Pros and Cons of Non-Surgical Chin Augmentation
Advertisement
If you have a small or receding chin, surgical chin implants may be the best way for you to achieve a more balanced look. However, there are ways to enhance the chin area without having surgery. Many cosmetic surgeons are using a combination of next-generation injectable fillers to enhance the chin area and create a more youthful appearance in a procedure known as non-surgical chin augmentation.
Non-surgical chin augmentation can be performed with soft, pliable fillers such as Radiesse and Sculptra which are injected directly into the tissues, and then sculpted into place from the outside in. This creates the effect of a larger, shapelier chin and jawline, and can even help reduce lines and wrinkles around the upper neck and jawline. Here’s a close look at the benefits and drawbacks of the non-surgical chin augmentation procedure:
Benefits of the Non-Surgical Chin Augmentation Procedure
Non-surgical chin augmentation is typically performed with some of today’s advanced hyaluronic acid fillers such as Sculptra, Radiesse and Juvederm. These fillers are administered directly into the skin, and the doctor may prepare the area with topical anesthetic so you don’t feel any type of pinching or pain. The injection site is then filled with the compound, and the doctor can shape and ‘mold’ the gel as it goes into the skin so that the result looks very natural.
Key benefits of the non-surgical chin augmentation procedure include:
- More affordable than conventional chin augmentation surgery
- Little to no pain
- Immediate results
- No downtime
- No risk of side effects from the fillers
- Can be performed on an outpatient basis
Drawbacks of Non-Surgical Chin Augmentation
While the non-surgical chin augmentation procedure offers several benefits, there are some drawbacks to keep in mind when considering this treatment.
Since the fillers are made with hyaluronic acid, the compounds will be absorbed by the body over time so you must have frequent touch-up treatments in order to maintain results. Another drawback is that every doctor will use his or her own technique in creating the desired chin; you may need to undergo a series of treatments in order to achieve the most natural-looking results, and the exact size and shape that you want.
Are You a Good Candidate for Non-Surgical Chin Augmentation?
If you want to achieve a more youthful-looking jawline and improve your facial appearance, you may be a good candidate for non-surgical chin augmentation. This relatively painless procedure is an affordable alternative to surgery, and although it will require touch up treatments, you can enjoy results immediately after the procedure.
You may be a good candidate for the non-surgical chin augmentation procedure if you:
- Have been in an accident that has created an uneven jawline
- Want a more youthful appearance
- Need to get rid of fine lines or sagging skin around the lower jawline
- Want to achieve a more attractive facial profile
