Who Can Consider Chin Reduction Surgery and is it Worth the Effort?
Cosmetic surgery is best for people who are unhappy about their chin,
whether it be because it is too small (or weak) or because it is too
large or prominent. Having chin surgery will not only improve the
appearance of your chin, but may improve the look of your whole face.
Bear in mind, though, that a very large nose is not suddenly going
to become smaller (although it may be less noticeable). If you are
not happy with the results, the implant can be removed.
Chin surgery is not appropriate for people who are on Acutance, or
who have been on Acutance within the previous six months. It is also
not a good procedure for people in poor health (both physical and
emotional) and people who have bone disorders.

The cost, dangers and inconvenience can make many people unwilling
to undergo chin surgery. As with any surgery, there are some risks
involved. With chin surgery, there may also be a fair degree of
discomfort and pain. Talk to your plastic surgeon first about any
concerns you have and whether chin plastic surgery is a good option
for you. You should also discuss exactly what the procedure will
involve. Once you know what the procedure involves, you may be unwilling
to undergo the operation.
Possible Complications
Chin augmentation and chin reductions are surgeries, and like any
surgery, there is the risk of minor or serious complications. Some
of the possible chin surgery complications that may occur are
An allergic reaction to the anesthetic used.
A post-operative infection. If there is an infection, the
implant may need to be removed. One possible infection is Staphylococcus.
Hematoma. Hematoma is a mass of clotted blood that forms
as a result of a broken blood vessel.
Implant displacement. The implant may be positioned wrongly,
resulting in swelling, trauma or hemotoma.
Implant shifting. If the implant is not fixed properly,
it may move. A second operation will be needed to reposition the
implant.
Numbness. There will be numbness after the operation. Sometimes
lip numbness lasts for longer than three weeks. Surgery will be
needed to return sensation to the lips.
To reduce the chance of complications arising from cosmetic chin
surgery, make sure you choose a qualified plastic surgeon. Research
the plastic surgeon thoroughly before undergoing the procedure.
Discuss the procedure with him and find out exactly what the procedure
entails. Tell him of all medical conditions and any other problems
that may interfere or affect the surgery.
Conclusion
Aesthetic chin surgery involves expense, discomfort, pain and inconvenience.
Some people decide that is a price they are willing to pay for a new
chin. Unfortunately, some patients undergo the operation and are not
happy with the results. Implants can be removed, but they require
another surgical procedure. Before undergoing any cosmetic chin surgery,
it is worthwhile spending time in research and evaluation.
