Chin Augmentation

Chin implants augmentation cosmetic surgery may be recommended for anybody looking to improve the shape of their chin and overall facial features. The cosmetic surgery can be performed on both men and women by an experienced and capable facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon. The surgery involves facial implants for chin advancement and enlargement.

Your surgeon will discuss all aspects of the procedure during the initial consultation to help you make the right decision. Facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Eric Yavrouian provides chin implants augmentation surgery to patients in Glendale, Pasadena, Burbank, Greater Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, CA, and surrounding locations.

Benefits of Chin Augmentation

Chin implants augmentation surgery is designed to provide balance and make the chin appear more proportionate to the rest of the face. Weak or recessive chins can make the entire face appear fleshy, especially around the neck area. Weak chins tend to accentuate the nose, even when it is of a normal size. It gets worse if you have a large nose to begin with.

Chin enhancement surgery can help you regain sustainable harmony among your facial features. Nothing will appear fleshy or look out of place. Chin implant surgery improves the overall balance of the facial structure. Sometimes, chin augmentation and rhinoplasty surgeries are combined to create an ideal balance between the nose and chin.

Ideal Candidacy for Chin Augmentation

Suitable candidates for this cosmetic surgery procedure will have one or more of the following characteristics:

• Recessed chin
• Pointed or squared chin
• Prominent nose
• Fleshy neck

Chin augmentation may be recommended as an additional procedure for patients that are seeking cheek implants, rhinoplasty, or lip augmentation surgeries. Your cosmetic surgeon may recommend the procedure if you are seeking help with a poorly defined jaw or a large nose.

What Does the Procedure Involve?

Plastic surgeons usually recommend chin implants to enlarge a recessive chin. This is done to supplement the bone below the teeth, in front of the jaw. Chin implants are placed under the skin and offer a more permanent boost to the definition and strength of the chin. You can enjoy an attractive and proportionate natural-appearing chin with this procedure.

Chin augmentation procedures are usually performed as outpatient and can last from anywhere between 45 minutes and two hours. The duration depends on the complexity of a particular case and the number of additional procedures combined. Your surgeon will decide whether to administer local or general anesthesia.

An incision will be made on the inside of the mouth or below the chin. This will be between the gum and lower lip to insert the implant. Intra-mouth incisions have a higher risk of infection. However, it prevents external scarring. Your surgeon will position the implant in front of the jawbone.

They will then check to ensure the implant is properly balanced. In some cases, the surgeon may need to modify or adjust it to achieve the desired look. Sutures are used to keep the chin implant in place.

Lip Enhancement 

Many women dream of having sensual lips for that beautiful pout. Fuller lips can help enhance your facial beauty. Fortunately, you can achieve all your aesthetic goals in a sustainable manner with lip augmentation cosmetic surgery. There are also options for women that don’t want to undergo a surgery. Your facial plastic surgeon may recommend a treatment consisting of dermal fillers for plumper and more defined lips.

However, dermal fillers provide results for a short period of time while lip augmentation surgeries are permanent. Facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Eric Yavrouian provides surgical lip enhancement plastic surgery to patients in Glendale, Pasadena, Burbank, Greater Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, CA, and surrounding communities.

Ideal Candidate

Lip enhancement works well for anybody from any age group. However, the surgery is recommended for people that have naturally thin lips or suffer from loss of volume because of aging and other related factors. Candidates should be in good health before getting a lip augmentation surgery to ensure quick recovery. You should also have realistic expectations to begin with.

Augmentation with Lip Implant

You can achieve permanent lip augmentation with an implant. There are a wide variety of synthetic lip implants available. Your cosmetic surgeon will recommend one that is most appropriate to your goals and needs. Lip implants are designed to improve the shape and volume of lips. The surgery can be completed in about an hour when performed by an experienced facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon.

Your surgeon will make tiny incisions on your lips, usually at the mouth corners. This allows the incisions to remain discreet. A thin tunnel will be carved out through these incisions to make space for the implant. Once the implants are inserted the surgeon will thread it properly through the lip. If required, the implant will be trimmed precisely and the incisions closed.

Fat Transfer Lip Augmentation

Another way of getting your desired lip shape and volume is by getting a lip augmentation with fat transfer surgery. This is usually recommended for patients where implants are not suitable. The procedure involves removing excess fat from another area on the patient and filling the lips with that fat. You will get soft and natural looking results with this technique.

The procedure is less invasive as opposed to implants and the biggest advantage is that your body is less likely to develop an allergen reaction because the fat tissue belongs to you. Your surgeon will remove excess fat from another donor site, such as the abdomen or thigh. This fat will then be injected using a blunt needle into the lips. The injection will leave very tiny prick marks on your lips.

The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia as opposed to general anesthesia. However, in some cases, surgeons administer light general anesthesia. An added advantage of this procedure is that excess fat is removed from another site on your body, making you look thinner.

Create a Stronger Jaw Line with Injections or Implants

When you look at your face, do you notice a chin that looks like it is set way behind compared to the upper jaw? If yes, you have what is called a ‘retruded’ chin which is a medical term for a recessive or weak chin. In simple words, it means the thrust of your chin is not sufficient to make your jawline appear strong.  

This condition is easy to correct using chin implant or jawline contouring surgery. Facial plastic and reconstruction surgeon Dr. Eric Yavrouian provides chin and jawline enhancement surgery to patients in Glendale, Pasadena, Burbank, Greater Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, CA, and surrounding locations. 

Plastic Surgery for Recessed Chin 

A receding chin mars the facial balance, especially in the lower portion of the face. Mouth exercises are generally not very successful in correcting a weak chin and jawline because the bones and soft tissue of the area cannot be greatly altered by exercising them. Different cosmetic surgery procedures are possible to deal effectively with this condition: 

Chin augmentation surgery or chin implant plastic surgery is the best solution. When a greater extent of augmentation is required, your surgeon may choose to perform a more elaborate procedure such as a sliding chin genioplasty. 

Chin implants are the easiest way to improve the look of your chin and lower jawline. The cosmetic surgeon makes a tiny cut through the mouth and inserts the biocompatible implant, positions it on the lower jaw, and sutures the cut.  

Double chin reduction procedure is used when there are deposits of submental fat. This may be done using Kybella injections or liposuction to create a stronger jawline. 

Sliding genioplasty is an invasive form of surgery and is reserved for extreme cases of recessed chins. The procedure is elaborate and recovery will take longer than the other methods. 

Why Undergo Chin Augmentation Surgery? 

Chin implant surgery helps to: 

• Improve how your face looks from the front and the side 

• Bring harmony between the upper and lower jaws 
• Lend greater sense of vertical balance to the face 
• Improve the look of your smile 

Customized Chin Augmentation 

When you consult a facial plastic surgeon, you should discuss the possibility of customizing the procedure to give you the exact look you desire. Good surgeons always consider the needs of patients along with the practical reality of their existing anatomical features. 

Most surgeons take multiple scans to assess your existing features and discuss the choices you have. Once the decision is made, they either use a pre-made prosthesis that matches your preference, or order a customized chin implant to fit you.  

Chin augmentation surgery is the simplest way to give you a strong jawline. In some cases, it may be necessary to use jaw lengthening procedures, or perform a neck lift or chin liposuction or a combination of these procedures to give you the exact appearance you desire.

Customized Care and Attention 

For the success of any plastic surgery procedure, it is important for the patient to receive individualized care. The patient should ensure that they receive proper care and attention from the surgeon and their team. Much of this will be apparent within the first visit to the surgeon’s office. 

The patient should look closely at the following: 

• Are the plastic surgeon and other surgical staff warm and friendly? 

• Will I receive guidance that will help me prepare appropriately for the risks and challenges associated with brow lift surgery? 
• Are the costs of the procedure informed in a transparent way? Is the estimate all-inclusive or are there any hidden expenses? 
• Can I talk to the surgeon on every occasion that I visit the office for my brow lift procedure?

Desirable Qualities 

In choosing a plastic surgeon for a forehead lift surgery, a patient should seek the following qualities in the surgeon: 

• Easy to talk to as well as warm and caring  
• Motivated to inform the patient thoroughly about the procedure  

• Passionate about changing someone’s life through plastic surgery  
• Offering personalized care and attention to each patient  
• Ability to understand the cosmetic needs, objectives, concerns, and desires of the patient  
• Possess an in-depth knowledge of the eye anatomy as well as facial structure 
• Having a keen aesthetic sense with an understanding of proportion, balance, and form  

• Utilizing advanced techniques to ensure that the brow lift surgery is minimally invasive and leaves as little scarring as possible

Emphasis on Personalization and Innovation  

Each person has unique facial features. Therefore, brow lift surgery produces the best outcomes when the surgeon customizes the approach to meet the unique physical and cosmetic requirements of the patient. Patients experience the highest levels of satisfaction when the surgery is tailored to create more complete and natural outcomes.  

Plastic surgeons who place an emphasis on continually updating their expertise and knowledge through educating themselves on the most advanced surgical techniques and cutting-edge technologies usually deliver excellent outcomes for their patients.  

The patient derives the most benefits from the use of advanced procedures which are usually more effective and are an improvement over previous techniques. Using the latest solutions makes the procedure less invasive and painful with lower risks and short healing periods. 

Surgical Facility 

In considering a surgical procedure, the background and certification of the surgeon are crucial factors. But the surgical facility is an equally important consideration.  

Ideally, plastic surgery should be undertaken at a hospital or a surgical center that is accredited by the American Associations for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Centers. The operating room must maintain the best possible hygiene and safety protocols.

Why Choose a Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon?

These surgeons have an in-depth understanding of the facial anatomy and specialize in all forms of surgical procedures for the face.  

A board certified facial plastic surgeon will typically follow the highest quality standards and best medical practices, adopt the latest surgical techniques and technologies, and pursue on-going education to update their knowledge and skills.  

Personal Rapport  

There should be a strong relationship based on trust and open communication between the surgeon and patient to obtain most desirable outcomes in a cosmetic surgery procedure such as forehead lift. The surgeon should be warm, compassionate, and willing to engage closely with the patient.  

The surgeon should encourage the patient to share any concerns or doubts that they may have on any aspect of their forehead lift procedure. Surgeons who create excellent results for their patients are experts in combining their strong surgical capabilities with equally effective communication skills.  

This combination offers the patient safe and successful surgical outcomes. When considering a surgeon for their forehead lift plastic surgery, the patient can ask themselves the following questions: 

• When spending time with this plastic surgeon, do I feel comfortable? 
• Am I sure that this cosmetic surgeon will recommend procedures that are suitable and safe for me? 
• Do I feel comfortable asking questions or expressing concerns to this surgeon? 
• Will I be able to freely disclose my complete medical history and lifestyle habits to this surgeon? (This aspect is crucial for the patient’s safety).

Choosing the Right Surgeon – Checklist 

• What are your qualifications and how many years of surgical experience do you have? 
• How many plastic surgeries have you undertaken to date? 
• Is it possible to see some forehead lift before and after images of your previous work?
