What is Chin Remodeling?
Also known as chin implants or facial implants
Chin Surgery can be considered as one of the most striking cosmetic facial surgeries. Many individuals have very low self-esteem due to the fact that their lower face and jaw have not developed properly. This can be considered as a genetic situation and other family members may also show similar traits.
In addition to enhancing the profile, chin surgery can also tighten and enhance the saggy and fatty tissues in the neck. Few chin surgery patients may feel the need to have a minor liposuction which enhances the chin and addresses fatty or sagging neck skin.
Chin implants can be done with the help of an incision inside the mouth for a completely hidden scar. Implants can also be placed through the skin under the jaw using a tiny incision.
Chin implants are extremely important when facial balance is required in the lower part of the face.
Chin deficiency is usually visible looking at a person’s side profile, where the chin should align with a vertical line drawn through the philtrum (junction between nose and upper lip). The cosmetic surgeons use silicone implants and also customize the implant to fit a patient’s individual jaw line.
A chin implant is a minimal risk procedure that can greatly enhance or improve facial features of a patient’s face, and is also completely removable and reversible.
The chin implant can be done under local anesthesia with twilight anesthesia, by making a tiny incision under the chin into a natural hidden crease.
The stitches are usually removed one week after the procedure.
The implants used during surgery are maintenance-free.
Chin implants on their own can be done as a single procedure, or are mostly combined with rhinoplasty, cheek augmentation or facelift to improvise the outcome.
Although a Chin reshaping surgery conventionally involves making cuts into the jaw (mentoplasty) and resetting of the position of the jaw (sliding genioplasty), it also requires significant surgical morbidity and with realignment of the jaw it takes a longer recovery time, risk of cross bite and nerve injury.
Modern day chin implants provide a very safe way of avoiding mentoplasty or sliding genioplasty, while restoring natural facial proportions.
In women, chin implants reimpose facial proportion and natural beauty.
While in men, having a well formed chin is a key feature of favourable male facial aesthetics.
Facial implants are designed to augment, reconstruct, or rejuvenate the facial features. They are obtainable in a wide range of sizes and styles which help restore contour and proportion of the face. Facial implants can be also used to enhance the chin and jaw, to provide the sculpted cheekbones that one wishes to have.
