Chin Augmentation

Chin Augmentation

Chin Augmentation is a procedure designed for patients with small or short chins, condition which makes the face appear out of balance. The nose can appear to be long and the general appearance of these patients is of someone with a weak character even though this may be far from the truth.

Chin augmentation can be performed in a number of ways. One involves placing an implant (silicone, gortex or medpore) through an incision under the chin or through the mouth. The procedure takes about 30 minutes. There is postoperative swelling for approximately 5 to 10 days with mild to moderate discomfort.

Another approach is to use one of the few available, long lasting or permanent fillers to augment the chin. The advantage here is, that the procedure can be done within minutes during your initial consultation, with little or no discomfort. Results are long lasting or permanent.
