Chin Surgery
Cosmetic enhancement of the chin aims to restore harmony to the lower face, jawline, and neck. Individuals pursue chin lift surgery for various reasons, such as addressing a perceived “weak” chin or dissatisfaction with the shape or direction of the chin.
Two common approaches to altering chin appearance involve advancing the bony section of the chin or inserting an implant through a small incision. Your plastic surgeon will assist you in determining the most suitable option for your needs.
What to Expect During the Consultation
Initiating the process involves a consultation with your plastic surgeon and their support staff. You will be required to discuss your medical history, encompassing surgeries, allergies, and current medications.
Your plastic surgeon will collaborate with you to identify the optimal shape and position for your chin, exploring various surgical types and combinations to achieve the most natural results. Chin surgery may be complemented by procedures such as volume augmentation of the jawline, a neck lift, or a facelift.
How Is Chin Surgery Performed?
The surgery takes place in an accredited surgical facility. While certain procedures can be performed with the patient sedated and under local anesthesia, most individuals opt for general anesthesia. Your plastic surgeon will thoroughly explain all available options and guide you through the decision-making process.
