...could be difficult for those that suffer from a weak chin. Clearly out of balance with your whole face, a weak chin can make you feel very self conscious. A weak chin is sometimes seen with a nose that may be too prominent for the face. Many times when performing rhinoplasty (nose surgery), the chin is augmented (enlarged) to help gain better balance and proportion to the face.
What you should know.
It usually takes about an hour to do. It can be performed with mild sedation and local anesthesia. The recovery is not difficult with some mild to moderate swelling to deal with that usually resolves in about a week. It is equally popular among women and men. Exceptionally rejuvenating in an "oh. so confident way", this surgery is greatly appreciated by patients who have received it. It can also be combined with liposuction of the neck to give a more complete result in certain individuals who have a weak chin with a shortened or thickened neck. Doing the chin implant with the liposuction is like fine sculpting of your face. Still considered minor surgery, this combination can have a huge impact on your appearance helping men to look more chiseled and woman to look more refined.
