Chin Augmentation |
|
An underdeveloped chin is frequently associated with a profile imbalance, and if out of proportion with the rest of the facial features a face can look unusual. Chin augmentation can help to even out the proportions of the face, and someone who is sensitive about their looks can go about day to day activities again without feeling self conscious. The chin augmentation procedure is undertaken as a method of increasing the profile the chin.
Chin augmentation is a simpler and much less painful alternative to cutting the jaw bone itself (sliding genioplasty). The implants are made of solid, moulded silicone, which gives the most natural looking result.
The surgery takes about an hour and is carried out under general anaesthetic or local anaesthetic with sedation. Small incisions are made either inside the lower lip, which conceals scarring, or just underneath the chin to minimise visible scarring. A pocket is then created over the front of your jawbone and the implant is inserted. The implant will be specially selected to the correct size and shape to give you your desired results. |
