CHIN AUGMENTATION IN PORTLAND

CHANGE YOUR FACIAL PROFILE

The chin is an important structure in a person’s profile. When someone has a small chin, the transition between the lower face and neck often appears oblique, making the neck look fuller. On profile, the nose may be normal, but appear large when the chin is small, and the proportions are off. Conversely, a prominent chin can also disrupt the appearance of a person’s profile. Chin augmentation from Portland’s The Waldorf Center for Plastic Surgery can improve the proportions of the face and can also create a nicer jawline and neckline.*

BOOK YOUR CONSULTATION

YOUR CHIN AUGMENTATION CONSULTATION

We believe you need to be well informed about the cosmetic procedure in which you are interested, including the pre- and post-operative expectations. At your initial consult, your surgeon will meet with you about your concerns and personal goals. Feel free to bring in images of looks that you do or don’t like to help us understand your aesthetic tastes. Your surgeon will then examine you and offer an opinion on how to achieve your goals based on best practices.

Choosing a chin augmentation surgeon is an intensely personal decision. We encourage you to take time to question your surgeon and our team. We believe the formation of a personal bond is an integral part of the surgery and healing process.

CHIN AUGMENTATION SURGERY

The chin shape can often be improved with a chin implant. This chin augmentation procedure is performed through an incision inside the mouth, so there are no visible scars.

The placement of a chin implant involves creating a small pocket over the most prominent portion of the chin and inserting an implant. This increases the projection of the chin.

Chin augmentation surgery takes approximately one hour and is performed with general anesthesia. You can return home the same day, but you will be drowsy and need someone to physically drive you home and stay with you for 24 hours.

CHIN AUGMENTATION RECOVERY

After chin augmentation surgery, a person should relax for seven to 10 days to allow for healing. Most people are able to resume a regular work or home schedule after that time period and can return to strenuous activity levels in four to six weeks.*
