Am I a good candidate?
Chin augmentation is a great option for people who feel uncomfortable with the way their face looks; full face or profile. The best candidates are patients with microgenia (receding chins), but with normal jaw function.
I will discuss your options after evaluating your general health status and any pre-existing health conditions or risk factors.
How is it done?
Chin augmentation usually takes about 30 to 45 minutes, unless it is combined with another facial surgery such as rhinoplasty or face lifting. Read More
How long is the recovery?
After surgery, the chin will be taped to secure the implant’s position and to reduce swelling. Most often, a hospital overnight stay is not needed and you can quickly resume your daily activities, but without excessive efforts during the recovery period.
