– Real Patient
Chin augmentation is a surgical procedure used to reshape and enhance the chin area. It is commonly performed using synthetic implants, but can also be done through fat transfer. The purpose of the procedure is to create a more balanced facial profile with improved proportions and enhanced aesthetic features. During surgery, an incision will be made either inside the mouth or under the chin in order to place the implant in the desired location.
Once placed, it will be secured in place with sutures or screws. The incisions will then be closed and bandaged. After surgery, you may need to wear a compression garment for a few weeks to help reduce swelling and bruising as well as support your new chin shape. With proper care and maintenance, you can enjoy long-lasting results from chin augmentation surgery!
The recovery process for chin augmentation is generally fairly straightforward. You may experience some pain and discomfort after the procedure, which can be managed with oral pain medications prescribed by your surgeon. Swelling and bruising should subside within a few weeks after surgery. During the healing process, you will need to avoid strenuous activity for several weeks to ensure proper healing. It is also important to follow any additional instructions that are provided from your doctor to help ensure proper healing and prevent complications.
Post-surgery, adhere to a soft diet for a few days and sleep with your head elevated. We’ll provide a comprehensive list of do’s and don’ts for a smooth recovery.
Long-term care involves regular check-ups and maintaining good skin health. We’ll guide you on how to preserve the results of your chin augmentation over time.
It’s normal to experience a range of emotions post-surgery. We’re here to support you not just physically, but also emotionally, as you adapt to your new appearance.
If you are looking to build up a receding chin or reduce an overly prominent chin and are physically healthy and realistic in your expectations, then chin augmentation may be right for you. It is not uncommon for chin-augmentation to be recommended as a complement to rhinoplasty because the chin can help to balance out the nose. Dr. Donath is happy to meet with you for a consultation to help you decide if chin-augmentation is right for you.
During the consultation for chin augmentation, Dr. Donath will meet with you to examine your chin, discuss your goals, and take a thorough medical history. Bringing in pictures of chins you find desirable can help you to convey your goals. Dr. Donath will also weigh other factors like age, skin type, and attitude toward surgery to help determine if chin augmentation is right for you. He will discuss the technique, including the anesthesia and the surgical facility, along with the risks and the costs involved. The doctor will also take the time to address any questions or concerns that you may have.
Chin-augmentation may be performed with local anesthesia and sedation or with general anesthesia.
When the chin-augmentation incision is located on the inside of the mouth where the gum and lower lip meet, there is no visible scarring. An incision made on the underside of the chin within a natural skin crease will result in a small, well-concealed scar.
Some tenderness or discomfort can be expected after chin-augmentation which can be controlled with prescription medication.
Patients may experience some discomfort and tenderness after chin-augmentation surgery which can be managed with medication. Because chewing may be limited for the first few days, a liquid or soft food diet may need to be followed. If a dressing is applied to the chin after surgery, it will be removed within about two to three days. Stitches are removed after five to seven days. Swelling and bruising are common and most of the swelling will fade within about six weeks.
Work and most other normal activities can usually be resumed within about ten days after the chin-augmentation surgery.
Stitches are usually removed or dissolve on their own after five to seven days.
