A chin augmentation surgery helps to change a person’s appearance and can help to increase his/her self-esteem. A chin augmentation surgery can help a person in several ways. It helps to correct a weak or recessed chin and thereby improves the definition of the neck and jawline. It also helps to reduce the appearance of a full or ‘double’ chin caused by small chin bone and most importantly, it brings the chin into better proportion with the other features of the face and thus helps to improve facial harmony.
In this procedure, chin implants are used to augment the bone which is located at the front of the jaw below the teeth. The strength and definition of the chin are permanently enhanced after the artificial implant is placed under the skin. The augmentation gives a patient a well-proportioned look. When done by an experienced cosmetic surgeon, chin augmentation surgery will furnish a natural look. A person who has undergone the surgery will have to sleep face-up for 1-2 weeks after the surgery. This will help to protect the incisions and also to deal with the swelling. Sometimes, a person may also be recommended a liquid-only diet for depends after the surgery.
