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, in the form of a unitary integral laterally elongated body of semi-solid plastic material including a central riser formation forming an upright pedestal portion for supporting the mesial crura having a convex front face extending upwardly along an arcuate path having an approximately 70. degree. posterior inclination and having a concave rear face provided with a posterior notch to 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 has a substantially flat horizontal bottom surface across the entire width thereof and the pedestal portion has 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.
