Benefits
What is Chin Augmentation?
Chin augmentation is a medical procedure also known as genioplasty. The goal behind this type of surgery is to place an implant on a person’s existing chin to change the size and appearance of the chin. This can tremendously help achieve balance and symmetry among facial features. It can also help people who have a damaged or weak chin.
People who have a double chin can also benefit from chin augmentation because it can reduce the appearance of the double chin, which is usually caused by a smaller chin bone.
Candidates
What is a Chin Implant?
These implants are made out of safe and pliable materials that come in different shapes and sizes to fit a person’s facial structure and enhance symmetry and face contour.
Chin augmentation is just one type of surgery that can be done. Plastic surgeons can also recommend liposuction and chin reduction. Liposuction essentially removes the fat in the chin area.
The shape of a person’s chin is always related to nose size. For example, a smaller nose might make the chin look prominent, whereas a larger nose might lead to the chin looking smaller. Because of this correlation, patients who are undergoing chin augmentation surgery often opt for rhinoplasty because both surgeries can be done simultaneously.
Techniques
What to Expect with Chin Augmentation Surgery?
After being placed under a general anesthesia, a small incision is made under the chin area. The surgeon might use an implant made out of silicone, cartilage or opt to use your body’s fat or tissue. The whole procedure typically lasts between 1 to 3 hours. Upon completion of the procedure, swelling is normal and can last up to a month.
Risks & Considerations
The implant may extrude or is misplaced/moves.
