Chin Aesthetics

Chin surgeries are performed in order to give the chin area a better look, as well as placing implants to restore fat or bone loss due to an accident or any kind of trauma. There are several procedures for chin aesthetics, including double chin surgery, mentoplasty, chin reduction, and chin implants.

As there are several different procedures, the methods differ too. It can be easier to split chin surgeries into two. While the utmost aim is to give the chin a refined and attractive look, surgeons handle the treatment process by either reducing the size of chin bone and liposuction or defining the chin with injections and implants. For example, if you have a double chin, it’s easier to smooth your chin with simple injections. But if your chin bone is too pointed, you might need to go through surgery to reduce the size.

Fillings: It is applied when the chin is small and short of creating a proportioned look on the face. Body tissues and excess fat can be used during this option, widely used in double chin treatments.
Implants: If there is no excess fat around the body that can be used for fillings or if there is bone insufficiency, estheticians choose to use small implants to give the chin a better definition.
Liposuction: If the chin looks pointed or long due to excess fat, liposuction procedures can be applied. This technique can be combined with neck liposuction as well.
Bone Shaping: If the pointed look on the chin occurs because of the chin bone, the size of it can be reduced with a simple procedure.
As there are different procedures that can be applied to a chin, their pain levels vary too. If you are going through a simple injection, there’s even no need for local anesthesia. But chin surgeries are generally performed under local or general anesthesia as they are invasive.

If there will only be injections, you can always return to your old look with simple procedures. But before getting a chin surgery, it’s better to think twice if you really want it, as returning is possible but requires another surgery.

After the operation, your surgeon will inform you about the recovery process. If it's only injection or liposuction, there is no need for a recovery time. But if you are having surgery, you need to use prescribed medications regularly that reduce the chance of getting an infection. You shouldn’t sleep face down for the first couple of weeks as it might cause distortion around your newly shaped chin. If you are a smoker, you should stop smoking at least a week prior to your appointment, and you shouldn’t be smoking for another week after the procedure as it slows down the healing process.
