What is a Chin Implant?
Chin implants, or chin augmentation, is a surgical procedure designed to improve the size, shape, and projection of the chin. Carefully crafted to fit each patient's unique anatomy, these implants enhance overall facial balance. Chin implants are particularly beneficial for individuals with a recessed or underdeveloped chin, helping create a more defined and attractive jawline.
Benefits of Chin Augmentation
Chin surgery offers several permanent advantages over non-surgical options:
- Improved chin projection
- Harmonious facial features
- Permanent aesthetic results
- Reduced "double chin" appearance
- Defined facial profile
- Corrected facial asymmetry
- More youthful facial contours
Chin Implant Procedure in Hunt Valley
The facial implant procedure involves creating a small incision either inside the mouth or underneath the chin. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Hahn carefully positions the implant to enhance chin shape and projection. The procedure typically takes one to two hours and is performed under general or local anesthesia with sedation.
Ideal Candidates for Chin Implants
Ideal candidates are individuals dissatisfied with their chin's size or shape, seeking a more balanced profile. During consultation, Dr. Hahn evaluates facial aesthetics, proportions, skin type, and overall health to develop a personalized treatment plan.
Recovery and Downtime
Recovery from a chin implant is typically straightforward. Most patients resume normal activities within a week. Initial symptoms like swelling and bruising subside within a few days. Patients are advised to keep their head elevated and avoid strenuous activities for two weeks.
Consultation and Cost
The cost of a chin implant varies based on surgical complexity and additional procedures. During your consultation, Dr. Hahn will provide a detailed cost breakdown and discuss potential financing options.
