A chin that is too large or too small can throw off the proportions of the entire face and create a less than optimal profile.
Careful, deliberate adjustments to your chin can indeed transform the look of your entire face and profile. During your comprehensive consultation, Dr. Stark will consider the shape and prominence of your chin along with all your facial features in order to create a chin shape which will feel precisely appropriate for your face.
During your Philadelphia chin augmentation, Dr. Stark increases the size and fine-tunes the shape your chin using silicone implants. Chin implants correct or mask skeletal deficiencies to create a more balanced look to the face and create a more harmonious profile. Chin augmentation is performed under general anesthesia and lasts one to two hours. During chin augmentation:
For patients unsure if they are ready to undergo chin augmentation, fillers can also be used to increase the size and projection of the chin. This way, they can “preview” the result with a temporary solution, allowing them to live with the results and decide.
For those who want to improve the contour and shape of the chin without undergoing surgery, Dr. Stark can employ the technique of fat grafting. Fat grafting begins with using liposuction to harvest fat from other areas of the body, such as hips or abdomen, after which it is purified and made ready for use. The fat is then artistically injected into your chin to create a more balanced, sculpted look. The results of fat grafting are not temporary and can last a lifetime.
Fat grafting is performed using only local anesthesia and has a very short downtime. The procedure is very safe and has a low risk of complications, making it ideal for many patients. The enhancements we can provide with fat grafting are not as extensive as those available with chin implants, but it may be perfect for you if you have limited time or are not yet ready for chin augmentation with implants.
After your surgery, bandages will be applied. Some pain, bruising, and swelling is normal and should subside within a few days. Dr. Stark will prescribe medication as necessary to treat pain.
You will need to follow specialized instructions for oral hygiene, eating, and drinking during the recovery period to minimize the risk of infection. However, you should be able to return to your normal daily routine in a week or less.
Dr. Stark will ensure you feel comfortable the minute you walk into StarkMD Plastic Surgery and Aesthetic Center. His friendly staff, comfortable exam rooms and warm bedside manner will immediately put you at ease.
