Asian Chin Augmentation in Beverly Hills

Provide Facial Balance and Proportion

Patients who desire chin augmentation surgery often feel that their chin is crooked or misshapen. Dr. Lee offers chin implants and sliding genioplasty to provide Asian patients with pleasing facial balance and proportion.

Create a Defined Jawline

Many people wonder if chin augmentation improves the jawline. Asian chin augmentation surgery can help define the lower face to create a chiseled neck and jawline, providing patients with a symmetrical and strong appearance.

Eliminate a Double Chin

Many patients seeking Asian chin augmentation are unhappy with the appearance of their double chin. Chin augmentation surgery helps define and tighten the skin around the chin, eliminating the appearance of a double chin.

Chin Implant Surgery

There are not multiple types of chin implants, as most are made from biocompatible silicone, but your chin implant size and shape will be customized based on your specific needs.

Where Are the Incisions Made for Chin Implant Surgery?
Chin implant incisions are made on the inside of the lip. This eliminates any visible scarring.

The implant is inserted through the incision and positioned between the chin bone and the natural tissue. The incision is then closed using removable sutures.

Sliding Genioplasty

Sliding genioplasty involves an incision inside the lower lip along the gum line. Dr. Lee then cuts the chin bone from the jaw and moves it forward to meticulously reposition the chin and make it more prominent. A plate and screws secure the bones in place.

How Much Does Chin Augmentation Cost?

Your chin augmentation cost may vary depending on the type of surgery, implant selection, facility fees, anesthesia fees, pre-surgical tests, and post-surgical dressings. Dr. Lee will provide you with an accurate chin augmentation cost estimate during your consultation.

What Is Chin Augmentation Recovery Like?

Your chin may be wrapped with dressings that will protect the treatment area and ensure that the implant or chin and jaw bones settle into the correct position. We suggest that you rest and sleep with your head in an upright position to reduce swelling by promoting blood circulation.

How Long Is Recovery After Chin Augmentation Surgery?
Most patients feel comfortable returning to work within one to two weeks, but they should avoid any strenuous exercise or activity for four to six weeks.

Is Chin Augmentation Painful?

Since chin augmentation is performed using anesthesia, you will not feel any pain throughout the procedure. You can expect bruising, swelling, and soreness following your chin augmentation. Any discomfort can be alleviated with prescribed or over-the-counter pain medication and cold compresses.

What type of anesthesia is used for chin augmentation?

Why is it important to choose a surgeon who specializes in Asian chin augmentation?

Choosing a surgeon such as Dr. Lee, who specializes in Asian plastic surgery procedures, ensures that your surgeon understands the complexity of Asian skin and anatomy. Dr. Lee understands that many Asian patients wish to conceal their scars after surgery, especially scars on the face. Dr. Lee will work to conceal facial scars as best as he can for your facial plastic surgery.

Should I combine chin augmentation with Asian facelift surgery?

Some patients choose to combine their chin augmentation with facelift surgery to eliminate the appearance of jowls and signs of aging on the lower face and neck. By addressing these signs of aging, the results of your chin augmentation may be more noticeable.
Other procedures that can be combined with chin augmentation surgery include:

• Cheek reduction surgery
• Brow lift surgery
• Asian rhinoplasty (nose surgery)

During your consultation with Dr. Lee in Beverly Hills, he will determine if you are a candidate for combining plastic surgery procedures.

Will chin augmentation make my face less round?

Chin augmentation for round faces can create more balanced facial proportions by elongating the face. As the chin becomes larger and more defined, the face can take on a more oval shape rather than round.

When will I see my chin augmentation results?

The results of your chin augmentation will be noticeable immediately following the procedure, and they will continue to improve and define as the bruising and swelling subside.

How long do chin augmentations last?

Chin augmentation results are generally permanent. The appearance of your chin augmentation is not expected to change over time besides natural aging, and you can enjoy the results of your newly defined and better-proportioned chin for many years to come.
