Chin Plasty
Reshape your face, create better appearance with slimmer face
There are 4 protrude areas on human face those are forehead, nose, cheek, and chin. The beautiful face must have balance of those areas. If there is any imbalance of the 4 areas, refinement of each part can solve the problem such as nose surgery, cheek refinement, or chin augmentation
 
   
The type and complexity of this procedure is dictated by the degree of chin deformity and the patient's treatment goals
1. Using silicone stick.
This technique is suit for slight or moderate refinement.
The pros are it is a simple surgery, takes short time, and sedation is not required.
The cons is the silicone can cause many side effect


2. Reposition the chinbone forward. This technique is used for patient that requires high degree of chin refinement.
The pros are silicone is not required, use patient's own bone
The cons are it is more complicated procedure, longer incision, time-consuming, and must be performed under general anesthesia and sedation

3. Onlay Bone Graft. This technique is no longer implemented since the implanted bone can decay and it requires more incisions to reinsert new bone
 
  Chin augmentation using silicone has been done for around 30 - 40 years and proven to be safe. The silicone stick will be modified to the desired shape and inserted through incision to place over the chinbone. There are 2 procedures available as follow;
1. Internal oral incision. This is very popular since there is no external scar.
2. Under chin incision. This is used for patient with very small chin. Inserting the silicone stick through oral incision may not be in the desired position
 
     
  The silicone chin refinement is performed on an outpatient basis. Patient will experience a brief period of chin swelling, normally in the first 3 days. During that period, patient must stay on a soft diet until the wound heal.

Wound infection may occur such as silicone stick protrude through the skin, thinner chinbone, wound bleeding, altered sensation of the lower lip, silicone stick moves from the desired position.
