Many people may feel that it is their nose that is too large or throwing off the balance for the rest of their face, when in fact a chin implant can have significantly marked improvements to one’s image. A chin that is too small can give the face a weak or unrefined appearance, while a well sculpted or chiseled jaw is generally thought to be far more attractive.
Dr. Varkarakis offers chin implants to those looking to obtain a beautifully balanced face. Dr. Varkarakis specializes in plastic and reconstructive surgery specifically for the face and neck, which makes him known for performing some of the best chin implants in Miami. A chin implant or augmentation can add strength and definition to the jaw line, granting one with a proportioned appearance. One of the great benefits of having a chin augmentation is that you will see the results from your chin implant immediately.
If you decide to go the route of implants for your chin augmentation, Dr. Varkarakis will make a small incision just under your chin within the natural crease lines, so any scarring will be fairly inconspicuous. The chin implant is then expertly placed through the incision, and sutured to prevent it from being dislodged, before closing up the incision.
Chin augmentation procedures are commonly combined with rhinoplasty or submental liposuction to eliminate the double chin, and enhance your profile. During your consultation with Dr. Varkarakis, you’ll be able to determine the best course of action so that you may reach your personal goals for facial rejuvenation.
Once you are out of surgery, you will be allowed to return home. The treated areas will be bandaged carefully to facilitate in the healing process. It is important that you keep your head properly elevated for the first 24 hours to help minimize bruising and swelling. You may experience some bruising and swelling for the first several weeks. Once the swelling has diminished, the implants will start to look more natural. Any visible sutures that may have been used will be removed within 5-7 days, following your procedure.
The incision is usually unnoticeable because of its discreet location and will fade with the use of advanced scar reducing treatment. Temporary numbness, or perhaps a sensation of tightness across the chin area can sometimes happen and is normal. This should resolve over time. Typically, you will be asked to return to the office following your surgery, for a follow-up appointment, so that Dr. Varkarakis may be allowed to check in with you, and see how you’re doing.
