What are chin implants?

Chin implants are small implants made of a pliable synthetic material that feels very similar to your natural chin tissue. They come in many shapes and sizes, enabling a perfect fit and contouring for your face.

They are an excellent solution to improve the appearance of your chin. Houston Cosmetic Surgery Center takes a holistic approach to cosmetic procedures, carefully considering your whole face to ensure balanced proportions and the best possible results.

Am I a good candidate for chin implants?

Chin implants provide a dramatic improvement for aesthetic issues like:

• A receding or weak chin
• Prominent nose compared to other features
• A fleshy neck
• Facial asymmetry
• A square or pointed chin that doesn’t flatter your other features
• Loss of facial contours due to aging
• A weak or receding jawline

Cosmetic procedures work to harmonize your face rather than take anything away from your natural beauty. If you want to see whether a stronger chin could illuminate your facial features, schedule a consultation with Dr. Davila at Houston Cosmetic Surgery Center.

What can I expect during chin implant surgery?

The team starts with anesthesia for your comfort. Once it takes effect, Dr. Davila makes a small incision under the chin or inside the mouth, creating a space for implant insertion, which your surgeon meticulously fits to the contours of your face.

The surgery takes about an hour. Once Dr. Davila is satisfied that everything is perfectly placed, they close the incision with fine sutures. These tiny stitches leave little to no visible scarring, and you can begin your recovery.

What happens after chin implant surgery?

When your surgery is complete, your surgeon applies a dressing to stay in place for 2-3 days. Dr. Davila can prescribe medications to alleviate discomfort with post-operative tenderness in the area.

Stick with a soft or liquid diet for a few days for comfort. The area may feel tight for about a week, so avoid excessive chewing. You can resume your usual activities after ten days, and the swelling should subside within six weeks so you can enjoy your beautiful results.
