Benefits of Chin Augmentation
Chin augmentation, whether performed alone or in combination with other cosmetic procedures, offers numerous benefits:
- Produces a stronger, more masculine facial profile for men
- Creates balance and proportion for men and women between the nose, chin and neck
- Can be performed on an outpatient basis, using local anesthesia
- Incisions are typically hidden to prevent visible scarring after
- Synthetic implants offer long-lasting results
- Results of chin augmentation can be dramatic for overall appearance
Chin augmentation is appropriate for both men and women of all ages, and can be performed in conjunction with other procedures to further enhance results. In fact, chin augmentation is commonly combined with rhinoplasty to bring a sense of balance and proportion to the entire face. Another common combination is chin augmentation and a neck lift when indicated to create definition and a more youthful profile to the lower face and jawline.
How it Works
Dr. Robinson performs chin augmentation under either local or general depending on whether it is being performed with other procedures at the same time. A small incision is placed under the chin to allow for the placement of the synthetic implant. Implants come in a variety of sizes so we can customize your procedure to your specific facial proportions. Video imaging during the initial consultation is extremely helpful in both determining the shape and size, but more importantly provides the patient a simulation of the final result. The implants are designed to look and feel like your natural tissue as well as are tapered at their edges in order to provide a smooth transition from the implant to the bone so no one will know that you had facial surgery performed.
Chin augmentation is performed in around 30 minutes. The incision is closed using tiny sutures that will be absorbed by the body over time so you don’t have to come back in to have them taken out. Patients are able to return home the same day as their surgery.
After chin augmentation, you can expect to have some bruising and swelling as the area heals. Oral medication may be used in the first few days to manage any discomfort. Most patients heal from their chin surgery within 5-7 days and are able to return to their regular schedules at that time.
Is Chin Augmentation Right for You?
Results of chin augmentation are evident as soon as healing from the surgery is complete. You will be able to enjoy your new facial profile permanently in most cases. However, the procedure is also completely reversible, should you decide you want to remove or change your chin implant in the future.
Chin augmentation offers one of the greatest levels of patient satisfaction of all the plastic surgery options available today. Dr. Robinson is highly experienced in this procedure and will work with you to ensure your surgery meets your expectations.
