The chin serves an incredibly important function aesthetically. It anchors the lower
half of your face, providing a firm foundation for all of your facial features. A
strong chin will also help to create a crisp, defined jawline that is the aesthetic
ideal for both men and women. A sharp jawline may make your neck look longer,
leaner and more youthful while also diminishing the appearance of a double chin.
While dermal fillers or injectable biostimulators can be a nice non-surgical option
for improving the appearance of the lower face, it’s important to choose the right
procedure for your unique anatomy. A chin implant is a surgical procedure with
the ability to deliver a robust, long-lasting and youthful looking result by creating a
more defined jawline and restoring harmony to your face.
Ideal Candidate for a Chin Implant in Boston
In order to achieve the excellent result that we both want, it’s important to schedule
an in-person consultation. This allows me to listen closely to what bothers you
about your appearance and perform an in-depth physical exam in order to
determine the best treatment plan to deliver on your goals. The ideal candidate for
a chin implant is any man or women in good overall health who is bothered by a:
• Weak or receding chin
• Asymmetry in the face
• Double chin
• Lack of definition at chin/neck juncture
A chin implant procedure is so powerful because it can restore or create proper
facial proportion. Since the human eye is wired to perceive harmony as more
youthful, improving the contour of your chin can rejuvenate your entire
appearance. Patients tell me afterwards how they feel more confident and
comfortable in their skin. It is one of those procedures that delivers a significant
return on your investment.
Chin Implant Recovery
The placement of a chin implant is a surgical procedure that will require downtime
for recovery. You can expect some slight swelling after your procedure and
perhaps some bruising. This is your body’s natural healing response. Most patients
describe the recovery as uncomfortable, not necessarily painful, but I can prescribe
pain meds if needed. You can return to most of your daily activities after a few
days, but I do want you to avoid strenuous exercise for about 2 to 3 weeks. You’ve
invested the time and money into transforming your jawline so give yourself the
proper time to rest and heal. It’s worth it in the long run.
