Services 》Chin Augmentation
Case 2
Case 3
Case 4
There are five important facial projections: forehead, two zygoma, nose and chin. Teeth look protruded with retracted chin (above 1, 3, 4 cases). Face shape become square when one is getting old because of the jowl formation (above second case). Chin augmentation with silicone implantation can increase chin projection or elongate face in aged patients. The wound was made in the mouth.
Chin augmentation can be performed at the same time as agumentation rhinoplasty. Face porfile improves a lot after both surgery, as cases showed below.
Fillers, such as hyaluronic acid or Radiesse, is another option to augment chin, but the effect is temporary.
Radiesse is a harder material than hyaluronic acid, so that it is a better filler to be injected on chin.

Q: I would like to ask that my lip will be everted after chin augmentation? My nasolabial folds will be deeper after surgery? Can I redo the operation if I am not satisfied? Is the risk high?
A: Your lip will not be everted after chin augmentation. Nasolabial folds will not be deeper. The risk of surgery is low. If you are not satisfied, you can change the chin implant..
Q: I heard that you can see natural chin when you look at it from the front, but there is an obvious object when you look from the bottom after chin augmentation. Moreover, the prosthesis itself wears out long time later, and the bone under the prosthesis will also be absorbed. Is it true?
A: There are some surgical tricks that can avoid the silicone implant to be seen. Silicone will not wear out , but the jawbone under the silicone implant may be absorbed to some extent due to the compression from implant. But that depression cannot be visible from outside.
Q: I am still correcting my teeth (with braces), can I receive chin implant now? Would it be better to wait till the braces to be removed? Is the wound in the mouth?
A: It is recommended to receive chin implant surgery after removal of the braces. The wound is in the mouth.
Q: May I ask if my chin is retracted and I have double chins? Will I still have double chins after chin augmentation?
A: The problem of double chin is often caused by fat accumulation (need liposuction), double chin will be improved after chin augmentation.
