Chin Implant

Boldly Defined, Perfectly You

A receding or underdefined chin can dramatically affect the balance and overall symmetry of the face. This can lead to a weaker jawline, less defined facial structure, and an overall lack of harmony between facial features.

A chin implant offers a long-lasting solution to enhance your chin’s projection, creating a more balanced and proportionate appearance. At ARCmd in Weston, chin implants are customized to meet your aesthetic goals, helping you achieve a more structured and confident look.

WHAT IS A

Chin Implant?

A chin implant is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the size, shape, and projection of the chin. It involves placing a biocompatible implant, typically made of silicone, over the existing chin bone through a small incision. This minimally invasive surgery results in a more defined jawline and chin. Chin implants are ideal for those looking to improve facial harmony without undergoing major reconstructive procedures.

Advantages

Enhances facial balance and harmony.
Improves side profile by augmenting a recessed chin.
Long-lasting results (many implants last a lifetime).
Quick recovery compared to other facial surgeries.
Can be combined with other cosmetic procedures, such as rhinoplasty.
Minimally invasive with minimal scarring.
Boosts self-confidence and facial aesthetics.

Target Concerns

Chin implants can effectively address a number of facial concerns:

Receding chin. Corrects a chin that does not project far enough, which can make other facial features appear more prominent.
Weak jawline. Creates a stronger, more defined jawline for individuals who lack jawline definition.
Lack of facial balance. Brings harmony to facial features by balancing the lower face with the rest of the facial structure.
Sagging skin or double chin. When combined with other procedures, a chin implant can help improve sagging or a double chin by adding volume and definition to the lower face.

What to Expect During Treatment

The chin implant procedure typically lasts between 30 minutes to an hour and is performed under local or general anesthesia. A small incision is made either inside the mouth or under the chin. The implant is then placed in a pocket created by the surgeon on top of the chin bone. Once the implant is securely in place, the incision is closed with dissolvable stitches.

How Long Do Results Last?

Chin implants offer permanent results as they are designed to last a lifetime. However, like all surgeries, aging and gravity may still affect the results over time. Following the procedure, aftercare tips include:

Avoid strenuous activities for 1 to 2 weeks.
Elevate the head to minimize swelling.
Use cold compresses to reduce bruising and discomfort.
Stick to a soft food diet for the first few days if the incision was made inside the mouth.

WHO ARE THE IDEAL

Candidates?

The ideal candidate for a chin implant is anyone in good health who is dissatisfied with their chin’s appearance, whether due to a receding chin or lack of facial harmony. Candidates should have realistic expectations and a desire for enhanced facial definition. Consulting with a surgeon at ARCmd will determine if this procedure is right for you.
