Sometimes, the doctors will recommend a Chin Augmentation with a solid silicone gel facial implant. The solid silicone gel facial implant is put in place through an incision under the chin within the most prominent skin crease. Implants come in different sizes in order to customize the projection of your chin. A Chin Augmentation does not alter the position of your teeth.
We perform the surgery in Atlanta at our State Licensed, Certified Surgi-Center. We put our patients under local anesthesia with IV sedation or under general anesthesia. You will spend about 30–60 minutes in our recovery room before your discharge home.
The procedure causes minimal discomfort, but you will require some TLC at home. You are usually able to return to your normal daily activities in one week and will be ready for post-op pictures in 6 weeks.
