Chin surgery

What can you expect from chin surgery?

The chin plays a major role in defining the character and the appearance of the face. The connate, asymmetrical jaw line can affect the confidence, and leaves mark on the quality of life. Therefore, it is very important to know, that if you feel you have too large, strong or even small, nondescript chin, which mismatches your face, there is a way to change it, taking the advantage of the opportunities offered in the field of plastic surgery.

It is no longer a problem to make a more masculine, stronger jaw filling with own fat, but we can also make finer, softer forms for the ladies. The chin surgery allows you to change the width or length of the jaw, whichever you feel suits better your nose and your face.

What is chin surgery?

When talking about chin surgery, usually the first thing that comes to mind is implant, but actually there is a simpler and more natural method to achieve the desired shapes, transfering own fat to the area. This method has already proven to produce durable results in case of breast augmentation or whe getting rid of wrinkles.

Filling with own fat is also a good choice, because at the same time it also does some toning. as the surgero takes the fat tissues from critical body parts, such as the abdomen, thigh or upper arm. Due to the characteristics of the chin area, experience has shown that at least fifty percent of fat cells remain stable at around the chin, thereby achieving the desired effect. For substituting the absorbed fat, additional fat injection may be needed in the area, targeting a more perfect outcome.

If you want permanent results, without the need to repeat the procedure, you can also choose to use implants to change the look and shape of the chin. You have to take into consideration, that it is a longer and more complex procedure, but the effects will be immediate and permanent.

What preparations and analysis are needed before the procedure?

Similar to other cosmetic procedures, our patients have to undergo several tests prior to chin surgery, to ensure that all health aspects are filtered out, which could affect the outcome of the surgery. The Budapest Plastic Centre offers an outstanding experience in this field as well, as we can quickly and smoothly perform the lab tests, ECG, X-ray,in our well equiped examining room.

In order to recover as quickly as possible from the surgery, we recommend our patients to switch to a healthier lifestyle and of course to quit smoking prior to the surgery. It is important for you to know that nicotine in the body slows down any healing process.

Expected results

In case of filling with own fat during chin surgery, results are visible immediately. The liposuction, preparing the extracted fat cells and the scattering in the area of the jaw can take up to one, one and a half hours, but the procedure is done under local anesthesia, so we can say, it’s pain free. If you want, you can also choose to insert implants in the area to achieve the desired look.

Although the experience with adhesion of fat cells is very good, some natural connective tissue characteristics, age, and general health can play a role regarding effectiveness. At least fifty percent of the injected fat will surely adhere and permanently preserve in the surrounding areas for several years.

Naturally, the filling is repeatable, depending on the results. In case of implant, the change is permanent and won’t need repetition. Control examination will be needed the first, and the sixth weeks after the surgery, which is perfomed quickly in our institute.
