Here we explain chin augmentation for aesthetic reasons.<\/strong> We use implants, bone surgery or non-surgical methods to change your facial profile aesthetically according to your wishes.<\/p>\n

Important note on treatment:<\/p>\n

It is not enough to treat a receding chin associated with a significant malocclusion<\/strong> with a chin implant.<\/p>\n

This requires cooperation between the surgeon and orthodontist<\/strong>, as orthodontic correction of the bite, including bone realignment and tooth position correction, is also necessary.<\/p>\n

Chin augmentation<\/strong> for cosmetic chin augmentation is also known as chin plastic surgery or chin augmentation.<\/p>\n

How do our D\u00fcsseldorf surgeons perform chin augmentation?<\/h2>\n

You will first receive comprehensive information about the possible treatment options during a consultation. We will explain to you in detail the risks that may be involved and the costs incurred.<\/p>\n

One variant of the procedure is surgical chin augmentation, which can be performed under local anesthesia with twilight sleep<\/strong>. However, a general anesthetic<\/strong> is more comfortable.<\/p>\n

An inpatient stay at our Yuveo Clinic is not necessary. This procedure is performed on an outpatient basis<\/strong>. After the chin correction<\/a>, a certain restriction of movement and a careful diet<\/strong> are important for a good healing process.<\/p>\n

A double chin<\/a> is often associated with a receding chin. If this is more pronounced, simultaneous liposuction below the tip of the chin can significantly improve the overall appearance.<\/p>\n

We also frequently perform a simultaneous rhinoplasty<\/a> at the Yuveo Clinic to optimize the profile aesthetically. This procedure is called a profile correction<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Chin augmentation can be performed without surgery using hyaluronic acid.<\/h2>\n

An augmentation chin correction is also possible without surgery<\/strong>. Hyaluronic acid<\/a> and collagen are popular fillers<\/strong> that we at Yuveo D\u00fcsseldorf can use for this purpose.<\/p>\n

This form of chin augmentation involves less effort for both the patient and the doctor. Injections can be performed under local anesthesia<\/strong> and on an outpatient basis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A more viscous hyaluronic acid is used than that used for wrinkle injections<\/a>. This also lasts longer, 1 to 1.5 years depending on the product.<\/p>\n

The material is injected directly into the chin bone and sculpted. Chin injections are also a good method to ‘try out’ to change your profile.<\/p>\n

If the change is satisfactory, a permanent chin augmentation can be performed later.<\/p>\n

For the first 2 weeks after the injection, you should not massage<\/strong> the chin area and avoid any form of pressure on the tissue.<\/p>\n

One of the risks is that the material<\/strong> can shift and not much of the result of the treatment remains.<\/p>\n

How does chin augmentation surgery in D\u00fcsseldorf work?<\/h2>\n

Chin augmentation<\/strong> is usually performed via an incision on the mucous membrane<\/strong> of the lower lip in the mouth. However, it is also possible to perform the operation via an incision under the chin. This is an option if there is already a scar after a chin laceration.<\/p>\n

Although chin augmentation with an incision in the mouth does not leave a scar, the risk of infection is slightly increased.<\/p>\n

Our D\u00fcsseldorf team therefore recommends that you maintain good oral hygiene after chin implant surgery.<\/p>\n

Which chin implants do we use for chin augmentation in D\u00fcsseldorf?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Chin implants<\/strong> are often used to build up the chin in order to achieve a lasting effect. The associated surgery is somewhat more complex than chin injections with hyaluronic acid.<\/p>\n

Chin implants are usually made of silicone<\/strong> and are generally almost sickle-shaped. Thanks to their solid, medium-hard consistency, we can customize the implants for chin augmentation.<\/p>\n

They are placed on the edge of the chin bone via the incision described above. The protrusions often extend further into the lateral lower jaw, especially in men.<\/p>\n

During the operation, our Yuveo team makes sure that two skin nerves in the immediate vicinity are not injured.<\/p>\n

How is the chin correction performed with bone displacement?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Chin augmentation through bone displacement is also known as Chinsliding<\/strong>. It is an option if the patient does not want to make do with an artificial chin implant.<\/p>\n

The incision required is slightly larger than when inserting chin implants. The longer healing phase due to bone healing must also be taken into account.<\/p>\n

The bone<\/strong> on the chin is sawn through horizontally and the lower piece of bone is moved forward. The fixation is then carried out with metal (screws, plates, wires).<\/p>\n

After such a chin augmentation, the steps on the bone can often be felt but not seen, as they are concealed by the soft tissue.<\/p>\n
