Chin liposuction and implants are becoming more popular than ever. Whether due to inspiration from celebrities or social media trends, we are seeing more and more patients looking to enhance and define their jawline. With that in mind, let’s take a closer look at these jaw-defining cosmetic procedures.
What is Chin Liposuction?
Chin liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that removes unwanted fat from the chin and jawline area. By using a small tube attached to a suction device, our providers can loosen and suction out excess fat, giving you a sleeker and more defined chin and jawline area. Whether you’re struggling with a small amount of excess fat or a double chin, chin liposuction can give you the sculpted jawline you desire.
What are Chin Implants?
Chin implants are synthetic devices (usually made of solid silicone) that are gently placed inside a pocket in the chin to strengthen your features. It is generally inserted along the lower border of the jaw to provide more definition and prominence to the jawline and chin area. These implants can come in different shapes and sizes to meet your needs and to ensure your chin is proportional to the rest of your facial features.
Who is a Candidate for Jawline Enhancement?
Most patients who are struggling with receding or weak jawlines are good candidates for jawline enhancement. That said, there are some criteria we follow to determine ideal candidates for these procedures. Patients should be in good general health, have realistic expectations of treatment, be nonsmokers, and not have any medical conditions that could negatively affect the healing process. These procedures are also not recommended for those who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Which Treatment is Right for You?
Is chin liposuction or chin implants right for you? During your consultation, your provider will review your medical history and list of medications, examine your jawline and face, and determine which option is best for you. It’s also important to know the benefits of each procedure so you know what to expect from each procedure.
