All About Chin Implants:

Chin implants are a good idea if you have a barely-there chin. They add definition to your face and character to the jaw line and when performed aesthetically, the results are marvelous.

A chin implant can also be performed along with a neck lift, cheek augmentation or a facelift. The right combination simply depends on the kind of result you are looking for. It is essential to consult an experienced plastic surgeon to find out if you are suitable for a chin implant surgery.

The entire procedure ideally takes an hour, but if performed as a supplement to other cosmetic procedures, the surgery period can increase. The plastic surgeon makes an incision inside the mouth, or along the lower lip or in the skin beneath the chin depending on the patient’s facial anatomy.

Chin implants come in various sizes and are made of different materials. Surgeons accordingly insert the implant that is best suited for a patient. There are risks attached to certain implant materials and discussing the type of implant that will be used is crucial.

Health insurance can cover the cost involved in a chin surgery for reconstructive purposes; but a chin implant procedure that is performed for cosmetic reasons is not covered by any insurance.
