Chin Augmentation

Depending on the complexity of the procedure, chin augmentation operations take around 30 minutes to 1 1/2 hours.The sutures are usually removed in five to seven days.

Besides a physical boost to your appearance, your self-confidence will be rejuvenated.

An ideal candidate would have a chin that is relatively too small or receeding. They should be free of any pre-existing medical conditions and active diseases. The shape and size of his/her chin would also be draining self-confidence.

Immediately after the procedure, you will be hospitalized for a couple of days, so that your surgeon and nurses can monitor your recovery. You may be asked to wear a supporting brace during sleep to ensure that the tissue and implants are stable in the best possible position. You can expect to experience some bruising, but this is just normal. It should, however, disappear after a couple of weeks. Your surgeon will schedule you to have the stitches removed about a week after the surgery and make an appointment to see you a couple of months after to ensure that your chin has healed well and that you are happy with the final result. Full recovery takes on average about 2 months. Nicotine may encourage scarrings, so it is advised that during the complete recovery period to either quit smoking or seriously cut down.

Go out of your way to find the right surgeon who has had extensive experience in the field of chin augmentation and will understand exactly your desired objective.
