Chin Augmentation
In Singapore

Facial Harmony: The chin is a defining feature of the face. A well-proportioned chin brings balance to the face, ensuring that it complements other facial features such as the nose and forehead. This harmony can enhance the overall attractiveness and symmetry of the face.

Enhanced Profile: One of the primary reasons individuals seek chin augmentation is to achieve a more defined profile. Whether the chin is recessed, protruding, or asymmetrical, chin augmentation can correct these issues, leading to a more refined and pronounced jawline and profile.

Increased Confidence: Physical appearance can significantly impact self-esteem. Achieving the desired chin shape and projection can boost an individual’s confidence, allowing them to feel more comfortable and positive about their appearance. This increased confidence can translate into various aspects of life, from social interactions to professional opportunities.

Correction of Birth Defects or Trauma: For some, chin augmentation is not just about aesthetics but about correcting birth defects or deformities caused by trauma. This procedure can restore the chin’s natural shape, improving the appearance.

Anti-Aging Benefits: As individuals age, the chin can recede or become less defined due to bone resorption and skin sagging. Chin augmentation can counteract these signs of aging, providing a more youthful appearance.

Consultation Process

Procedure: During this session, the surgeon evaluates the patient’s facial anatomy, discusses their aesthetic goals, and recommends the most suitable chin augmentation method. Imaging techniques, such as X-rays or 3D imaging, may be used to assess the chin’s structure and plan the surgery.

Outcome: The consultation ensures that both the surgeon and the patient have a clear understanding of the procedure, expected results, and potential risks.

Pre-operative Preparations

Procedure: Patients may be advised to stop certain medications, supplements, and avoid smoking. They might undergo blood tests or other preliminary examinations to ensure they are fit for surgery. Instructions regarding eating, drinking, and medications will be provided for the day of the surgery.

Outcome: These preparations minimize surgical risks and promote faster healing.

Surgical Procedure Steps

Procedure: For genioplasty, an incision is made inside the mouth to access and reposition the chin bone. For chin implants, an incision is made either inside the mouth or under the chin to place the implant. In the case of fillers, injections are administered at specific points on the chin.

Outcome: The chin is reshaped or augmented to achieve the desired appearance.

Recovery and Post-operative Care

Procedure: After the surgery, patients might experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which usually subsides within a week. Pain relief medications and antibiotics may be prescribed. Patients are advised to keep their head elevated, avoid strenuous activities, and follow a soft diet for a few days. Regular follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor the healing process.

Outcome: Proper post-operative care ensures that the chin heals correctly, and any potential complications are addressed promptly.
