What is a Chin Implant?
Chin implant for men surgery, or Mentoplasty, is the process of placing a medical-grade implant into the chin to improve the contours of the face. A weak or unpronounced chin is often the culprit of poor facial symmetry which potentially makes one’s nose appear larger than it is. A chin implant corrects these deficiencies. Dr. Steinbrech uses extended anatomic silicone implants that can be customized to meet each patient’s individual goals with the latest state-of-the-art shape techniques. Once completed, the implant provides a permanent solution for men looking for a more chiseled and masculine chin. Mentoplasty can be performed alone or in conjunction with other procedures such as Rhinoplasty and Jaw Implants to achieve more desirable facial proportions dependent upon the patient’s needs.
How is Chin Implant for Men Performed?
Chin implant surgery is typically a fast procedure, taking 30 minutes to an hour to perform. All patients will be given a local anesthetic by a board-certified anesthesiologist chosen by Dr. Steinbrech for safety and comfort. Implants are inserted via a small incision in the patient’s natural crease line below the chin. Scars from this incision are often not visible following the surgery. Underlying or excess tissue is also removed during the procedure, allowing space for the implant to be placed on the mental protuberance (chin bone). All implants require a confidential consultation with Dr. Steinbrech before surgery.
*State-of-the-art Implants are made from a medical-grade material that feels like natural bone. They come in all shapes and sizes so that they can be tailored to the individual’s needs.
Who is a Good Candidate for a Chin Implant?
Chin augmentation is used to eliminate a receding or unpronounced chin. In this case, a synthetic implant is best for clients who want to improve their facial projection or balance. Candidacy is determined based on a patient’s health following a confidential consultation with Dr. Steinbrech at his NYC practice. Altering the appearance of the chin can greatly improve a man’s facial symmetry, particularly as it relates to the chin and nose. Mentoplasty is ideal for men looking to improve a:
- Fleshy neck
- Pointed chin
- Prominent nose
- Weak Chin
- Recessed or double-chin
Recovery Time
Due to small incisions made during chin augmentation, there may be mild discomfort following surgery. This begins to decrease after 3 days and can be diffused with oral medications and anti-inflammatories. After approximately a week post-procedure, most pain will have typically subsided. Minimal swelling is expected and patients may need to sleep with their head elevated for 2 to 3 weeks following chin implant surgery. Dr. Steinbrech advises that strenuous activity be avoided for up to 2 weeks.
