things, knowing that you look great. Many people who

confidence as a result. We can help rectify this facial
imperfection with chin implant surgery.
Chin (mandibular) augmentation is the surgical use implants
to bring the chin into better balance with your other
facial features. It is very common to have chin implants
when a nose job (rhinoplasty) is being done. Physicians
also refer to the procedure as genioplasty. The
outcome is a balanced relationship between the structures
of the face.
The
procedure balances a weak, or receding, chin and make
a prominent nose seem less large.
What can I expect from Chin Implant (Mentoplasty)
surgery?
It
makes the chin more prominent. It is considered beautiful
when, seen from the side, the chin and the lower lip
are vertically aligned.

as regards size and outline. This is why this surgery
is usually performed together with a rhinoplasty.

can give the chin a more masculine or feminine look,
according to the standards of proportion and harmony
prescribed for each sex.

How
is the Chin Implant surgery performed?
Chin
augmentation can be performed under local or general
anesthesia, depending on patient and surgeon preferences.
The surgery can last from thirty minutes to one and
one-half hours, depending on the complexity of your
case..
The surgeon may use some bone or fat from your body,
harvested cadaver tissue, silicon implants or a whole
range of other synthetic or biological inserts which
may even include specially prepared coral. Some implants
are made of solid silicone, generally considered safe
by most physicians because, they say, there is no scientific
evidence that solid silicone is harmful.
In
the operating room, your vital signs will be monitored
while the surgeon selects the best size and shape to
enhance your appearance. He then inserts it into a pocket
under your chin. Or, the implant is inserted through
the mouth, along the lower lip.
Usually,
the chin is taped after surgery to minimize swelling
and discomfort. Sutures are usually removed in five
to seven days. Chin augmentation is also commonly combined
with facial liposuction, where fat is removed from under
the chin and under the neck. Chin implants conform to
the bone and are usually undetectable. The implant is
generally sutured to bone or attached with titanium
surgical screws.

for one or two weeks.

vigorous activities in about five to six weeks.

What
are The Long-Term Effects of Chin Implants?

and fat grafts can be reabsorbed into your body. Cadaveric
bone grafts are rejected in rare cases while your own
natural bone will grow into a coral implant. Some bovine
injectibles – which require an allergy test – are permanent.
