While eyes, forehead, and other areas of the upper face are often scrutinized most in the mirror, an unbalanced chin can also detract from your natural beauty.
Chin implant surgery creates a symmetrical, well-defined chin that adds better balance to your face. The chin is often underestimated in terms of the natural enhancement it can bring to the rest of your features, and chin implants can help achieve facial harmony.
Chin augmentation is the surgical option for anyone who feels that their chin lacks the right shape in relation to the rest of the face. A chin implant can correct a weak chin, strengthen the look of a receding chin, or improve the overall appearance of the face and profile.
You might be a good candidate for chin implant surgery if you have any of the following:
Square or pointed chin
Recessed chin
Fleshy neck
Prominent nose
What is Chin Augmentation?
Chin augmentation is performed to improve an unattractive chin by implanting medical-grade material. After the process, the chin will look like a normal bone structure. If the patient’s chin has shifted forward, the chin bone may require surgical intervention. The surgeon will discuss the appropriate chin outcome with the patient. The surgeon will create a pocket in the chin under the thin fascia covering the bone and place the implant in the correct position. The incision is made inside the mouth or externally under the chin crease. If repositioning of the bone structure is needed, the surgery is performed under general anesthesia, and the patient needs to stay one night in the hospital.
Results and Aftercare
Chin augmentation will improve a weak chin, enhance facial shape, and create a naturally beautiful chin balance. Swelling will last for 3-4 months, and the scar will be hidden.
