CHIN IMPLANT IN NEW YORK CITY BY DR. BERAKA

Best Candidates:

  • People who want a stronger jaw line and a tighter neck.
  • It is surprising how many people have a weak chin and don't realize it. That's because most people don't see their profile.
  • Particularly useful for men, because an attractive male face has to have a strong jaw line.
  • No age limit among adults. Patients range from 18 years old to 65 years old. The chin does not change after the age of 18.
  • Loosing weight does not help. You can be very thin and still have a fatty neck. It is usually genetic. Look at family pictures.

What's special about my approach:

  • Everything begins with really examining your anatomy. That's how I decide who will be improved with a chin implant.
  • I carefully measure your face to pick the chin implant with exactly the best size and shape for you.
  • We use anatomical implants that improve not just your chin but the whole jaw line.
  • Gentle, precise surgery and a good eye are essential so that you end up with good shape and symmetry of your jaw line
  • I do a chin implant in rhinoplasty [click] patients with a weak chin, because the chin is just as important as the nose for a great profile.
  • I sometimes use a chin implant together with a facelift [click] or with liposuction of the neck [click] because the implant helps to create a cleaner, tighter neck.

The Procedure:

  • Chin implant is really one of those simple, safe, and quick operations that can make a huge improvement in your appearance.
  • It takes about 45 minutes under local anesthesia with sedation, and the recovery is about five days. There is a short scar under the skin which fades.
  • The implant is made of solid silicone to imitate bone, and it is entirely safe.
  • The implant is contoured to fit exactly the shape of your jaw.
  • The chin implant feels natural. It becomes a part of your face and you are not aware of it.
