Chin Enlargement (AUGMENTATION GENIOPLASTY)
A chin implant is intended to give the patient an improved profile, as well as a more attractive jaw line that creates a better balance between the chin and other facial features.
Who is a Candidate for Chin Enlargement?
You may be a candidate for chin enlargement if you have a small or receding chin. A chin that looks too small in comparison with other facial features can make the nose appear longer. Chin implants are also appropriate for individuals with a desire for increased chin prominence..
About Chin Enlargement Surgery
The procedure is done on an outpatient basis under sedation and local or general anesthesia. An incision is made inside the lower lip or under the chin, and an implant is placed. In an alternative method called sliding osteotomy, a portion of the chin bone is permanently moved forward.
The patient goes home with a small pressure dressing over the chin. Initial discomfort is easily controlled with oral medication. Swelling, tenderness, and possible local numbness gradually subside within a month or two.
