Now more than ever, both men and women have the freedom and options to change features on their bodies and faces that they do not like. Facial implants are used to improve certain features of the face, such as the jawline or cheeks. Chin augmentation Naperville is the term used to refer to the surgical process of placing the facial implants either due to cosmetic needs or reconstructive reasons, perhaps after physical trauma to the face. Read on to learn more about chin augmentation.
How is it performed?
The chin implant surgery is an invasive procedure performed under local anesthesia and sedation. Your cosmetic surgeon will make an incision underneath the chin or inner side of your mouth. The incision will make way for the cosmetic surgeon to place the implant strategically. Once the facial implant is in place, the surgeon will stitch up the incision and dress it.
What to expect after surgery
Chin augmentation Naperville surgery takes about one hour to complete. The results are evident after surgery, although you will need a few weeks to heal and undress the wound. It takes typically twelve weeks to see the final results of the chin augmentation procedure after residual swelling subsides completely.
How long do facial implants last?
Chin implants are made from silicone and designed to last a lifetime once planted in the chin. However, they will not interfere or prevent the aging process. If you get involved in physical trauma to the face, there is a slight chance that the implant may suffer damage. In this case, you will need a restorative surgery to replace the implant.
