Chin Implant Richmond, VA | Synergy Face + Body by Travis Shaw M.D.

Understanding Chin Implant Procedures

A chin implant can dramatically improve chin size and jaw position. Synergy Face + Body utilizes a specialized Medpor® material that closely mimics bone composition, providing a natural and long-lasting enhancement to facial structure.

Causes of Weak Chin Conditions

A weak chin typically occurs due to a poorly developed lower jaw bone or a recessed jaw position. This condition can create facial imbalance and potentially lead to secondary issues like:

• Pronounced overbite
• Jaw pain
• Severe headaches
• Potential sleep apnea

Medpor® Implant Advantages

Dr. Shaw's preferred Medpor® implant offers significant benefits compared to traditional silicone options. The material integrates naturally with bone structure, ensuring:

• Seamless bone integration
• Reduced risk of movement
• Natural-feeling result
• Balanced jawline appearance

Procedure Details

Chin implant procedures typically last approximately one hour. Patients can expect some initial post-operative effects, including temporary soreness and swelling. Recovery time is generally 3-5 days, after which normal activities can be resumed.

Treatment Candidacy

Ideal candidates for chin implant surgery include individuals experiencing facial asymmetry, weak chin profile, or those seeking improved facial proportion and confidence.

Potential Treatment Outcomes

Patients may experience enhanced facial balance, improved profile aesthetics, and increased self-confidence following the procedure.
