Question:
I love my sister’s chin. Mine looks very weak in comparison. I’m from Halyard Park and I’m wondering if I could get an implant to make mine look like hers does.

Answer:
Though I cannot make your chin look exactly like your sister’s chin, we can certainly modify your chin to look more like your sister’s chin, and if overall your chin is weak then more than likely we would recommend a chin implant to give you a more significant chin that is in more harmony with the remainder of your face.

Question:
I have a very pointy chin. It’s not too big it’s just too pointy. Would a chin implant help to round it out?

Answer:
A chin implant can definitely help round out an overly pointy chin.  The implant should be selected or modified to provide augmentation in the areas that we desire, which in your case would be augmentation on each side of the pointy portion of the chin so that we round it out.  Overall, this is a relatively simple procedure with extremely high patient satisfaction.

Question: Does chin augmentation have to be performed in a hospital?

Answer: No, chin augmentation surgery does not need to be performed in a hospital and, in fact, over the past almost 10 years I have been performing chin augmentation surgery in my office using strictly local anesthetic.

Question: I am a 25-year-old man with what I consider to be a very weak facial profile. I am considering a chin implant procedure, but I would like to know what the chin implant is composed of, and how likely is it that my body will reject the implant?

Answer: The chin implants that I currently use are made of firm or hard silicone.  They are quite flexible and will contour against the bone of the chin and, due to the fact that they are silicone, there is literally no chance that your body would reject the implant.

Question: I have virtually no chin and would like a chin implant. About how long is the recovery time after surgery?

Answer: Recovery from a chin implant is extremely minimal and, in fact, many patients will go to work the next day as long as they do not mind a small amount of swelling in the chin, the possibility of some mild bruising, and a suture underneath the chin.  The suture is removed in about a week and all of the swelling subsides within the few couple of months.  The chin never looks so swollen as to appear strange in the far majority of circumstances.
