Chin Implant in Chevy Chase, MD
Understanding Chin Augmentation
Chin augmentation addresses facial proportions for patients with small or receding chins. A strategically placed chin implant can dramatically improve facial harmony, potentially minimizing the appearance of a prominent nose and creating a more balanced profile.
Procedure Overview
Dr. Miles performs chin augmentation using a precise surgical technique involving a solid silicone implant. The procedure is typically completed as an outpatient intervention under local anesthesia with twilight sedation.
Surgical Technique
- Implant placement through a small incision underneath the chin
- Uses solid silicone implant for natural-looking enhancement
- Often combined with rhinoplasty or neck lift procedures
Recovery and Expectations
Patients can expect initial recovery with minimal discomfort. A pressure dressing and supportive head band are typically used post-procedure. Swelling and tenderness gradually subside within one to two months.
Important Considerations
- Procedure is considered cosmetic and not covered by insurance
- Patient responsible for full procedure payment
- Individual consultation required to assess specific candidacy
Potential Benefits
Chin implants can significantly improve facial profile, enhance facial balance, and boost overall aesthetic proportions. The procedure offers a permanent solution for individuals seeking subtle yet impactful facial refinement.
