Chin
Implants / Augmentation Surgery |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Through the ages, strong chins have
been considered signs of beauty. Chin augmentation,
is a surgical procedure that has helped thousands of people improve
their appearance by changing the contours of their faces. |

What does Chin
Augmentation Surgery Involve? |
|
|
|
|
|
Chin surgery is usually performed to
augment a weak chin or to balance other facial features, such as a
prominent nose. Cosmetic surgeons often use a chin implant, for chin
enlargement. In addition to cosmetic chin surgery, facial implants
are also commonly used to enhance the cheeks (for higher
cheekbones). Chin implants can be combined with cheek implants or
used in conjunction with liposuction surgery or other cosmetic
facial procedures such as a facelift or rhinoplasty nose surgery.
Thanks to modern technology, there is
a safe & permanent method to correct a receding chin and this is
sought after by men and women worldwide. Chin augmentation is
usually not carried out until the development of the bone is
considered complete. Chin augmentation or mentoplasty are surgical
procedures designed to provide a more vibrant and attractive look of
distinction. Chin implants are often recommended to patients
undergoing nose surgery to achieve better facial balance. |

What can I expect
from a chin implant? |
|
| |
|
|
|
As all patients are individual,
varying results can be expected in each patient. Chin Implant surgery will enhance your
appearance and your self confidence. Realistic expectations are
important to be happy with any surgery. |

Are chin and cheek
implants safe and will it feel natural? |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Facial implants have proven to provide
a safe, predictable, low-risk cosmetic surgical procedure. Millions
of facial implants made from non-toxic materials such as expanded
polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) & silicone have been implanted, with
no reported cases of allergic reaction. The implants, designed
specifically for use in the chin come in wide shapes and sizes. The
implants are custom-trimmed by your surgeon for a more natural fit.
Chin implants are made from special
medical-grade materials that, when positioned and inserted, look and
feel like normal bone and so you usually cannot tell the difference. |

| |
Who is the best
candidate? |
|
| |
|
|
| |
The best candidates for a chin implant
are patients with a receding chin/ weak chin. If you have a chin
that looks too small in comparison with other facial features, you
would also benefit from this, for example; a chin implant can
improve the neckline and make a large nose appear smaller, and so
will help balance out the facial features. It can also improve a
rounded face and neck. |
