Chin implants are a popular cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the size, shape, and projection of your chin. Augmenting the lower face with a chin implant can create better balance in your facial features, especially in profile. This subtle change can define your jawline and improve facial symmetry.
Whether you have concerns about a recessed chin or want better harmony between your chin and nose, implants can offer a long-lasting solution. Call our office today to schedule a consultation with board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Sanjay Lalla and discuss whether chin implants in New Jersey are the right cosmetic option for you.
A chin implant is a small, solid, biocompatible device surgically placed over the chin bone to improve its shape and projection. Most chin implants are made of silicone. The procedure helps strengthen the appearance of the lower face, define the jawline, and create a more balanced profile.
You can combine chin augmentation with other procedures, such as rhinoplasty or neck liposuction, which helps achieve overall facial harmony. During your consultation with Dr. Lalla in New Jersey, he evaluates your anatomy and tailors the chin implant to fit your bone structure, helping you achieve natural-looking results and a long-lasting solution for a recessed or underdefined chin.
Chin implants are ideal for adults in good overall health who want to improve their facial balance by correcting a recessed or underdefined chin. You must be fully grown and over 18 to ensure natural-looking results not affected by further development.
You may want to improve your profile or achieve a better proportion between your chin and nose. Good candidates have a strong underlying jawbone structure to support optimal results. It is also important to have realistic expectations about what the procedure can achieve.
Chin implants are not suitable for people with significant bite misalignment or jaw irregularities. Instead, jaw surgery may be required first to correct the problems. A chin implant consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon in New Jersey is essential to evaluate your facial structure, discuss your goals, and determine whether chin augmentation is the right choice for you.
You can receive chin implant surgery in New Jersey as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia with sedation. In some cases, you may receive general anesthesia. We will talk about the type of anesthesia during your consultation. Once the area is numb, and you are comfortably sedated, a small incision is made either underneath the chin or inside the lower lip.
Through this incision, a pocket is created in front of the jawbone, where the implant is carefully positioned and secured. Implants are selected to match your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. After it is properly placed, the incision is closed with sutures.
The entire procedure takes about one hour. We monitor you for a short time after surgery, and you can return home the same day. Most people resume light activities within a few days. The area will swell slightly after placement of the implant, so you will not see visible results until the swelling begins to subside.
After your chin implant surgery in New Jersey, you can expect some bruising and discomfort for a couple of days, but these effects typically improve quickly. We will give you personalized recovery instructions based on your procedure and whether it was combined with any additional treatments.
You may experience some temporary numbness in the chin area, which will improve as the healing progresses. It is important to follow your postoperative care instructions to reduce the risk of complications, such as infections. This includes keeping the area clean and attending your scheduled follow-up visits. As the area heals properly, the results can be long-lasting and enhance your facial harmony and self-confidence.
Chin implants can help improve your facial symmetry and profile with a permanent, natural-looking solution. Although the change may be subtle, it can have a positive impact on your overall appearance.
