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 woman 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 afterward 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 medication 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.
