Chin Implant

Chin implant surgery is a form of chin augmentation that uses a medical-grade implant to strengthen the appearance of a weak or receding chin. It is designed to enhance facial profile and improve facial aesthetics by making the chin more symmetrical with the nose, cheeks, and jaw.

People usually get chin implants to enhance a less prominent chin that “disappears” into the neck. Here are other issues that a chin implant can help address:

CHIN IMPLANT PROCEDURE

As a facial plastic surgeon with an extensive background in head and neck surgery, Dr. Sedgh is highly familiar with the anatomy of the human face and with the many advanced surgical techniques used in both cosmetic and reconstructive procedures. This makes him uniquely equipped to safely deliver the patient’s desired chin shape and projection while maintaining a natural yet enhanced look.

Dr. Sedgh’s comprehensive knowledge of facial anatomy and advanced surgical techniques make him uniquely qualified to perform chin augmentation with exceptional care and precision. During the surgery, Dr. Sedgh inserts a biocompatible implant through a small incision, either inside the mouth (intraoral approach) or just below the chin (submental approach). He then carefully secures the implant to achieve a balanced, natural result that enhances chin projection and facial symmetry.

The procedure generally takes about one to two hours and can be performed under local anesthesia, IV sedation, or general anesthesia, depending on your preferences and health history.

Procedure Highlights:

  • Carefully chosen implant for personalized results
  • Precise placement of the implant for optimal contour
  • Small, well-concealed incision for minimal scarring

RECOVERY

Chin implant surgery is a quick and simple outpatient procedure. The recovery period is fairly quick, with downtime lasting no more than seven days. Minimal bruising and swelling can be expected during the first few weeks, but patients should be able to return to work in one week.

As always, strict adherence to the prescribed aftercare instructions is strongly advised to help ensure a healthy and comfortable recovery. Dr. Sedgh takes pride in providing his patients with highly attentive, specially individualized care. He believes that this is key to a successful recovery, which is why he strives to remain in close contact with patients throughout the entire postoperative process.

In addition to making himself available for all questions and concerns, he will also personally follow your healing progress through regularly scheduled follow-up meetings starting from the first post-surgery day up to the last post-op appointment.
