 

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.

beneath the skin and muscle to create a more defined facial structure.

	* Define an underdeveloped chin
	* Improve facial profile proportions
	* Enhance jaw and neck definition

CHIN IMPLANT MATERIALS AND OPTIONS

 	* MEDPOR:

PROCEDURE DETAILS

The chin implant procedure is typically performed on an outpatient
basis under sedation or general anesthesia. Incisions are
strategically made inside the lower lip or under the chin to minimize
visible scarring.

supportive neck band. Initial discomfort is managed with oral
medication, and most patients experience gradual reduction in swelling
and tenderness within one to two months.

NON-SURGICAL ALTERNATIVE

For patients seeking minimal intervention, Dr. Lynch also offers
non-surgical chin strengthening using dermal fillers to sculpt and
define the lower facial profile.
