CHIN IMPLANT IN LOS ALTOS, CA

WHAT IS CHIN AUGMENTATION?

Genioplasty, commonly known as chin augmentation, is a surgical
procedure designed to reshape the jawline and provide a stronger
profile. This technique can correct a receding chin and enhance
overall facial symmetry.

BENEFITS OF CHIN AUGMENTATION

Chin implants can significantly transform facial appearance by
creating balance between facial features. A weak chin can negatively
impact the perception of other facial characteristics, particularly
the nose. By improving chin projection, patients can achieve a more
harmonious facial profile.

KEY BENEFITS INCLUDE:

 	* Enhanced facial symmetry
	* Improved jawline definition
	* Balanced profile view
	* Potential correction of facial proportions

CHIN AUGMENTATION PROCEDURE

The Mittelman Extended Chin Implant procedure typically takes 30-60
minutes and is performed under local or general anesthesia. A small
incision is made either inside the mouth or beneath the chin, creating
a precise pocket for implant placement.

PROCEDURE STEPS:

 	* Consultation to determine appropriate implant size and shape
	* Surgical incision placement
	* Implant insertion into prepared tissue pocket
	* Incision closure with potential chin taping

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Patients can expect some initial swelling and potential movement
restrictions. Typically, patients should plan for approximately one
week of recovery before returning to work and avoid strenuous
activities for six weeks to ensure proper healing.

RECOVERY GUIDELINES:

 	* Pain management with prescribed medication
	* Potential dietary modifications
	* Follow-up suture removal (if non-dissolvable)
	* Gradual return to normal activities

IDEAL CANDIDATES

The best candidates for chin augmentation are individuals with
realistic expectations, good overall health, and a desire to enhance
their facial profile. A comprehensive consultation with Dr. Harry
Mittelman will determine individual suitability.
