Why Undergo Lip and Chin Procedures?

1. Lip Enhancement for Fuller, Desirable Lips

For many, full, luscious lips have become an iconic symbol of beauty, thanks to high-profile celebrities and influencers setting trends.

Dr. Sedgh approaches lip augmentation with meticulous precision, using techniques that complement the individual’s facial structure and deliver authentic, beautifully contoured lips.

 

 

 

2. Lip Reduction for Balanced Facial Symmetry

In some cases, overly prominent lips can detract from facial balance. Dr. Sedgh provides lip reduction procedures for patients seeking a subtler look that harmonizes with their other features. Lip reduction can be especially beneficial for individuals whose lips naturally overshadow other features, ensuring an outcome that restores facial symmetry without compromising on aesthetics.

3. Chin Augmentation for Enhanced Facial Contours

Chin augmentation is often sought to bring balance to the facial profile. A strong, well-defined chin can enhance the appearance of the nose, highlight the cheekbones, and lend a more defined jawline. Whether addressing a naturally recessed chin, improving chin shape, or reducing a double chin, Dr. Sedgh’s chin augmentation procedures help patients achieve a profile that is both balanced and aesthetically pleasing.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF LIP & CHIN PROCEDURES AVAILABLE?

For patients with lip and chin issues, Dr. Jacob Sedgh offers various procedures that can help enhance these particular parts of the face. These procedures include the following:

This non-surgical procedure involves enlarging one’s lips through fillers, which augments their fullness and changes how the lips look. Plastic surgeons can inject multiple types of dermal fillers in a patient’s lips or around their mouth. However, products with substances that are similar to hyaluronic acid are the most commonly used fillers for lip augmentation nowadays. Surgeons can also plump up the patient’s lips using other methods such as fat injections and implants.

Plastic surgeons typically perform lip reduction surgery to reduce the volume and size of the lips. In this procedure, the patient’s entire lip area is reshaped by removing skin tissue from the lower or upper lips. Surgeons can also do this on both lips. Individuals who desire to improve their facial appearance are typically considered as candidates for lip reduction surgery. They can either have naturally large lips or lips that became larger than intended due to a previous augmentation procedure.

Chin augmentation can reshape or improve the size of one’s chin. To perform this procedure, surgeons can either place an implant on the patient’s chin or shift or reshape chin bones. Surgeons often perform chin augmentation during rhinoplasty or facial liposuction. They can also perform the procedure during bite correction surgery.

In this particular procedure, surgeons reshape, widen, or push the patient’s chin forward using chin implants. They can perform any of the above through surgery or injection. In surgical augmentation, surgeons will place a plastic material into the patient’s chin and then attach it to their chin bones. They can also improve chin appearance by injecting fillers through needles in non-surgical augmentation.

Male chin implant surgery redefines a male patient’s jawline and is one of the greatest secrets to a handsome face. This procedure also adds prominence for a stronger profile and facial symmetry that is naturally masculine.

More often than not, women want to have a more elegant and refined look when it comes to the appearance of their chin. Female chin implant surgery enhances chin shape and appearance in such a way that preserves or improves natural facial femininity. Patients can expect a smaller, more appealing, and more feminine chin from this procedure.

WHAT SHOULD YOU EXPECT FROM LIP & CHIN PROCEDURES?

Once they decide to undergo a particular lip or chin procedure, individuals will need to go through the following stages:

The Initial Consultation

At this stage, Dr. Sedgh will listen carefully to the patient while they discuss their surgical goals and expectations. 

He will also perform the following steps:

Moreover, overseas patients can arrange an initial consultation with Dr. Sedgh through Skype video conferencing. His team also offers assistance for travel logistics if patients need to travel for a specific procedure. These logistics include aftercare and concierge services.

The Actual Lip & Chin Procedure

Dr. Sedgh uses different approaches for each lip and chin procedure that he offers. For chin augmentation, he may utilize facial implants or dermal fillers or perform chin bone advancement on patients. For non-surgical chin augmentation, the doctor will inject a dermal filler into these areas in small increments. He can also execute surgical augmentation through bone advancement or sliding genioplasty or osseous genioplasty. Both approaches help achieve the patient’s desired prominence by moving the chin bone to an ideal position.
For chin implants, Dr. Sedgh will perform the procedure under local anesthesia, IV sedation, or general anesthesia. He will carefully place the implant through an incision inside the patient’s lower lip or below the chin. The doctor can also use screws or sutures to attach the implant to the chin bone. These steps apply to both female and male chin implants. As for lip augmentation, Dr. Sedgh can administer dermal fillers, lip implants, and fat transfer on patients.
A dermal filler can be injected in small increments for natural and controlled results, while a small amount of body fat from a donor site helps create soft, smooth, and full lips. The doctor can also place natural or synthetic implants through small incisions on the corners of the patient’s mouth to augment their lips. Lastly, the doctor performs lip reduction by creating a horizontal incision in the pink inner portion of the patient’s lips. He will then decrease overall lip volume through excess fat and tissue removal.

The Recovery Period for Lip & Chin Surgeries

Recovery periods for lip and chin surgeries vary between procedures. Most chin augmentation patients can typically return to work and proceed with nearly all other daily activities within a week following the surgery since they experience relatively minimal downtime. Lip augmentation also has little downtime, with patients coming back to work and other activities within a week after the procedure. As for lip reduction patients, the procedure has a much shorter time frame for recovery. Thus, they are expected to take an entire week off work. 

Dr. Sedgh will closely monitor patient progress for several days after any of these procedures as part of his commitment to his patients. He will also evaluate their post-operative progress and results personally through a few follow-up consultations. The doctor can conduct these appointments in the doctor’s office or via video conferencing.
