Chin Augmentation in New Jersey

A refined, balanced profile supports healthy self-esteem and self-confidence. Whether you’ve always desired an improved facial shape or you are simply addressing the changes that come with age, a chin augmentation in New Jersey with Dr. Parakh can provide you with a nuanced, personalized transformation.

What is Chin Augmentation?

Chin augmentation is a highly personalized procedure designed to deliver the facial contours you desire. It can be performed on its own or in tandem with other cosmetic procedures such as liposuction to balance the facial features and optimize your profile. This procedure has been successfully performed for decades, and Dr. Parakh’s advanced surgical techniques ensure a natural-looking outcome.

What Chin Augmentation Does for You

The size of the chin can influence perception of the nose and can significantly impact your facial profile. For example, a small or weak chin can make your nose appear larger than it really is, or it may lead to a heavier appearance by making your neck look bigger. Chin augmentation can add volume to the chin to ensure a more proportionate and balanced profile.

What are Chin Implants Made Of?

In general, chin implants are made of a soft, flexible material like solid silicone. The implant is inserted through a small incision below your chin.

The material is biocompatible, so your body will adapt naturally to the presence of the implant. Dr. Parakh uses an anatomic implant that contours precisely to the jawbone for ultimate comfort and a natural look and feel.

After only a few weeks, most people are entirely unaware of the presence of the implant. Recovery can often be quick, with socializing possible in a matter of days after the procedure.

What To Expect During Your Chin Augmentation Consultation

Before your procedure, you will meet with Dr. Parakh for a consultation at her Englewood, NJ office. During this meeting, she will determine if you’re a candidate and then develop your personalized treatment plan.

Dr. Parakh will answer your questions in detail and provide you with clear and detailed 3D computer imaging that can demonstrate possibilities for your outcome based on your unique facial dimensions and shape. She will make recommendations about the type, size, and placement of your chin implant and will provide an overview of the recovery and risks for chin augmentation.

How the Surgery is Performed

Chin augmentation is performed under light sedation (twilight anesthesia) along with local anesthesia, or general anesthesia. It can be performed along with other cosmetic procedures as well to provide facial balance. The procedure itself takes about 1 hour, and the incision will be placed inconspicuously under the chin to minimize scarring.

Recovery

Chin augmentation provides immediate results. For about one week after your surgery, swelling and bruising will be visible in the chin area but should resolve after that time. Most people who receive a chin augmentation procedure can return to work after a week. It’s best to avoid strenuous activity and physical exercise for about three weeks, but social events and work should be possible within days.

Who Makes the Best Chin Augmentation Candidate?

Although you’ll need to schedule a consultation to know for sure if you’re a good candidate the best patients for this procedure are generally those who:

Feel they have a weak chin, especially in comparison to other facial features
Have facial bones that have reached physical maturity
Have no major medical conditions
Have realistic expectations for what chin augmentation can accomplish

If you’re considering a chin augmentation in New Jersey with Dr. Parakh, you may be the perfect candidate, depending on several factors. Her office is located in Englewood, NJ. While she proudly serves local patients in the New Jersey area, she also welcomes patients from all over the country.
