Chin Implant Procedure Guide
A chin implant surgery is a relatively quick procedure. It is done under general anesthesia in a hospital setting. The procedure only requires an hour, and patients are able to go home the same day with post-care recovery instructions from our surgeons. The procedure involves making a small incision and placing and securing an implant directly over the chin bone. These implants are most commonly made with silicone since it is a solid and biocompatible material. The implant helps patients improve the definition of their chin and have a more pronounced jawline.
Post-Care & Recovery Timelines for Chin Implants
Our team provides our patients with extensive post-care instructions and is always here to answer questions at any point during their procedure timeline. It is common to experience moderate pain and discomfort after surgery. Patients are often recommended pain medication to help alleviate this discomfort. We also set up an immediate follow-up appointment. Typically, surgical patients will need to take 1-2 weeks off from work. Bruising and swelling will fade over the course of those first two weeks. Between six weeks and three months, patients will see their final results as the swelling completely subsides.
What Other Facial Treatments Can Help Patients Address The Chin & Neck Area?
It is extremely common for patients to have concerns about their chin and neck area. Loose skin or excess fat can make your chin seemingly disappear. We provide a variety of procedures including both surgical and non-surgical treatments.
One of the most common treatments for the neck and chin area is CoolSculpting. CoolSculpting helps freeze fat cells in targeted areas. While CoolSculpting can help with fat cells, treatments like Morpheus8, Quantum RF, or FaceTite can help with skin tightening around the jawline. Additionally, injectable treatments, including Kybella are specifically engineered to help define the jawline.
Part of why we offer so many different treatments is so we can help our patients create tailored treatment plans that match their goals/needs. To get started, simply contact us to set up a consultation.
