Chin Implants

Surgical chin augmentation involves implanting a plastic material into the chin and adhering it to the bone.

Chin implantation is most often employed in conjunction with rhinoplasty to create a harmonious nose-chin relationship and aesthetically pleasing profile, and may be indicated in up to 25% of patients presenting for cosmetic rhinoplasty. Chin augmentation can significantly improve the results of a facelift by lengthening the jawline and providing a better framework over which to reposition the soft tissues of the face.
Alloplastic implants (those made from synthetic materials) are the most common.

  • There are several ways to conduct this procedure:
  • Advancement, or moving the chin forward
  • Pushback, or moving the chin backward
  • Side-to-side, which can help with asymmetrical chins
  • Vertical changes, such as making the chin longer or shorter

 
DURATION:

This procedure can take anywhere from 30 minutes to three hours.

RECOVERY

After three to five days, you can remove your wound dressings and compression tape, and return to your daily routine. Don’t exercise for the first 10 days following surgery.
