Whether you just had nose surgery or find that your face isn’t naturally proportioned correctly, chin augmentation could be useful. Residents in Naperville can use facial implants to change the shape of their face. The procedure is designed to add more proportion to the chin area and balance out other features. It can also help your neck look slimmer and accentuate your nose.
Suitable Candidates
Chin augmentation is useful and can change the aesthetics of your face and body. Residents in Naperville who are suitable include people with a pointy or square chin, recessed chins, fleshy/large neck, and a prominent nose. Many patients choose to get chin implants with a rhinoplasty procedure for maximum effect with less downtime. You can also consider lip augmentation and cheek implants, as well, and can even get it done at the same time.
You should be in good health and have a realistic expectation about the surgical procedure. Your surgeon should discuss your medical history to further determine if you’re a suitable candidate for the procedure.
The Procedure
Before you decide if surgery is right for you, it can help to know what the procedure entails. An implant is used to supplement your existing jaw bone and is usually in front of the jaw and under your teeth. The surgeon has to make incisions, usually at the base of the chin or in the mouth between the gums and lower lip. The space is opened enough to fit the implant and sutured together. Sutures inside the mouth should dissolve in 10 days and suture under the chin are removed after 10 days.
Chin augmentation is something to consider if your bones have recessed or your face isn’t symmetrical. Visit the Center for Cosmetic & Laser Surgery in Naperville to learn more.
