Chin Implants: A Permanent Solution
A chin implant is a solid, biocompatible implant placed over the chin bone to add permanent definition and projection. The procedure is performed surgically, usually under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia.
Best for:
- Individuals with moderate to severe chin recession
- Those looking for a long-lasting solution
- Patients who prefer one-time surgery over repeated treatments
Factors to Consider:
- Permanent enhancement
- Customizable size and shape
- Natural look and feel once healed
- Requires surgery and recovery time
Chin Fillers: A Non-Surgical Alternative
Dermal fillers (such as hyaluronic acid-based fillers) injections in the chin area create volume, projection, and definition. The procedure is quick, requires no downtime, and results are visible immediately.
Best for:
- Individuals with mild to moderate chin recession
- Those who want to test the look before committing to surgery
- Patients looking for a temporary, non-invasive option
Factors to Consider:
- No surgery or downtime
- Immediate results
- Adjustable and reversible
- Temporary (lasts 6-18 months)
- Requires repeated treatments
- Limited improvement for severe chin deficiencies
