What concern did this chin augmentation patient have before surgery?
The patient, a 30-year-old male, was concerned about his underprojected chin, which he felt lacked definition and negatively affected the overall balance and harmony of his facial profile.
What surgical technique was used for this chin augmentation?
An incision was created underneath the chin, and a chin implant was placed through that incision to increase the projection of the chin. The largest implant option available was used to achieve the most pronounced and visible improvement.
What were the results of this chin augmentation procedure?
Following the procedure, the patient's chin became noticeably more pronounced and defined. This improvement enhanced the overall balance of his facial profile and created a stronger, more proportional appearance between his chin, jawline, and other facial features.
Is a chin implant a permanent solution for chin augmentation?
Yes. A surgically placed chin implant is a permanent solution that provides lasting improvement to the chin's projection and definition. Unlike chin filler, which is temporary, a chin implant does not require periodic maintenance treatments to sustain its results.
Who is a good candidate for surgical chin augmentation?
Patients who have a weak, recessed, or underprojected chin and want a permanent solution to improve their facial balance are good candidates. Those who have already tried chin filler and want a more lasting result may also benefit from transitioning to a surgical implant.
