Chin Implants​ In Manchester

Some people feel they have a recessed or receding chin that creates a weak contour. In turn this sometimes makes the face lack proportion and can negatively impact self confidence and self esteem.

As the chin is such a defining feature, often seen as the pinnacle of facial features, patients can feel unhappy and anxious about attractiveness and are constantly doubting their appearance, particularly from the side profile.

Chin implants can be beneficial for ideal candidates because they can:

• Correct a weak side profile
• Add volume to a recessed / receding chin
• Improve the overall proportion of the face
• Reduce the appearance of a double chin
• Boost self confidence and self esteem

At the Manchester Private Hospital, we understand that each patient often has their own reasons for considering chin implants. If you feel you are a candidate for surgery, speak with a specialist for a consultation and assessment.

Cosmetic chin enhancements are performed under general anaesthetic and as an outpatient – meaning you can return home the same day.

The entire procedure takes around one hour to perform, but may be longer if combined with other procedures.

After an incision is made, the tissue within the chin is stretched in order to create the pocket where the implant is inserted. Incisions are then stitched and will heal with no visible scarring due to the careful placement of the incision.

Following chin implant surgery, your cosmetic surgeon will apply a dressing to the treated area. You should keep the dressing on for up to four days. During this time you may experience some sensitivity and tenderness along with mild discomfort. All of which can be eased with the use of pain relief medication.

When you return home, you may be asked to follow a special diet involving liquids as chewing may cause discomfort. Following this for up to 5 days will also be beneficial in the healing process so that you can get the most out of your procedure. In the immediate recovery phase it is normal for patients to feel a tight sensation and feeling as though the chin has been stretched. This should subside within 5-7 days.

After your chin surgery, you will be discharged with an aftercare plan that you will be required to follow for up to two months post treatment. Rest and take it easy for up to 10 days and take as much time off work as you feel you need. Although patients typically return to work after one week. It is normal to experience swelling, which should subside after 4 to 6 weeks. During this time it is advised that you avoid strenuous exercise.

Each patient case is individual and aftercare may vary depending on the extent of your chin procedure. You should listen to your body and contact your cosmetic surgeon’s clinic if you have any concerns.

Chin augmentation is considered a very safe cosmetic procedure. However, there are some side effects and complications that you should be aware of, including:

• Swelling
• Pain or discomfort
• Feeling of tightness
• Loss of skin sensation
• Infection
• Bleeding
• Scarring
• Asymmetry
• Implant movement

To minimise the risk of side effects, always ensure you are comfortable with the cosmetic surgeon who will perform your surgery. It is also advised to ask for portfolio photos of past patients who have undergone chin implant surgery so that you can see the exact results the surgeon has produced. A qualified and experienced chin surgeon will be able to meet your expectations and goals as opposed to a surgeon with little experience in this area.
