Facial harmony, proportion, and symmetry are considered the most important aspects of facial beauty. At Luxe Cosmetic Clinic in Sydney, our Dr specialises in facial plastic surgery, such as facelift surgery, eyelid surgery, chin and cheek implants, rhinoplasty, hairline lowering. Chin and cheek implants can reshape your facial features and produce natural-looking results.
A chin implant can be used to balance the proportions of the face. A chin implant is most often used if you have a small lower jaw. An implant can also be used to compensate for a large nose and to help it appear smaller. A wide range of chin implant shapes and sizes are available to suit your particular needs.

The Procedure

A chin implant can be an isolated procedure or combined with other facial surgery. The chin implant is inserted via an incision under the chin crease or through an incision in the mouth. The surgery is performed as a day-stay procedure under general anesthesia.

Recovery from Chin Implant

After a chin implant procedure you should be up and about on the same day and back at work within a week. Bruising and swelling is minimal. There is generally little pain associated with the chin implant procedure.

As with almost all surgery, moderation is the key to a natural-looking result. While a moderate increase in chin size may be aesthetically beneficial, a very large increase can look artificial and disharmonious. Our Dr always strives for natural-looking results in chin implant surgery, and so will carefully assess you to determine the correct chin implant shape and size for your requirements.
