Chin Augmentation
SILICONE CHIN IMPLANTA shaped implant that brings a recessed chin into balance with the profile.
CONCERN ADDRESSED
A small or recessed chin that leaves the profile, and often the nose, out of balance.
PROCEDURE
A shaped silicone implant is placed over the chin bone through a small incision. It is often combined with rhinoplasty for overall profile balance.
ANAESTHESIA & DURATION
Local anaesthesia · typically about 1 hour
RECOVERY
Swelling peaks at 2–3 days and is mostly gone by 2–3 weeks. Soft diet in the first days; normal diet by week 2.
FINAL RESULT
New contour clearly visible by about 6 weeks; the implant settles fully over 3–6 months.
Post-op photos were taken during early recovery, before swelling has settled. The final result develops over the months that follow.
