The Truth about Chin Implants

February 28, 2019

Although chin implants may be among some of the lesser-known cosmetic surgeries, they provide excellent ways to reshape the profile of the face. In fact, this surgery is gaining in popularity around the world as many are realizing just what an impact a strong chin and jawline can have on their looks. However, because this surgery is not as well known as other treatments are, many myths swirl around it. Learning the truth will help patients make informed decisions.

Chin Implants Are Safe

Some people are concerned about the synthetic materials placed beneath the skin during this surgery. It is true that an implant is specially sized and designed for an individual’s needs. However, the materials used for this are completely safe even over the long-term. The materials are biologically compatible with one’s body and will not be rejected.

Recovery Is Usually Fast

Some people are kept from this surgery because they fear the lengthy recovery period. They may not have the time that they believe they need to take off work. However, recovery from a chin implant surgery is usually quite fast. This is done on an outpatient basis, letting patients recover at home. Over a weekend, most of the swelling should go down, and individuals will be able to get back to their usual activities. The incision is small and hidden, and discomfort is mild and easily controlled.

Results Look Completely Natural

The thought of material being added to the chin may fill some with concern that the results will look unnatural. However, when patients choose a skilled surgeon, he will be able to balance the facial features perfectly. Upon recovery, the incision should be nearly unnoticeable, and the shape of the face will look perfectly proportionate.

Chin Implants Are for Men and Women

Because strong chins and jawlines are usually associated with men, some may think that chin implants are only for males. However, both men and women can benefit from stronger chins and proper balance in the lower face.
