Why might I consider chin implants?
Chin enhancement with facial implants can create a stronger jawline and improve the appearance of a weak chin. This procedure involves placing an implant made out of materials like silicone into the chin area to add volume and definition to the chin and jawline. Dr. Rachel Walker finds that both men and women can benefit from chin augmentation using implants and find the results to be dramatic and long-lasting.
Are chin implants risky?
Like any surgical procedure, there are potential risks and complications to consider before undergoing chin enhancement. These may include infection, implant displacement, and nerve damage. It’s important to discuss these potential risks with Dr. Rachel Walker during the consultation and follow post-operative care instructions closely to minimize the chance of complications.
What can I expect after chin enhancement surgery?
Recovery from chin enhancement typically takes about a few weeks, during which swelling and discomfort can be expected. Results from the procedure are immediate but may continue to improve as swelling subsides. Because the implant is placed in the chin, the results are long-lasting as long as patients maintain their original weight. Gaining weight may cause a change in the jawline, especially if submental fullness (double chin) occurs. This can make the profile of the chin change with time.
