Chin implant surgery is a common way to enhance the shape and size of the chin. This procedure is performed as an outpatient surgery. You may receive general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. During the brief procedure, Dr. Chiaramonte makes an incision near the chin. This may be inside the mouth or just under the chin where there is a natural crease. He then creates a pocket for the implant beneath the muscle but over the chin bone. The implant will form around the bone, keeping it stable. Incisions are closed with stitches. If you receive an external incision, a small bandage will also be applied. The entire procedure is usually done in an hour or less.
