Chin Implants

If you're unhappy with the way your chin sits in relation to your other facial features, a chisel implant procedure could be the solution. Chin implants are an excellent way to improve the overall balance of your face and boost your self-confidence. Dr. Rosenberg can perform a variety of chin implant procedures for his patients. While each patient's situation is unique, he's always prepared to give patients the best results possible.

This Chin implant surgery involves making a small incision on the chin, which is covered by a bandage. The surgeon then inserts a chin implant, which stretches over the bone beneath. Once inserted, the implant is attached to the surrounding tissues with sutures. The procedure takes only a few minutes and the twilight sedation wears off quickly, allowing you to return to normal activity the same day.

Postoperative care depends on the severity of the surgery. Most patients return home the same day, but some patients may experience bruising and swelling for a week or more. Patients should expect some swelling and bruising to the neck and lower face, which should resolve within 7-10 days. The surgeon may also prescribe a soft diet for a few days after surgery to minimize the possibility of infection. Ultimately, chin implants are a popular option for reshaping the face and neck.

After surgery, a bandage will be placed around the chin and head to support it while it heals. Patients should expect a little bruising and swelling after the procedure, but they can return to normal activity after a few days. Although the bruising and swelling are temporary, they should be avoided for at least two to three months to ensure the best possible results. You may also experience some numbness in the chin, which is completely normal and will go away on its own.

The chin implant procedure is typically performed in conjunction with rhinoplasty. A chin implant can improve the proportion of a patient's face, resulting in a more balanced face and neck. A chin implant can help eliminate the appearance of jowls and the misleading "flab" around the jaw area. Dr. Preminger performs chin implants in her Park Avenue office.

Another option for improving a chin is a nonsurgical chisel implant. This involves injecting a filler around the existing chin bone. While these methods can increase chin fullness, they're limited in shelf life. They usually last only a year. In addition, patients often need to have them repeated every few months. However, chin implants offer permanent results. Chin augmentation can be customized to give a person the desired appearance.

There are two types of chisel implants: acellular dermis and silicone chin implants. The former is the most common option. It's flexible and soft. It doesn't stick to surrounding tissues, which is beneficial for your aesthetic goals. The latter is very difficult to remove once the implant has become a permanent fixture. The other option involves a surgical procedure called genioplasty. This surgery advances the chin bone and creates a prominent chin.
