BEFORE CHIN AUGMENTATION ABROAD

Before the surgery, the patient should consult with the doctor about the potential approaches to surgery, including, if appropriate, the shape and size of the implant.

Additionally, the surgeon will give the patient a list of guidelines for the days leading up to surgery, which usually advises abstaining from smoking, drinking and taking aspirin. The patient should arrange for someone to take them home after the surgery.

HOW IS IT PERFORMED

The doctor will make an incision either below the chin, in the natural crease in the chin, or in the inside of the mouth. Via this incision, the surgeon will place the implant or adjust the chin bone, before suturing the site.

Anesthesia

Local, or local with sedation.

Procedure duration

The Chin Augmentation takes 1 to 2 hours.

The surgeon reshapes the nose into the desired shape or size.
