A chin implant can improve the harmony of the profile. The alternatives of chin correction with hyaluronic acid or autologous fat cannot be compared in terms of durability and height of projection. In some cases, an orthodontic assessment may make sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To a certain extent, an augmentation of the chin region can also tighten the chin\/neck region. In addition, a possible incision for chin augmentation can also be used to perform a neck liposuction or neck lift. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A common combination is the reduction of the nose with an emphasis on the chin region with a chin implant.<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n

Silicone implants are used very frequently because they are relatively easy to insert with a short incision and are also well tolerated. Since there are not huge differences in jaw size and shape (and not an infinite number of sizes either), similar sizes and shapes are usually used.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n\r\n Cut & Scar:<\/strong><\/p>\n Position of the implant:<\/strong><\/p>\n The implant is positioned as precisely as possible and sometimes fixed with stitches. After the operation, it is additionally fixed with an adhesive bandage from the outside. Nevertheless, slight changes in position can occur due to the formation of scars and capsules or due to the tension of the muscles. Certain asymmetries are also basically always present on two sides. Of course, the area around the chin also changes - the position of the lower lip and the lower row of teeth - especially as long as the wound is still healing and there is a certain amount of swelling.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n\r\n side profile and nose\/chin\/chin line ratio:<\/strong> A chin implant changes the relationship between the chin region and the nose and the chin region and the chin line, but of course not the nose or chin line (even to a slight degree).<\/p>\n If changes are desired in this area, rhinoplasty or facelift\/neck lift are available as options<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n\n Change in the sensation of the region, possibly numbness - even with all caution, a change in the sensation of the region, a slight change in the surface or even a numbness can occur in this area.
