The cornerstone of a balanced attractive face is a well-defined jawline structure, male or female.
Some people are not able to achieve this in natural ways but the technological advances and studies have introduced a way for people to achieve the structure they wish to attain.
A chin augmentation, also called genioplasty, improves the contours of the chin, neck and jawline. Typically, surgery involves placement of an implant around a patient’s existing chin bone to augment the size and shape of the chin and achieve a more naturally attractive balance between facial features.
The shape of the chin is related to nose size. That is, a small chin may make a large nose more noticeable and vice versa. Often, rhinoplasty and chin implant are done together. Chin augmentation can also be performed at the time of neck or facelift, to help better define the jawline.
The procedure:
- Anesthesia will be used before the surgeon makes an incision either in the natural crease line just under the person’s chin or inside the mouth where gum and lower lip meet.
- The surgeon will create a space where an implant can be inserted by gently stretching the tissue. The implant will be made of synthetic material that feels much like natural tissue normally found in the chin, it is available in a variety of sizes and shapes. This allows custom fitting of the implant to balance the patient’s face.
- After implantation, the surgeon uses fine sutures to close the incision. When the incision is inside the mouth no scarring is visible. If the incision is under the chin, the scar is usually imperceptible.
After Procedure
- After the surgery, the surgeon will apply a dressing that will remain in place for two to three days. The person will experience some tenderness but will be prescribed with medication to help with post-operative discomfort.
- Chewing will probably be limited immediately after chin surgery, diet of liquids and soft foods for a few days after the procedure will be advised. Most patients will feel a stretched, tight sensation after the surgery, but this usually subsides in a week.
- After approximately six weeks, most swelling will be gone, and the person can start to see the results of the procedure.
