Chin augmentation surgery is a method that helps to make the face more proportionate, enhancing facial harmony and beauty. This is achieved through a small surgical procedure that can augment the chin with silicone, leaving no scars and providing long-lasting results. The surgeon will design the chin shape that suits the patient’s facial structure.

Advantages of Chin Augmentation Surgery with Silicone

• Surgery is done inside the mouth, no visible scars on the outside.
• No need to cut bones, quick recovery.
• Suitable for those who want to achieve a V-shape face, have a short or receding chin, or have a round or square chin.

Types of Chin Augmentation with Silicone

• Soft silicone, flexible, and can adapt to the chin bone well.
• Long silicone, looks smooth, does not sag, has minimal scars, and can be designed to fit the face.

Limitations

• Not suitable for those with a large chin bone or a large facial structure.
• May result in a movable chin shape over time.
• May cause the chin to become lumpy.

Suitable for those who already have a chin and want to enhance the chin tip to make the face look longer.

Post-operative care includes applying cold packs for the first 1-3 days, then switching to warm packs for about 3 days. Sleep with your head elevated and avoid sleeping on your side for 1 month. Avoid fermented foods and foods with strong flavors for 1 month. Avoid alcohol and smoking for 1 month. Avoid strenuous exercise or sports that impact the face for 4 weeks. Take prescribed medication such as anti-swelling, pain relievers, and antibiotics. Clean the wound with saline-soaked cotton buds 1-2 times a day until the stitches are removed.

Common post-operative symptoms include swelling, bruising, and tightness around the wound, which can be alleviated with cold packs for the first 3 days and warm packs for the next 3 days. Pain at the wound site can be relieved with painkillers. If there are abnormal symptoms, such as inflammation, pain, redness, or pus, consult a doctor immediately.

Avoid consuming spicy or hot foods as they may cause runny nose and increase the risk of infection. Avoid fermented foods, as they may increase the risk of infection. Avoid seafood or salty foods, as they may cause water retention, delay wound healing, and increase the risk of infection.

Chin augmentation surgery is a minor procedure done under local anesthesia, and patients can travel home immediately after the surgery.
