Chin augmentation can be the most remarkable cosmetic facial procedure for individuals with a deficient chin and fatty tissue in the neck.
The procedure involves the placement of a silicone implant through a small incision below the jaw or inside the mouth.
The size of the implant is chosen according the patient’s bony structure and his or her expectations for a desired augmentation.
Chin implant surgery is performed under local anesthesia with mild sedation in most cases.
However, general anesthesia is preferred if the surgeon is also doing a facelift or necklift.
The recovery time is about two weeks, with most patients experiencing mild discomfort, bruising and numbness around the lower lip.
