When to Consider a Chin Implant

So, how will this option work for you? If you want to determine your candidacy for chin implants, then you need to ask yourself a few questions:

• Are you dissatisfied with the look of your chin?
• Are you in good physical health?
• Do you have realistic expectations of what surgery can achieve?
• Do you live a healthy lifestyle?

If answered yes to these questions, then you are a candidate for chin implants. A healthy person with realistic results in mind should have no problem getting chin implants put in place. It is important to consider all of these things carefully before undergoing surgery, so you know that it is what you really want to do. Changing your chin with this surgery can fix:

• Small chin
• Weak chin

If you have not reached physical maturity yet, it is best to wait before having such procedure performed. Growth will change the shape of your face and can shift things around into awkward positions. When done properly, chin implants will define your face by bringing better balance, proportion and creating more distinct features. If you meet the listed qualifications, then you are a good candidate for chin implants and should schedule a consultation with Dr. Bared. He can answer any questions you have and help you determine if this procedure is right for you.

The Chin Implant Procedure

Chin implants are often performed in conjunction with other facial plastic surgery procedures, such as rhinoplasty, facelifts, etc., but they are also performed alone if that is what is needed. It will follow a general plan:

Anesthesia for a Chin implant Procedure

You can have either general anesthesia or intravenous sedation. The doctor will advise you as to the best option for you. This will promote your comfort while the work is performed.

*Each patient is unique and individual results may vary.

Incision in a Chin Implant Surgery

The incision is made beneath the chin in the natural contours, in order to conceal any resulting scar. Dr. Bared avoids the placement through the mouth as this could contaminate the implant and lead to an infection. Implants are then inserted and adjusted accordingly, to give you the results you desire. After they are firmly implanted, the doctor will close up the surgery site.

Sutures in a Chin Implant Procedure

These stitches will be put into place to close the incision and promote fast healing. They will need to be removed at a follow up appointment.

After the surgery is completed, you will be able to go home and begin your recovery.
