May increase chin projection or alter contour depending on surgical technique and individual anatomy. Outcomes vary between individuals.
May modify the relationship between the chin and surrounding facial structures. The degree of visible change varies.
Chin implants are intended to provide structural augmentation; however, longevity and outcomes vary depending on individual factors.
A consultation will help determine whether this procedure aligns with your goals and health.
Considerations may include:
• A desire to enhance a recessed or less prominent chin
• Improving facial balance between the chin and other features
• Refining the outcome of previous aesthetic procedures
During consultation, we’ll discuss your medical history, realistic expectations, potential benefits, and possible risks.
Your practitioner will assess your facial anatomy and medical history, and discuss possible surgical approaches and implant options where appropriate.
Detailed pre-operative guidance will be provided, including information on anaesthesia, medications, and recovery.
Performed using established surgical techniques tailored to individual anatomy. Outcomes vary between individuals
Swelling and tightness are common following surgery. Recovery experiences vary between individuals.
Many patients resume light daily activities within one to two weeks, depending on individual healing and clinical advice. Strenuous activity is typically delayed for several weeks.
Incisions are typically placed inside the mouth or beneath the chin. Scarring is unavoidable and varies between individuals.
Chin implants are intended to provide structural augmentation; however, outcomes vary. Ageing, trauma, or other factors may influence appearance over time.
If you have concerns about your outcome, a review consultation can be arranged. Healing takes time, and further assessment may be required before discussing additional options.
Preparation may include medication review, smoking cessation, and general health assessment. Specific instructions will be provided during consultation.
Chin augmentation is a surgical procedure and, as such, carries inherent risks and potential complications. These may include bleeding, bruising, swelling, infection, delayed wound healing, and adverse reactions to local or general anaesthesia. Altered sensation of the chin, lower lip, or surrounding areas, including numbness or tingling, may occur and is usually temporary, though in rare cases may be prolonged or permanent. Scarring and changes in skin pigmentation can occur. Implant-related risks may include movement, asymmetry, visibility, palpability, or the need for removal or replacement. Aesthetic outcomes may differ from expectations and can include asymmetry or dissatisfaction with size or shape. Less commonly, more serious complications such as injury to underlying nerves, bone, or surrounding structures may occur. Individual risk varies based on personal health factors, anatomy, and the type of augmentation performed. These risks will be discussed in detail during your consultation to support informed decision-making.
