When it comes to facial aesthetics, the chin plays a more pivotal role than most people realize. A well-defined chin provides balance to the face, while a weak or receding chin can dramatically alter your appearance. At Desired Beauty, located in the Beverly Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles, board-certified cosmetic surgeon Dr. Farzin Kerendian and his highly skilled team offer cutting-edge chin augmentation procedures to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
What Is Chin Augmentation?
Chin augmentation is a surgical technique designed to enhance or reshape the chin and jawline, delivering a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing facial contour. At Desired Beauty, Dr. Kerendian can employ a variety of augmentation methods, from dermal fillers for non-surgical approaches to chin implant surgery for a more permanent solution.
Why Consider Chin Augmentation?
The advantages of chin augmentation go beyond mere aesthetic enhancement. While it does provide a stronger jawline and improved facial symmetry, chin augmentation can also have several other benefits:
- Enhanced Self-confidence: A well-proportioned face often boosts self-esteem.
- Better Facial Balance: A strong chin balances other facial features, often enhancing your overall appearance.
- Improved Profile: Many find that chin augmentation helps them achieve a more distinguished side profile.
Are You a Candidate for Chin Augmentation?
Determining your eligibility for chin augmentation involves a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Kerendian. The evaluation includes a review of your medical history, discussion of your aesthetic aspirations, and a physical examination of your chin and jawline.
You may be an ideal candidate if you’re in good overall health and are looking to address issues like a receding chin, a weak chin, or facial asymmetry. Additionally, your skin elasticity and bone structure may also be assessed to provide a more tailored approach to your treatment.
How Can Chin Augmentation Be Accomplished?
Chin augmentation at Desired Beauty can be achieved through two primary methods:
- Dermal Fillers: These are injectables that are carefully administered beneath the skin to enhance chin volume temporarily. While not a permanent solution, fillers can be maintained through periodic follow-up sessions.
- Chin Implants: A more permanent approach involves the surgical insertion of an implant beneath the skin of the chin. You’ll receive local anesthesia to minimize any discomfort during the procedure. The incision is usually made under the chin, and the implant is carefully placed before the incision is closed and bandaged.
Post-Procedure Expectations
After the procedure, you may experience mild swelling or bruising, which usually subsides in a short period. Patients are advised to follow aftercare guidelines closely, including taking prescribed medications and avoiding strenuous activities until clearance is given by Dr. Kerendian. While dermal fillers offer temporary results requiring periodic maintenance, a chin implant is a permanent solution that can dramatically improve facial contours.
