Chin Augmentation is a surgery that is performed on the lower jawline and chin area to help improve facial proportions. An enhanced facial proportion can contribute greatly to help with self-confidence. This procedure is done by inserting chin implants. An implant corrects and gives a permanent solution to recessed chin, a condition in which chin is shaped slightly too inwards to the neck and there is no obvious proportion of the chin. An obvious chin shape could make up better facial appearance; for instance, a defined face shape allows young and slimmer look.

Chin augmentation works by insertion of an artificial replacement for body part called Prothese to enhance the recessed chin or improve the appearance of the chin as desired. At our affiliated hospital, revision chin augmentation, chin implant removal, and chin lift are also available. Chin lift is performed to remove the excess and tighten the saggy skin around the chin area. The procedure requires you to stay in the hospital for 1 night.

1. A small incision will be made (either under the chin or inside the mouth).
2. A pocket will be created for the insertion of an implant.
3. The implant will be placed inside this pocket.
4. The incision will be closed using sutures.

Q1: Will this treatment change my smile?
A1: Your smile may be altered, but it is usually temporary and resolves with time. Some also reported having to experience a tight or pressured sensation during the early recovery period.

Q2: Are the results of this chin augmentation procedure permanent?
A2: The results of this procedure are permanent, which means no future visit is required. Despite its permanence, it can also be removed if such is desired.

Q3: Will it need replacement in years to come?
A3: Unlike breast implants, chin implants are made of solid, therefore there is nothing to leak out from them. In most cases, people only need 1 chin implant and it will last forever.

Q4: Will it hurt?
A4: It does not usually associate pain, rather a sore feeling. You will be given anesthesia to ensure a smooth and comfortable procedure, nonetheless.

Q5: Is it possible for the implants to move?
A5: No, chin implants rarely move, especially when done by skilled doctors at our affiliated hospital.
