Chin augmentation, also known as genioplasty, is recommended for individuals seeking to improve facial balance and harmony. It is especially suited for those with a weak or recessed chin, which can affect the overall symmetry of the face.
Chin augmentation delivers a more balanced facial profile, enhancing the chin's projection and creating better harmony between facial features. This can result in a more confident and attractive appearance.
Contraindications for chin augmentation may involve allergies to implant materials, certain medical conditions that affect bone healing, or complications associated with implant surgery. During the preoperative consultation, your surgeon will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine your eligibility.
Potential complications include infection, implant shifting or malposition, temporary numbness in the chin area, and an unnatural appearance. Your surgeon will discuss these potential risks, as well as the measures taken to mitigate them, during your consultation.
