Chin Implant Surgery in Denver for Refined Definition and Facial Balance

When you have a small or recessed chin, it can have a major impact on your facial appearance and balance as well as your self-confidence. In addition to affecting the proportions of your lower face, an undersized chin can make your profile appear unbalanced. Fortunately, you don’t have to live with the way your chin currently looks. If you’re interested in improving the appearance of your chin and adding definition to your neckline and jawline, a chin implant may be the right choice.

What Are Chin Implants?

Chin implant surgery, also known as chin augmentation, is a cosmetic surgical procedure used to enhance the chin and add contour to the lower face and jawline. Chin implants are often performed to improve the balance and overall harmony of the face.

How Do Chin Implants Work?

Typically, chin implants are made of silicone, which is a flexible material that can be customized to whatever shape and size are needed for the patient. The chin implant is inserted through a small incision in the crease beneath your chin. The implant is placed directly onto the bone of the chin. During the surgery, Dr. Weber carefully molds the chin implant to the bone to ensure that the results look natural and properly balanced.

Benefits of Chin Implants

If you aren’t satisfied with the appearance of your chin, a chin implant could offer the following benefits:

Enhanced, natural-looking chin
Improved definition around the chin, jawline and lower face
More proportionate facial features
More balanced profile appearance
Increased self-confidence
Long-lasting results

What Should I Expect During the Surgery?

Before you undergo chin augmentation surgery, the first step will be to schedule a consultation with Dr. Weber. During this meeting, Dr. Weber will help you decide if a chin implant is truly the best option for you. If you choose to move forward, he will consider your goals for the procedure and put together a personalized treatment plan. You and Dr. Weber will choose the right size and style of implant to achieve your goals. There are dozens of size and style combinations available to meet every individual’s specific desires. Chin augmentation is generally performed as an outpatient procedure.

To begin the surgery, you will be administered either general anesthesia or local anesthesia with oral sedation. Next, Dr. Weber will make a small incision in the natural crease beneath the chin. He will then carefully place your chin implant along the chin bone and adjust it into the proper position. Finally, he will close the incision with stitches and bandage your chin to complete the procedure. Usually, the surgery only takes about 30 minutes to an hour. Dr. Weber and his team may want to monitor you for an hour or two after the procedure, but you’ll be able to return home on the same day.

How Long Is the Recovery Time?

Most patients need to rest for approximately five to seven days after undergoing chin implant surgery. You will likely experience some swelling, bruising and tenderness and Dr. Weber will provide you with detailed instructions to ensure that you heal properly. You should also avoid strenuous physical exercise for at least one to two weeks.

Enjoy the Benefits of In-Office Surgery

In-office surgery is a safer, more convenient and cost-effective option for many patients and Dr. Weber performs around 90% of facial procedures in his office surgical suite. He finds that this approach enhances communication, saves time and reduces the risks of anesthesia-related complications.

Using the in-office setting, Dr. Weber can perform surgery while the patient is in an extended “beauty sleep”, numbed through oral sedation and local anesthesia. By using these alternatives to general anesthesia, Dr. Weber is able to uphold his core mission of keeping patients safe and relaxed while delivering elegant, natural-looking cosmetic changes.

Am I a Candidate for a Chin Implant?

If you’d like to enhance the size and definition of your chin, you could be a candidate for a chin implant. Ideal candidates for chin augmentation should meet these requirements:

Be in good physical health
Have a desire to enhance the size and/or contours of your chin
Have realistic expectations
Have no active infections
Have a reasonable amount of skin elasticity

What Is the Cost of Chin Implant Surgery?

Chin implant procedures start at $6,000, with individual factors to consider that may influence the cost. This procedure is performed in-office at Weber Facial Plastic Surgery, without the need for an IV or general anesthesia. The final cost of services will be discussed during your consultation with Dr. Stephen Weber. If necessary, our office can assist you in applying for financing.

How Long Will It Take to See Results From a Chin Implant?

You should be able to see the effects of your chin implant surgery right away. However, the final results may not be visible until the swelling subsides, which could take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. Once your new chin is fully revealed, it should remain for many years. In most cases, implants last for a lifetime.
