Chin Implant, How to get Defined Face by Adding Volume On The Chin

 Chin Implant, How to get a Defined Face by adding Volume to the chin

 

 

 

Many people are concerned about their faces looking stuffy and dull, even though they don't have a large face. Most of these cases are caused due to a short chin. A short chin is a condition in which the tip of the chin is undersized or the tip is positioned posterior to the standard line, making the lower jaw look undersized.

 

 

 

In the case of a short chin, the lack of a chin creates a blurred line between the neck and chin, a protruding mouth when viewed from the side, and a dull, stuffy appearance, which can give a complex to a person's appearance, so many patients seek plastic surgery to improve their chin.

The Ideal Ratio of The Chin?

 

 

Although small and slim faces are all the rage, a small chin doesn't necessarily mean a beautiful one. From a cosmetology perspective, the ideal chin proportion is when the line dividing the hairline, brow, bottom of the nose, and chin is 1:1:0.9, and the angle of the line connecting the tip of the nose and the tip of the chin is 75-80 degrees when viewed from the side. 

For Short Chin, the proportion of the chin is much shorter than the ideal ratio of 0.9, and the angle between the nose and chin is much lower than 75~80 degrees, making a face look flat and stuffy.

 

Usually, when we think of V-line surgery, we often think of jawbone shaving or moving it after doing an osteotomy. Still, if you have a weak jawbone, you may want to consider a "short chin implant" surgery, as it is difficult to achieve an apparent effect by just cutting out the bone.

 

Short Chin Implant, adding Volume to get a more Defined Face

 

A chin implant is a V-line surgical procedure in which a custom-made chin implant is inserted into a short, blunt chin to add Volume to the tip of the chin to create a refined and beautiful chin shape. It is a popular option for those who suffer from a short chin because it helps to improve the dull and stuffy impression of a short chin, as well as a protruding mouth and a noticeable double chin. It adds Volume to the chin tip to add Volume to the whole face, making it a preferred option for those who suffer from a short chin.

 

TS Chin Implant Cases (Before Surgery)

This is a preoperative look at the patient who has done a Dual plane Chin Implant at TS. This patient, who had a slight facial bone structure giving her a younger look than her peers, underwent dual-plane chin implant surgery at TS to improve her complex about her protruding mouth and prominent double chin, which made her image look glazed and stuffy due to her small and deficient chin.

(BEFORE / AFTER)

 

After dual-plane chin implant surgery, the patient's facial shape was improved by adding Volume to the tip of the chin, creating a more refined image. Those with a short chin, especially when viewed from the side, can make the double chin stand out and cause the mouth to protrude more, giving the patient a chubby and stuffy appearance. After surgery, as the double chin improves, you can see that the boundary between the neck and chin is sharpened, the chin has some volume at the tip, and the protruding mouth has also improved.

 

About "Bony Erosion" after Chin Implant Surgery

Some patients who come to our clinic for chin implant surgery sometimes ask about 'Bony Erosion' after chin implant surgery. Bony Erosion is the deformation of the bone or skeleton due to constant pressure. It is mainly a symptom that occurs after chin implant surgery or chin filler, and many people are worried about this because the part of the bone where the filler or implant meets erodes and causes a dent, which is not visible to the naked eye or causes functional problems, but it can be seen on CT.

 

Dual-Plane Technique to Reduce the Risk of Bone Erosion

 

To minimize the risk of Bony Erosion, we use the dual-plane technique, which involves inserting two layers of implants, one above and one below the periosteum. The dual-plane technique means that the tip of the implant is placed under the periosteum, and the center of the implant is placed on top of the periosteum. This reduces the area of bone in contact with the implant while maintaining the firmness of the periosteal fixation, thus reducing the chance of bony Erosion.

 

A Detailed Consultation with a Surgeon 

Who Has a Strong Understanding of

Chin Implants and Facial Contours are Essential

 

While chin implants can improve the overall balance of the face by simply enhancing the chin volume without requiring bone surgery, if you impulsively decide to have the surgery without thorough planning, you may have to undergo a revision due to dissatisfaction with the results. In fact, some are unsatisfied with their chin implants because it doesn't match their jawbone, resulting in an unnatural chin shape or a lantern jaw, so if you are considering it, you will have to make a more careful decision.
 
For this reason, we recommend that you choose a surgeon with a strong understanding of each, who will thoroughly evaluate your options, to see whether the procedure is proper for you, the possible side effects, and the symmetry of your current facial structure so that you can have the procedure done using customized silicone that conforms to the shape of your bones.
