Chin extension surgery involves the modification of the underlying structure of a face in order to enhance the facial balance. The procedure is often called genioplasty or the mentoplasty. Surgeons can extend the chin or reduce it.
Surgical chin augmentation
A surgical procedure to increase the chin is called a surgical chin augmentation. The procedure can be done using both traditional and modern techniques. Modern surgical techniques allow surgeons to achieve a more natural-looking result while preserving the patient's original appearance. Patients may experience soreness, normal swelling, and bruising after surgery. However, patients can generally return to normal activities within five to seven days. Following surgery, patients are advised to follow all post-operative instructions. Patients should not exercise or swim for at least the first week after surgery.
Chin augmentation surgery is performed through a small incision made under or inside the chin. After that, the surgeon will insert the implant. The surgeon will then insert the implant. Depending on the preferences of the patient, the surgeon might use a silicone or real bone implant. The surgeon will also use sutures to close the incision. This procedure will usually leave only a tiny scar.
There is no set recovery time for chin surgery. It varies from one patient to the next. The chin will heal fully in one to three weeks. Side effects and minor side effects can take between two to four weeks. Within the first few weeks of surgery, patients will be prescribed pain medication that can be used to reduce discomfort and antibiotics to prevent infection. Patients may resume normal activities two weeks later, but patients should avoid heavy lifting or large facial movements.
Non-surgical chin augmentation
Non-surgical chin augmentation is a great option for people who want to improve the shape of their chin. This treatment uses dermal filler to create a more balanced look. The procedure is painless and quick. It usually takes 15-30 minutes. Most patients can return home within a few hours of the procedure.
The recovery time for non-surgical chin augmentation can be fast and painless. Patients will experience some mild bruising or swelling. These symptoms usually subside within two to three days. Patients should avoid touching their chins for 48-hours after the procedure and are advised to keep their heads slightly elevated during recovery.
Non-surgical Chin Augmentation is a very popular procedure. It can achieve results in as little time as 15 to 24months. Patients can sometimes receive treatment the same day. This procedure is an excellent choice if you want to improve your chin and other facial concerns. The cost-effectiveness and benefits of non-surgical, chin augmentation are not the only advantages.
