If your chin is recessive or absent, your face may lack harmony.
In other words, your appearance would be enhanced by having a stronger chin. A weak chin can also make your nose look large.
Chin implants can give you a whole new profile. Although this is a simple procedure, chin implantation can have very dramatic results. Often, a patient will have a chin implant when having other procedures, such as nose surgery, a face lift, or liposuction.
Explain what's involved in chin augmentation / chin implant.
To insert a chin implant, Dr. Kridel will make a small incision under your chin. He slips into place an implant made of medical-grade plastic and secures it with a few stitches. He puts a small bandage over your chin, and then removes it four days later. The day of surgery, you can return home, and normal activities can be resumed a week later. (Avoid strenuous exercise for three weeks and contact sports for six weeks.) |
