What Is Chin Augmentation?
Chin augmentation is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance facial balance and correct a recessed or underdeveloped chin. Many individuals experience a profile imbalance due to their lower face and jaw not developing properly, which can often be a hereditary issue. This procedure not only improves the overall profile but also tightens and enhances sagging or fatty tissues in the neck area. At North Mississippi Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Associates, we offer both chin implants and sliding genioplasty options to address these concerns and provide a more harmonious and proportionate facial appearance. To learn more or to find out if you're a candidate for chin augmentation, contact any of our locations in Tupelo, Corinth, or Southaven, MS.
How Is Chin Augmentation Performed?
Chin augmentation can be performed using various techniques, depending on the patient's needs. The most common method is the placement of a chin implant, which is a minor procedure typically done in the office under IV sedation. The procedure usually takes about 30 minutes and involves either an incision inside the mouth or under the chin in the natural skin crease. Silicone chin implants, known as anatomic implants, come in a variety of shapes and sizes to tailor the enhancement to the patient's unique facial structure. In more severe cases, a sliding genioplasty may be recommended, where the jawbone is repositioned through an incision inside the mouth. This procedure can move the chin forward or backward, offering a more dramatic change. Regardless of the technique used, the recovery time is relatively short, with swelling, bruising, and temporary numbness typically resolving within 1 – 2 weeks.
What Are the Benefits of Chin Augmentation?
Chin augmentation offers numerous advantages for individuals seeking to enhance their facial harmony and achieve a more balanced appearance. Benefits include:
- Improves the overall balance between the chin and other facial features
- Corrects a recessed or underdeveloped chin for a stronger profile
- Enhances the jawline for a more defined and youthful appearance
- Tightens and improves sagging or fatty tissues in the neck area
- Offers customizable options with implants or sliding genioplasty for tailored results
- Boosts self-confidence with a more aesthetically pleasing facial structure
North Mississippi Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Associates Reviews
Everyone at the facility was very nice and professional.. I would recommend Dr. Williams to anyone that needs an oral procedure..
It was a great experience!!
Everyone was kind and very caring. Best dental procedure ever. Would highly recommend them
Had great visit
I was referred here by my dentist Dr. Shutt. I was confident this was the best clinic for implants when Dr. Shutt said Dr. Bauer is who took care of her mom! That’s all I needed to know. The staff are extremely courteous and explain everything about how to prepare and what to expect. The price I will pay for getting implants will be worth it to be able to not be in pain and eat a T-Bone steak!I wish I could give them 10 Stars!!!!!!!!
