Enhance Chin Definition and Balance

About Chin Implants

Dr. Darrick Antell is a top New York Board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in aesthetic and cosmetic surgery, including chin enhancement in New York. One of the least invasive cosmetic surgeries available, chin implants provide immediate, drastic, and satisfying results, helping to balance facial structure and improve overall facial beauty.

Chin enhancement is an outpatient procedure designed to shape the contours and improve facial balance. The size and shape of the chin can play an integral role in overall facial harmony. A recessed chin, for example, may cause a nose to appear overly large. A more prominent chin often enhances overall facial attractiveness, giving people an impression of confidence, leadership qualities, capability, and personality.

If you are dissatisfied with the shape, definition, or balance of your chin in comparison with your other facial features, chin implants may be the right cosmetic solution for you. Chin augmentation in NYC can provide you with a more defined chin and improve both your physical appearance and your sense of self-confidence.

Considering Chin Implants

In addition to earning a Board certification in plastic surgery, Dr. Antell also has a Doctor of Medical Dentistry degree. Finding a doctor with both degrees is extremely rare because earning a combined medical and dental degree requires 8 years of intensive training. With his expertise in both facial aesthetics and dentistry, Dr. Antell is uniquely qualified to analyze and reconstruct the face, jaw, and chin.

The implants used during the chin enhancement procedure are made from a flexible, supple plastic called Silastic. Silastic is a widely used material throughout medicine. For chin implants, this material is shaped to add volume to the chin and definition to the jawline. Once inserted under your skin, the implant sits on the bone of your chin, and its wings, which extend along the jawline, anchor it in place. The size and shape of your individual implant can vary depending on your personal needs, appearance, and aesthetic goals. Chin implants come in a variety of different shapes and sizes.

Dr. Antell will help you choose the best chin implant for your needs and may further customize it on the day of surgery if necessary. The projection and size of the implant’s wings, which define your jaw, may also be customized to suit your needs best.

Anesthesia Used During Chin Implants

During chin enhancement, local anesthesia is used to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure. When appropriate, oral or IV sedation, also known as twilight anesthesia, may be recommended to enhance your comfort. During your consultation, Dr. Antell will discuss whether sedation is indicated for your procedure. Every patient’s safety and comfort are Dr. Antell’s top priority, and he and his staff will work to ensure a positive experience from your initial personal consultation through your recovery.

After chin augmentation, patients can typically leave the office less than an hour after surgery. Local anesthesia and IV sedation, when used, are short-acting medications that allow patients to begin recovering quickly. Although a responsible adult must drive you home after the procedure, patients often return to their daily routine within a few days.

Recovery From Chin Implants

Your Guide to Post-Chin Implants Care

Patients recover from the chin enhancement procedure relatively quickly compared to other, more invasive cosmetic procedures. Patients walk out of the office an hour after surgery and often return to work within a few days, essentially only experiencing a long weekend of recovery. A follow-up appointment is always scheduled one week after surgery to examine the incision site. Dissolving sutures are used, so an additional appointment to remove stitches is unnecessary. Strenuous activity, however, should be avoided for 10 to 14 days after your chin implant procedure in New York.

Cost Of Chin Implants

The cost of chin implants varies from patient to patient, depending on the complexity of the procedure and the surgeon’s expertise. Everyone’s facial features are unique; therefore, every chin implant approach is unique as well. The procedure is customized to enhance your individual contours best and balance your facial features. In order to achieve the best results for each chin implant, some procedures are more complex than others. Dr. Antell is a top New York Board-certified plastic surgeon and a leader in the field of aesthetic and cosmetic surgery.

Dr. Antell provides the least invasive, most advanced surgical techniques for all his procedures and has taken a particular interest in the aesthetic and social advantages chin enhancement can provide his patients. Dr. Antell’s skills and care are unmatched.
