Defining Your Face

Chin augmentation is a cosmetic procedure designed to improve the shape and prominence of the chin, creating a more balanced facial profile. Depending on your unique aesthetic goals, this procedure can involve using implants or injectable fillers to achieve the desired look.

Your Experience at Rei Facial Plastic Surgery

When you choose Dr. Morisada for your chin augmentation in Honolulu, you can expect a personalized and comfortable experience. The step-by-step process begins with a thorough consultation. Dr. Morisada will assess your facial structure, discuss your concerns, and develop a customized treatment plan to achieve your goals.

Creating Your New Look

Next will be the execution of the procedure. Chin augmentation can be performed using two primary methods:

  • Chin implants: For those seeking long-lasting enhancement, chin implants are inserted through small incisions inside the mouth or beneath the chin. Dr. Morisada will select the appropriate size and shape of the implant to achieve a natural-looking result.
  • Injectable fillers: For a non-surgical option, dermal fillers can be injected into the chin area to enhance its shape and volume. This method offers instant results.

Developing Your Results

Injectable treatments have minimal downtime, and results will be evident within 24 to 48 hours as swelling subsides. Most patients can return to normal activities right after the procedure. The procedure takes about an hour and about one to two weeks to heal when an implant is placed. For the first week, you should consider staying home from work to rest and allow your tissues to heal.

Benefiting Beautifully

Chin augmentation in Honolulu at Rei Facial Plastic Surgery offers a variety of beauty benefits, including the following:

  • Enhanced facial balance: A well-defined chin contributes to overall facial harmony and can improve the jawline.
  • Improved confidence: Many patients report a boost in self-esteem following the procedure, feeling more comfortable and confident in their appearance.
  • Customizable options: With surgical and non-surgical options, chin augmentation can be customized to meet your preferences.
  • Minimal scarring: When performed with implants, incisions can be placed in inconspicuous areas, resulting in minimal visible scarring. Injections generally leave no trace at all.

Taking a Restful Moment for Recovery

Recovery from chin augmentation varies depending on the method used. For chin implants, patients may experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the first few days, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication. A soft diet may be recommended for the initial healing period.

Time away from work or strenuous activities is advisable for at least a week. For injectable fillers, recovery is typically minimal, with patients able to resume normal activities immediately. Some swelling and tenderness may occur but generally resolve quickly.
