Chin Implant Surgery
The two facial features that can be seen from a side view are the nose and the chin. Nose structure and rhinoplasty are discussed in another section, so the chin will now be examined . A weak chin creates an unbalanced look and may cause the nose to look over-projected from a side view, as well as draw negative attention to the structure of the upper neck. A wrap-around chin implant creates a longer, wider chin without it appearing sharp. The chin implant is placed over the existing chin by means of a small, discreet incision hidden under the chin.
Surgery of the Chin
A chin implant patient should fall under three specific criteria, which are the wish to enlarge the chin and create a balance within the face, be physically sound, and have a realistic view of their surgeons ability to transform their face.The chin implant procedure can be performed in your plastic surgeons procedure center within his/her office, a surgical facility, and even a hospital. General anesthesia or local anesthesia administered with sedation .
The chin implant healing time line begins at five days following the surgery. This is when the volume of the surgical site decreases and bruising fades and facial movements including speaking should become more comfortable following the surgery . One week after surgery, patients are usually able to return to their jobs. The two week post-operative mark is when stitches are often no longer needed, so special stitches absorb into the body and other types must be removed. After two weeks following the chin implant surgery, anything physically demanding can be done so long as it does not cause anything to disrupt the face. Those activities are not allowed until about six weeks after the chin implant surgery. Generally recovery from this facial cosmetic surgery anywhere from ten to fourteen days after the operation.
Chin implants carry a degree of risk, and may complicate oneself in the following ways, having the potential to cause: an unfavorable reaction to the anesthesia, implant relocation, an unnatural looking chin, a short lasting loss of sensation, infection, hematoma, capsular contracture, or an additional surgery.
