A well-defined chin can enhance a person’s facial profile. Dr. Stein has over 26 years of experience in plastic surgery, helping patients achieve enhanced facial features. A chin implant could provide the contoured look you’re seeking.
What is Chin Augmentation?
Chin augmentation, or chin implant surgery, uses a silicone implant to add volume and definition to the chin. This procedure can enhance a weak chin, improve the lower face profile, and create a balanced facial appearance. Chin augmentation can be done independently or as part of a facelift, with implants available in various shapes and sizes to match your unique structure.
What Results Will I See with a Chin Implant?
A well-proportioned chin can transform your look, making your profile more balanced and often reducing the prominence of the nose. Chin augmentation offers a lasting solution with a permanent silicone implant. Placed carefully, it remains stable and provides a natural, sculpted appearance.
What to Expect with Chin Augmentation
During your consultation, Dr. Stein will discuss your goals and available options to help you decide on a chin implant. The procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes under local anesthesia. Dr. Stein makes a small incision under the chin to place the implant, which is then securely sutured.
How Long is Recovery from Chin Augmentation?
Following the procedure, you will rest in recovery for a few hours before heading home. Recovery generally lasts four to seven days. Eating soft foods for a few days and using cold compresses for swelling may ease recovery. Most return to regular activities within two weeks.
Am I a Good Candidate for Chin Augmentation?
If you want to enhance your chin’s shape for a defined profile, chin augmentation could be an ideal solution. Dr. Stein can guide you through your options in a personalized consultation.
