Facial Implants
Facial implants are specially formed solid, biocompatible materials designed to enhance or augment the physical structure and balance of your face. At Ideal Face and Body, we specialize in chin implants. These are often placed in conjunction with a rhinoplasty, chin liposculpture, and/or buccal lipectomy procedures.
Chin Implants at Ideal Face & Body: Achieve Facial Harmony and Confidence
A well-defined chin plays a crucial role in balancing facial features and enhancing overall appearance. At Ideal Face & Body in Beverly Hills, Dr. Justin Yovino specializes in chin augmentation using advanced techniques to help patients achieve their aesthetic goals with natural-looking results.
What Are Chin Implants?
Chin implants, also known as mentoplasty, involve the placement of a biocompatible implant to enhance the size and projection of the chin. This procedure is particularly beneficial for individuals with a recessed or underdeveloped chin, aiming to improve facial proportions and profile. The implants are typically made from materials like solid silicone, which are well-tolerated by the body and provide a natural feel.
Benefits of Chin Augmentation
Enhanced Facial Balance: A proportionate chin can harmonize facial features, making the nose and other structures appear more balanced.
Improved Profile: Augmenting the chin can create a more defined jawline and neck contour, enhancing the side profile.
Boosted Confidence: Achieving desired facial aesthetics can lead to increased self-esteem and confidence.
Permanent Results: Unlike temporary fillers, chin implants offer long-lasting enhancement.
The Procedure
Chin implant surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. A small incision is made either inside the mouth or under the chin, through which the implant is inserted and positioned over the chin bone. The facial implant procedure usually takes about an hour, and patients can return home the same day.
Recovery and Aftercare
Initial Healing: Swelling and discomfort are common in the first few days. Pain is usually manageable with prescribed medications.
Activity Restrictions: Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities for at least a week.
Follow-Up: Regular check-ups ensure proper healing and implant positioning.
Most patients return to normal activities within a week, with full results becoming apparent as swelling subsides over several weeks.
Ideal Candidates
Individuals considering chin augmentation should:
Be in good overall health.
Have realistic expectations about the outcomes.
Desire improvement in chin projection and facial balance.
Not have active infections or untreated dental issues.
Combining Procedures for Enhanced Results
Chin implants are often combined with other facial procedures to achieve comprehensive enhancement:
Rhinoplasty: Balancing the nose and chin can significantly improve facial harmony.
Neck Liposuction: Removing excess fat under the chin can further define the jawline.
Buccal Fat Removal: Slimming the cheeks can accentuate the chin and jaw area.
Dr. Yovino tailors each treatment plan to the patient’s unique anatomy and aesthetic goals.
