Chin Implant in Chevy Chase, MD

Understanding Chin Augmentation

Chin augmentation addresses facial proportions for patients with small or receding chins. A strategically placed chin implant can dramatically improve facial harmony, potentially minimizing the appearance of a prominent nose and creating a more balanced profile.

Procedure Overview

Dr. Miles performs chin augmentation using a precise surgical technique involving a solid silicone implant. The procedure is typically completed as an outpatient intervention under local anesthesia with twilight sedation.

Surgical Technique

• Implant placement through a small incision underneath the chin
• Uses solid silicone implant for natural-looking enhancement
• Often combined with rhinoplasty or neck lift procedures

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect initial recovery with minimal discomfort. A pressure dressing and supportive head band are typically used post-procedure. Swelling and tenderness gradually subside within one to two months.

Important Considerations

• Procedure is considered cosmetic and not covered by insurance
• Patient responsible for full procedure payment
• Individual consultation required to assess specific candidacy

Potential Benefits

Chin implants can significantly improve facial profile, enhance facial balance, and boost overall aesthetic proportions. The procedure offers a permanent solution for individuals seeking subtle yet impactful facial refinement.
