WHO IS GOOD CANDIDATE FOR CHIN AUGMENTATION?
The success and safety of the process depends on your candidature during your consultation. There is a customized solution for each patient according to their expectations. The doctor will discuss your face, your concerns about your expectations and explain the possible consequences of the procedure. If you are troubled by a small chin, weak jaw, or lack of facial contour, plastic surgery with facial augmentation can benefit you. For a person with a relatively short neck or unnatural bulge under the chin (submental fat), chin augmentation can provide a long neck contusion and reduce sub-mental bulge, which will improve one’s profile. If your facial structure is disproportionate – like the chin has been reabsorbed – it can significantly affect your self-image. In particular, a “weak” chin on a man can feminize the face and also inappropriately carry negative psychological overtones about his character. For the female, a weak chin may make a prominent nose appear even more visible and resemble a bird’s face.
People with asymmetry or congenital defects may also benefit from this procedure. Plastic surgery on the facial bones or with facial implants is best performed on people whose head and scalp have reached physical maturity, typically in late adolescence (17–18 years of age) Occurs in Before making any decision about your surgery, ask your surgeon if there are additional procedures that can increase your facial effects. Chin and cheek augmentation can be a helpful procedure and can often be accompanied by a rhinoplasty or nose job.
RESHAPING CHEEKS AND CHIN (CHIN AUGMENTATION)
Facial implants or chin aumentation are the best way to give you better appearance and boost your self-esteem. If you want to improve your looks with realistic expectations, facial implant is the right solution.Plastic surgeons routinely make use of implants to create proportionate features in case of younger patients. Often teenage girls ask for a reshaped nose or chin to be brought forward so as to have these features in better proportion with rest of the face. Older patients may opt for facial implants along with other cosmetic procedures. Such as, they may ask for implants to be placed over cheekbones during the face lift procedure to restore their youthful face. Implants also help in filling out faces that otherwise look tired or sunken.
The chin plays an essential part in the overall facial structure. Patients who have a weak chin may have poor development of the entire jawbone. This can stain their otherwise beautiful face. Chin reshaping surgery can prove to be a boon for such patients. In addition, people with bite problems can get it fixed and can benefit significantly from chin reshaping surgery in which the jaw bone are cut and then aligned.
For augmentation Chin implants are generally available in all shapes and sizes, however, they must rest on the bone.
Dr. Swaroop Singh Gambhir states with the fact that chin augmentation can be applied using implants which are usually made of medical-grade silicone. These can be placed internally at the chin point. In the facial area, it is slightly visible below the chin area. After surgery, the facial dressing will remain for 7 days. Augmentation is also done by either pulling the bone chin together or cutting the bone from the chin area, either to move upwards or to reduce the height of the face.
Facial implants offer significant changes in your features for better. However, in rare cases problems may occur, and one should be guided about such eventualities beforehand. We attempt to describe a few such possibilities, but do not claim to offer comprehensive inventory of all potential risks.
Sometimes a facial implant may shift and become unaligned slightly, the second surgical procedure may be required in such case for repositioning the implants. Any operation or procedure may entail an infection. Infections may occur around facial implants, which are first treated with an antibiotic. Still, if the infection does not clear up, temporary removal of the implant may become necessary. In such cases, implants may be replaced later. Ask for a detailed description of all associated risks for the procedure you are opting for.
Some implants are made using solid silicone. No scientific data is available till date on the basis of which silicone may be considered harmful. You and your plastic surgeon should discuss all current information and findings related to the implant type you have chosen.
There are usually two main types of surgery performed for the chin, contingent on whether the person has a bite problem. If it is simply a cosmetic problem, then a chin implant or reduction may work satisfactorily. If someone is having difficulty with their bite then to correct this proper protocol needs to be done. It is done in conjunction with orthodontics and planning is done first hand through digital models. Once mock surgery is done on the models and occlusion achieved the process is started. In the surgery, it can be a single jaw surgery or double jaw surgery. All this needs to be planned and executed. The results are astonishing.
