What Is Chin Augmentation With Facial Implants?
Pre-formed solid Silastic implants to contour facial structure have been in use since the mid-1960s. We were involved in developing a silastic facial implant for the chin and a technique for implant placement. The safety of this kind of implant is well documented in a study we conducted for the American Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery in 1995. Silastic chin implants are non-reactive, do not change or disintegrate over time, and are designed to strengthen the facial structure and help prevent sagging and aging.
An attractive, appropriately shaped jawline is an important part of facial harmony. A receding chin produces an imbalance in the facial features. It makes the appearance of a larger nose, accentuates jowling, and may produce an unflattering neckline. In a matter of days, most patients can return to their normal schedules.
