Surgical Procedure
The method must be tailored to the individual patients needs. The principal is to create a pocket at the chin and place an implant into the pocket. The incision may be placed in the crease lines under the chin or in the mouth. Some patients need more extensive surgery to re-position the bone of the chin. The operation is done under either local anesthesia (you are awake) or general anesthesia (you are asleep). You can choose. Most of the time this is an outpatient operation and a stay in the hospital is not needed. It is not unusual to combine this operation with a rhinoplasty to improve the facial profile.
Duration of Operation
Thirty minutes
Risks and Complications
The main risks are swelling, bruising, bleeding, infection, scarring and numbness, or change in feeling.
After Care
After surgery, the surgeon usually applies a dressing that will remain in place for two to three days. You will experience some tenderness. Post-operative discomfort can be controlled with prescribed medications. Chewing will probably be limited immediately after chin surgery, and a liquid and soft food diet may be required for a few days after surgery. Most patients feel a stretched, tight sensation after the surgery, but this usually subsides in a week.
Recovery
The recovery takes one to two weeks. Most people are back to work within a week or two.
Result
A classically-shaped face contoured to maximize prevalent norms of attractiveness and beauty.
Hospital Admission
Most patients do not need to stay in the hospital overnight.
Anesthesia

FAQ : Surgical Procedure
What is Chin Augmentation?
A strong chin has long been considered a sign of physical beauty. Today, persons with weak or receding chins can have the condition corrected with a simple and routine outpatient surgery that involves adding a synthetic prosthesis to the existing chin structure. Some may require a surgical procedure in which the chin bone is moved forward to give them the desired appearance. The procedure may be used in conjunction with other procedures such as a facelift or facial liposuction which completes the desires of the patient to enhance their physical appearance.
What will I need to do before the surgery?
Prior to your surgery you will be seen in the office for a consultation with your physician concerning the extent of the procedure and to discuss the results that can be expected. Special attention will be paid to the structure of the face. There will be photographs taken before and after your surgery so that you can compare the improvements of your surgery. Other subjects that will be discussed in the consultation include the type of anesthesia (local or general) to be used and the risks involved. You may also be given some presurgery instructions that could include eliminating the use of aspirin for several weeks prior to the surgery to help avoid excess bleeding. Sometimes antibiotics are prescribed to help prevent infection.
How much pain is there?
The amount of pain depends on the method used, and varies from person to person. Local anesthetic is used to reduce pain during the surgery.
What does the surgery consist of?
The surgery will usually begin with you receiving some medication to help you relax. Once the anesthesia has taken effect the doctor will begin the procedure by making incisions inside the mouth or under the chin. If the chin bone is to be moved forward the physician will complete the procedure throught the incision in the mouth. If the procedure involves the placement of a prosthetic chin implant then the procedure may only require one small incision under the chin. The entire procedure could take two hours or more depending on the procedures to be performed.
What should I expect following the procedure?
After the procedure is complete a compression dressing is applied to the area to prevent bleeding and excess swelling. The dressings will usually be removed wihtin a week. Any pain you experience will be mild to moderate and can be controlled by oral medications.There may be some bruising and swelling around the treated areas. Swelling can be reduced by keeping your head elevated when reclining. Most people are completely ambulatory immediately following this procedure, but rest is recommended for the first day after surgery. Patients are usually able to return to normal activities within a week, although strenuous exercise should be avoided for several weeks along with any other activities that may cause a rise in your blood pressure. Chewing and brushing teeth may be difficult for a time following the surgery.
How quick is recovery from Chin Surgery?
You will experience some discomfort and swelling in the affected area for several days. It's normal to experience some temporary difficulty with smiling and talking. Black and blue marks may be visible around the chin and neck. Your plastic surgeon will instruct you about dental hygiene, eating and any restrictions to your activities after surgery.
FAQ : Result
What are some of the most common benefits of this surgery?
