Procedure:
Chin surgery can be performed to decrease or increase
chin prominence and to improve your overall profile.
If you have a receding chin, or a chin that is out
of proportion with your other facial features, a
more attractive jaw line can be achieved with either
an implant or permanent sliding of part of the chin
bone. A protruding chin might also be corrected
by reducing bone prominence or sometimes by repositioning
the jaw line.
Other facial plastic surgery
procedures that might enhance the results of chin
surgery are rhinoplasty (nose job or nose reshaping),
neck lift, or liposuction of the neck.
Length of procedure:
Usually 30-60 minutes
Anesthesia:
Sedation and local or general anesthesia
In/Outpatient:
Outpatient
Risks:
Major complications are rare, though all surgical
procedures may carry some degree of risk. Specific
potential risks can’t be determined for any
given individual until a doctor in Oklahoma has
been able to meet with the patient to evaluate the
situation and prior health conditions.
You can plan for swelling,
tenderness, and possible local numbness for a couple
months, but this will gradually subside.
Recovery:
Initial discomfort is easily treated with oral medication
Back to work: About 5-7 days
Strenuous activity: 6 weeks or more
Final appearance: should look normal in 2-4 weeks
Duration of results:
Permanent
