CHIN AUGMENTATION

Indications

Chin augmentation, also known as genioplasty, is recommended for individuals seeking to improve facial balance and harmony. It is especially suited for those with a weak or recessed chin, which can affect the overall symmetry of the face.

WHAT DOES THE PROCEDURE ACHIEVE?

Chin augmentation delivers a more balanced facial profile, enhancing the chin's projection and creating better harmony between facial features. This can result in a more confident and attractive appearance.

CONTRA-INDICATIONS

Contraindications for chin augmentation may involve allergies to implant materials, certain medical conditions that affect bone healing, or complications associated with implant surgery. During the preoperative consultation, your surgeon will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine your eligibility.

PROCEDURE

Chin augmentation typically involves two main approaches: implant placement and sliding genioplasty. Implants are often made from biocompatible materials and are carefully selected to achieve the desired chin projection. Sliding genioplasty entails reshaping the existing bone to create a more prominent chin

COMPLICATIONS

Potential complications include infection, implant shifting or malposition, temporary numbness in the chin area, and an unnatural appearance. Your surgeon will discuss these potential risks, as well as the measures taken to mitigate them, during your consultation.
