Chin Augmentation Procedure
Cosmetic chin augmentation surgery to change the shape of the chin, cheek, or jaw may be performed. This procedure is typically done to enhance certain facial features, or to bring a certain aspect of the face into proportion with the rest of the face. For the reshaping of the chin, check, or jaw, the surgeon may insert an implant into the area to redefine its appearance. A chin augmentation is a surgical procedure to reshape or enhance the size of the chin to restore facial harmony and chin projection. Facial implants can alter your face to enhance an area or bring it into balance. When only a modest degree of chin augmentation is required to provide contour, the surgeon may use a prosthetic chin implant (artificial -- made of silicone, teflon, or dacron), or may use bone only. The chin augmentation incision is made either inside the mouth or externally under the chin. A pocket is created in front of the chin bone and under the muscles, and an appropriately sized prosthesis or chin implant is inserted. The chin augmentation incision is closed and a pressure dressing is applied. The resulting external scar is barely visible.
