Chin Augmentation
In Singapore
Chin Augmentation, known medically as Mentoplasty, is a surgical procedure done to reshape the chin, using a solid silicone implant.
The procedure is carried out to enhance a weak or recessed chin and is often done in conjunction with Rhinoplasty (nose reshaping). Chin augmentation will give you a more pronounced chin and a sharper neckline.
The Chin Augmentation Surgery Procedure
Local anesthesia is generally used for chin augmentation. Various types of implants and insertion methods can be used for chin implant surgery. The incision can be made in the crease beneath the chin or inside the mouth. The implant is inserted into a midline pocket created for this purpose. The surgery lasts for about 1 hour.
Chin Augmentation Recovery
Chin Implant Surgery
After surgery, patients will experience some swelling and bruising, but this is usually short-lived. Full recovery takes about 3 to 4 weeks, but patients generally return to work after 1 week.
