Chin Implant in Beverly Hills
Being dissatisfied with the shape or size of your chin can be endlessly frustrating. Even if diet and exercise provide a slimmer appearance, if the underlying bone structure is a certain shape, there is no way to achieve the look you want. A chin implant allows you to take that next step through personalized chin augmentation with Dr. Dhir in Beverly Hills.
What Is a Chin Implant?
Cosmetic implants allow you to reshape your appearance and are used for a variety of body areas. Dr. Dhir specializes in chin implants, which are constructed from a pliable, medical-grade material that is placed under the skin to enhance its appearance. The size, shape, and placement of the implant can all factor into the outcome you want to see. Some of the reasons our patients want a chin implant include:
- Overall improvement to the jawline
- Reduce the appearance of a double chin
- Restore or improve facial symmetry
- Balance your chin with your other features
- Create a more defined chin profile
Chin Augmentation with Implants versus Fillers
Two main options exist for chin augmentation at present: permanent implants and injectable fillers. Dr. Dhir specializes in permanent implants because they provide patients with a lifetime of an appearance they love. The bio-compatible alloplastic that comprises the chin implant allows it to remain durable while also not triggering the body’s immune response.
Fillers can create a similar effect, but the results fade every few months. This requires touchups (sometimes more than one a year) to preserve results, which is why implants continue to become more popular. Each implant for chin augmentation that Dr. Dhir uses is created to last, providing years of a boosted appearance.
How a Custom Chin Implant Is Made
- The Consultation: First, Dr. Dhir conducts a full consultation to learn about your goals. He can go over different implant shapes and work with you to create a plan that will best enhance your natural features.
- Creating a 3D Model: A model is created using CT scans. This allows us to see what changes to your chin shape will look like before you proceed with the procedure. We can make adjustments according to the results you want.
- Manufacturing the Implant: We then order an implant that is created to the size and specifications you want. We work exclusively with well-reputed manufacturers who create implants with medical-grade materials.
Is Custom Chin Augmentation Surgery Right for Me?
Chin implant surgery can be a transformative experience for many people. However, it remains vital that we ensure you are a good candidate for the procedure. While the procedure is open to most patients, it is important to have enough bone structure to support the implant. If you are in doubt, not to worry. Dr. Dhir takes the time to work with each patient, ensuring they learn all about their options. Even if a chin implant is not your path, he can find a solution that is your optimal match.
Some signs this procedure may be ideal for you include:
- Having a weak or receding chin
- Want to restore balanced facial features
- Are in good health
- Want a permanent solution
Procedure Overview
- Anesthesia: While some chin augmentation procedures can be done with only local anesthesia, general anesthesia is often best. Both solutions, when used appropriately, allow for a pain-free procedure.
- Process: Dr. Dhir creates incisions either under the chin or within the mouth through which the implant can be inserted. His technique focuses on creating space for the implant while minimizing damage to other tissues.
- Duration: This depends on the procedure’s complexity, and it can range from 1 to 3 hours.
- Wrapping Up: Once the implant is in place, Dr. Dhir confirms it aligns with the 3D model perfectly. Only then does he close the incisions and complete the procedure.
Recovery & Downtime
You can return home the same day as your chin augmentation procedure. While recovery is typically straightforward, it is essential to follow all of Dr. Dhir’s post-procedure instructions. Also, attending your follow-up visits will also prove a key part of healing. Factors to keep in mind include:
- Avoiding work and physical activity for about 2 weeks
- Caring for the surgical site as instructed (cleaning, changing bandages)
- Avoiding any smoking, alcohol, and tobacco
- Returning to physical routines only after follow-up with approval
Seeing Your Chin Augmentation Results
While a chin implant can instantly alter the shape of your chin, it can take a few weeks before the results really become apparent. This is because you will need to wait for any swelling to fade first. The initial swelling should fade within a couple of weeks, and you can start enjoying your newly enhanced chin. However, your final results will be evident after all the subtle residual swelling fades over the coming months. The changes will be subtle, but it is important to remember that even minor swelling will have an effect on appearance.
Why Choose Dr. Dhir for an Enhanced Chin Contour
Dr. Dhir has dedicated his career to addressing a select few facial features. Rather than trying to do everything with mediocrity, he chose to pursue excellence in his craft. His main focus is on chin and jaw procedures and he has become a pioneer in the field of custom implants for the jaw. Every patient and every procedure is a new opportunity to help someone achieve an appearance they will love for a lifetime.
How Much Does a Chin Implant Cost?
Chin implant costs can vary, with the complexity of the surgery and the materials comprising most of the final price. The materials must be of the highest quality because they will need to safely rest under the skin for years without causing wear or damage. After the consultation, when he understands your complete situation, Dr. Dhir can provide you with a clear, personalized estimate.
