEEK is a strong, biocompatible polymer ideal for custom facial implants. It is widely used in mucormycosis rehab to reconstruct areas such as the cheekbones, orbit, jaw, and midface. These implants are tailored to each patient using advanced 3D imaging and CAD/CAM technology for optimal fit and function.
Symptoms Requiring Facial Reconstruction
- Facial collapse or asymmetry post-mucormycosis surgery
- Difficulty speaking, chewing, or breathing
- Orbital deformities such as sunken eye sockets
- Psychological distress from facial disfigurement

What happens during treatment in Facial PEEK Implants in Mucormycosis Rehab?
The surgical procedure is done under general anesthesia and involves:

The procedure may take 2–4 hours depending on the complexity.
