see both men & women who have been negatively affected due to an under-defined chin, many people believe that they will need extensive work to bring their face into balance. A chin augmentation surgery perhaps is all that’s required to bring harmony to your facial balance.
What is Chin Augmentation?
Chin augmentation is also known as Mentoplasty or Genioplasty, which is a cosmetic surgery that aims to improve the jawline of men and women. Though various techniques are popular, this procedure usually involves a surgical incision and inserting a silicone implant into the chin to create an impressive facial profile.
Silicone implants are available in various shapes and sizes, and we have chosen the right one for you to give your chin a more natural look. Other implants and fillers are also popular options for those who want to have their chin enlarged without surgery.
Should I Get It Done?
Both men and women can undergo chin augmentation surgery in Chicago
to improve their jawline. If you have a double chin, a fleshy neck, a protruding nose, a weak chin, a tapering chin, a square chin, or a sunken chin, you can get it fixed, provided you accept the services of a trustworthy plastic surgeon.
Chin augmentation surgery in Chicago is often combined with liposuction surgery of the chin & neck area to give you more contoured jawlines and neck. It can also be combined with other facial treatments such as nose jobs (also called Rhinoplasty) & facelifts to improve the overall balance as well as the shape of your face.
How to Prepare?
You need to abstain from smoking and taking non-steroidal inflammatory drugs and herbal supplements. It may also be that medications containing nicotine may affect your recovery rate. Your consultant surgeon also provides you with pre-procedural guidelines before chin augmentation so that we can optimize your recovery after surgery.
Procedure
Chin augmentation surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia. We prescribe some oral medication for pain and anxiety before, during, and after the operation.
An incision is made on the chin to create a pocket for the implant. As soon as the implant is inserted into the bone and fixed, it does not move. The incision is closed and a dressing is applied.
What are the Results I Can Expect from Chin Augmentation Surgery?
Chin implants are long-lasting and permanent. Even if your skin is affected by age, the implant will remain the same. The recovery period is short and usually lasts about a week.
For the first three to four days, there may be swelling and mild discomfort, but within a week you can get back to work. The results are generally expected to be normal.
Chin augmentation is the result of visible tissue distortion following trauma. When you heal, your chin will get a new shape that will be visible, you will be able to see the balance of your facial features, your nose will appear less dominant and your profile will be more pleasing to the eye.
Chin implants never need to be removed, and your newly shaped chin and jaw will be there for the rest of your life. If you are tired of a weak jaw, chin augmentation is the right thing to do to give symmetry and strength to your facial features. It is a subtle approach, but the degree of harmony and balance that it lends to your characteristic.
