Chin Augmentation
Chin Augmentation Dallas | Chin Implant Dallas
A Chin Augmentation can help reshape or enhance the size of your chin to create greater visual balance between the chin and the nose. By inserting an implant or by moving or reshaping bones creates a more rounded appearance or adds a touch of prominence to your chin.
To complete the sense of balance, it is common to have other complementary procedures such as rhinoplasty or a facial liposuction performed at the same time with a Chin Augmentation. If your dental bite needs any correction, Dr. Jejurikar can perform this procedure at the same time.
Dr. Jejurikar will be happy to discuss your expectations about looking and feeling better with a chin augmentation. Keep in mind that the desired result is improvement, not perfection.
Am I a candidate for Chin Augmentation?
The best candidates for chin augmentation are people with weak or receding chins (microgenia) but who have a normal dental bite and are in otherwise good health.
The Procedure
Chin Augmentation surgery typically lasts for 1 to 3 hours and is usually performed under general anesthesia.
During the procedure, an incision is made, either inside the mouth or outside under the chin. A pocket is created in front of the chin bone and under the muscles and the implant is placed inside. Dr. Jejurikar will then either reshape the bone, add an insert, and/or relocate fatty tissue depending on your treatment plan.
Recovery
You will be able to resume light activity the day of surgery but you will feel some discomfort and soreness for up to three months. You should be able to return to work and your usual activities within seven to ten days, and it may take up to 6 for any swelling to completely subside.
Dr. Jejurikar will be happy to consult with you personally to address any of your questions or concerns. To schedule an appointment with Dr. Jejurikar or for more information about our services, please contact our office directly at 214.827.2814.
