Chin surgery is a type of facial surgery that involves modifying the underlying structure to enhance the balance between the facial features. Chin augmentation is also known as genioplasty and mentoplasty. Surgeons are able to extend the chin as well as reduce or increase it.
Surgical chin augmentation
Surgical chin augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the chin region. Combining innovative and traditional techniques can be used to accomplish this procedure. Modern surgical techniques make it possible to achieve a more natural looking result without compromising the patient's original appearance. After surgery, some patients may experience mild soreness and swelling. However, patients can generally return to normal activities within five to seven days. Patients should be careful following the post-operative instructions. For the first few weeks following surgery patients should refrain from engaging in strenuous activities like swimming or exercising.
Chin augmentation involves making a small incision under the chin or inside the mouth. A surgeon will then insert the implant. The surgeon will insert the implant depending on the patient's preferences. The incision will be closed by the surgeon using sutures. The procedure usually leaves only a small scar.
Patients will experience a different recovery time depending on their chin augmentation. However, the average time it takes for the chin to heal fully is between one and three week. The minor side effects will usually disappear within two to four additional weeks. During the first few days following surgery, patients will be prescribed pain medication to manage their discomfort. Antibiotics may be prescribed to prevent infection. After two weeks, patients may resume regular activities, but they should avoid big facial movements and heavy lifting.
Non-surgical chin augmentation
A great option for those who want to improve their chin shape is non-surgical. This treatment uses dermal filler to create a more balanced look. The procedure takes approximately fifteen to thirty minute and is very safe. Patients can typically go home right after the procedure without any downtime.

Patients are advised not to touch their chins within 48 hours of the procedure. During recovery, it is recommended that patients rest with their head slightly raised.
Non-surgical Chin Augmentation is a very popular procedure. It can achieve results in as little time as 15 to 24months. In some cases, patients can even get the same-day treatment.
