Chin Implant Surgery (Enhance Chin Shape For A More Contoured Look)

· Those interested in chin augmentation procedure in Bangkok, Thailand.
· Those with an under-projected or recessed chin.

Chin Implant Surgery is one of the important procedures that could help to achieve a more defined facial appearance by improving the facial proportions. An enhanced facial proportion can contribute greatly to help with self-confidence.

At our affiliated hospital, this treatment is done by inserting a chin implant. The implant corrects and gives a permanent solution to the recessed chin, a condition in which the 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 a better facial appearance; for instance, a defined face shape results in a younger and slimmer look.

The treatment works by placing an artificial implant into the pocket created within the chin to enhance the shape as desired. It can be done in simple steps and no hospitalization is required.

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
