Lip and Chin Plastic Surgery
WHY ARE LIP & CHIN PROCEDURES NEEDED?
Patients have different reasons for undergoing lip and chin surgeries. When it comes to lip enhancements, women have always regarded luscious lips as a very desirable feature for them to have. However, this fact has never been more accurate than it is nowadays due to numerous celebrities and notable influencers who have jumped on this particular trend. This trend is why more people are undergoing plastic surgery to achieve that desirable full pout.
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF LIP & CHIN PROCEDURES AVAILABLE?
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.
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.

The Actual Lip & Chin Procedure
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.
