Having a side profile that lacks a defined jawline and chin can have an impact on your selfesteem. A weak or recessed chin can be distressing to an individual causing self esteemproblems which affect one’s personal life. There is a way to achieve a sharper more definedface and a more prominent chin and jawline. To have confidence in the appearance of your chin,you may want to consider a chin and
jawline implant as a solution.
A chin implant also known as genioplasty, refers to the improvement of the contours on the face, specifically the chin, neck, and jawline. Usually, this surgical procedure involves the placement of a chin implant around the patient’s existing chin bone to adjust the size and shape of the chin. This similar procedure is done with the jawline. Implants that are placed underneath the skin typically are made of silicone or polyethylene.
After any surgery, it is very common to have swelling during the healing process. Depending on your body’s reaction to surgery, staying in the hospital can vary by how many days.
The procedure will be followed by detailed doctors instruction and care information. Sometimes this will include water and food that are safe to consume on the regime that you are assigned. Painkillers will also be offered as a form of pain management after your procedure. When taking any prescribed medication, special care should be taken to follow instructions and warning signs on painkillers. Another pain management solution that can be used is a cold compress. This may also reduce swelling on your chin and jaw.
Smoking and doing strenuous activities is not good for the healing process. Another thing to consider when you are healing from your jaw and chin implants is your sleeping patterns. To minimise swelling it is important to keep your head elevated and to sleep facing up.
The most important part of any cosmetic procedure is to ensure that your surgery is being performed by a skilled and experienced surgeon. Cosmetic surgery should always be performedby a board certified surgeon. The results of great cosmetic surgery can be a permanent solution to an aesthetic problem. Always consult with your doctor on the risks that you may face during genioplasty.
