Chin Implants


Procedure Description:
Chin implants are mainly used to help patients achieve the jaw line they always wanted.  These facial implants can be used to enlarge a chin, providing patients with an improved, more proportionate chin and structured jaw line. The most common reason for chin implant is to correct a receding chin.  Many patients also opt for chin implant if they feel their chin is too small in relation to other facial features.

Time Required:
Chin implant surgery take about 1-2 hours to perform.

In/Out Patient Info:
Out patient.

Risks:
All surgical procedures even chin implants carry a risk.  These can include infection, bleeding, or reaction to the anesthesia. Specific chin implant risks may include asymmetry of chin, shifting of the chin implant, prolonged loss of sensation, and possible nerve damaged.

Duration of Results:
Chin implant surgery results are essentially permanent.

Recovery:
A protective compress will be applied to the chin immediately after the surgery to help the chin implants take hold sufficiently.  Patients are usually advised to use cold compresses for a few days and to remain restful for about a week.  Most chin implant patients are able to return to work, if the job is not physically strenuous, within the first week of recovery.  Exercise should be postponed for, at least, 4 weeks after chin implant surgery.

Insurance Info:
Because of the cosmetic nature of chin implant surgery, insurance is usually not involved.

Anesthesia:
Chin implant anesthesia is usually general, though local anesthesia with sedation may also be opted for.

Can be Combined With:
For enhanced results, chin implants can be combined with facial implants, face-lifts, cheek lifts, neck lifts, or rhinoplasty.
