A weak, undefined chin can impact your appearance, making your other facial features look out of proportion. Often, patients concerned about the size or profile of the nose need a stronger jawline to bring the entire facial contour into proper balance. If you feel that your jawline could use additional shaping, customized chin implants can add balance and facial harmony. After chin surgery with implants, patients feel more confident in their appearance, whether the procedure is performed solo or combined with another facial enhancement like nose reshaping surgery.
Some patients find they can achieve positive results in chin augmentation with non-surgical treatments, such as dermal filler injections. These procedures are also available at Cross Hudson Plastic Surgery, allowing you to enhance your appearance without incisions or anesthesia. However, the results will be temporary, and you will need to come in for regular treatments to maintain them. Many patients who are pleased with the effects of dermal fillers eventually schedule chin implant surgery to achieve a permanent result. Dermal fillers can also be used a few months before surgery to demonstrate your appearance with a stronger, more defined jawline.
At Cross Hudson Plastic Surgery, we help our patients understand the benefits of chin surgery by assessing their profile during the consultation and showing them sample implants. Dr. Mordkovich offers various treatment options to both older and younger patients who are unhappy with their facial contour due to an underdeveloped chin. In addition, chin augmentation is beneficial for patients with asymmetries along the jawline that can be corrected with implants.
Dr. Mordkovich will have you measured and fitted for your implant one to two weeks before your scheduled chin surgery. Our technician will take a mold of your chin in the office, and Dr. Mordkovich will shape your implant according to the corrective goals you decided on during your consultation.
On the day of your surgery, you will be put under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with IV sedation. You can discuss your preference for anesthesia with Dr. Mordkovich during your consultation. However, the choice may also be determined by whether you have chin augmentation alone or in conjunction with another surgical procedure like rhinoplasty.
Dr. Mordkovich is recognized as a Top Doc by Real Self and is known for natural-looking results from chin surgery and other cosmetic operations, such as breast augmentations, tummy tucks, Brazilian butt lift, and mommy makeovers. Our team also offers non-invasive treatments in an innovative med spa to address sun damage, visible signs of aging, and other issues. Cross Hudson Plastic Surgery is conveniently located in Bergen County, New Jersey, just a quick ride from anywhere in the tri-state area.
