It may be hard to believe but the chin is a key feature of the face. The chin affects the facial profile and the overall harmony of the facial features. A well-defined jawline can increase one’s attractiveness. On the other hand, a weak or deformed chin can reduce one’s attractiveness. It can make one feel self-conscious about their appearance, leading to a lack of confidence and low self-esteem.
At Arra Aesthetics, we offer chin augmentation to help you get a contoured and defined jawline safely and effectively.
Chin augmentation (also known as genioplasty) is a cosmetic procedure that corrects the appearance of a weak chin and gives it a contoured and defined structure. This can be done either by moving the jawbone forward or by using facial implants. At Arra Aesthetics, chin augmentation is usually performed using facial implants.
Dr. Vasant Gholave of Arra Aesthetics has listed down the criteria for a good candidate for chin augmentation. You are an ideal candidate for chin augmentation if:
You are an overall healthy adult with completed facial growth.
You are a non-smoker or are willing to quit smoking for the period prescribed by the surgeon.
You dislike the appearance of your chin.
You have realistic expectations from the procedure of chin augmentation.
If you fit the above criteria, you are a good candidate for chin augmentation or genioplasty. Book an appointment with Dr. Vasant Gholave to learn more about the procedure.
During the consultation for chin augmentation, Dr. Vasant Gholave, Director of Arra Aesthetics, will explain the full procedure to the patient. He will discuss with the patient the possible risks and the expected results of the procedure. Dr. Gholave will inquire about the patient’s full medical history to ensure that the procedure will be completed safely and without any complications.
Dr. Vasant Gholave’s priority is the safety and satisfaction of the patient. So he will carefully listen to the patient’s wishes and desires from the surgery and answer any questions the patient may have. He will ensure that the patient will undergo the procedure with realistic expectations and a clear mind.
The following are the steps for chin augmentation or genioplasty with facial implants:
Step 1: The surgeon administers local anesthesia or general anesthesia to ensure that the patient does not feel any pain or discomfort during the procedure.
Step 2: Then the surgeon makes incisions either under the chin or the inside of the mouth. This ensures that any scarring will not be visible.
Step 3: The surgeon places the facial implants in pockets they create in the tissue.
Step 4: Finally, the surgeon closes the incisions with stitches or sutures.
In certain cases, rhinoplasty may be performed alongside chin augmentation to create a balance between the facial features.
Some pain and swelling are generally expected after chin augmentation. The surgeon will prescribe medications and to reduce the pain and swelling. The patient will be expected to wear compression bandages for some time to support the newly set contour.
The patient should get routine follow-ups with the surgeon after the procedure. The surgeon will carefully analyze the healing and the visible results. The surgeon will make sure that there are no complications. The stitches will be removed based on the surgeon’s analysis.
There are a few rare risks to chin augmentation like:
Infection
Visible scarring
Bleeding
The implant shifting positions
Unsatisfactory results
At Arra Aesthetics, we take the utmost care to ensure that there are no complications during or after the procedure and that the results are to the patient’s satisfaction.
