The Balanced look you desire with a Chin Implant:
A chin implant, also known as a genioplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that involves placing an implant made of silicone or other materials in the chin area to enhance the projection and shape of the chin. This procedure can help balance the overall appearance of the face by creating a more harmonious relationship between the chin, jawline, and other facial features.
Operation:
‘The procedure typically begins with the surgeon making an incision either inside the lower lip or under the chin. Once the implant is inserted and positioned, the incision is closed with sutures or surgical tape. The procedure takes around 30 minutes to an hour and is done under local anesthesia or IV sedation.
Recovery time for chin implant procedure is generally quick, with most patients able to return to normal activities within a week or two. While there may be some mild swelling, bruising and discomfort in the first few days, these side effects are typically short-lived.’
A chin implant can help balance the face by:
- Increasing the projection of the chin to create a stronger, more defined jawline.
- Improving the proportion between the chin and the nose, creating a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing facial profile.
- Enhancing the overall symmetry of the face, creating a more harmonious and attractive appearance.
In conclusion,
A chin implant, also known as genioplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that can help balance the overall appearance of the face by creating a more harmonious relationship between the chin, jawline, and other facial features. The procedure involves placing an implant made of silicone or other materials in the chin area to enhance the projection and shape of the chin. The procedure is typically done under local anesthesia or IV sedation and recovery time is generally quick. It's important to consult with a plastic or maxillofacial surgeon to determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure and whether it can help you achieve your desired look. It's not a substitute for orthognathic surgery which is a procedure to correct jaw bone malformations or deformities.
