If you’re worried about chin implant movement

For those who are highly interested in appearance management, various procedures and other treatments can help address and improve areas of concern.

When meeting someone’s face for the first time, a small face with balanced facial contours can feel attractive even without especially striking or sharply defined eyes, nose, and mouth.

In other words, it is important not only to have distinct facial features, but also for the overall facial line to be smooth and harmonious.

Among facial lines, the part that serves as a point of balance and smoothness is none other than the chin.

Many people may think about liposuction, lifting, or contouring surgery to improve the facial line.

Depending on the shape of the chin at the end of the face, the overall facial line can change, and for those with a small lower jaw, or a recessed chin, the boundary between the chin and neck becomes unclear, making the face appear larger.

For that reason, correcting a recessed chin can help improve a harmonious facial line.

A lower jaw that is positioned inward compared to the upper jaw, or a lower jaw that is short and small, is called a recessed chin.

Many people consider chin surgery to improve this condition.

Chin surgery that inserts a chin implant can be performed through a relatively simple process.

By inserting an implant appropriate for each patient into the chin, the short procedure time and quick recovery can help reduce the burden.

However, one of the important points in chin surgery may be the choice of implant.

Chin implants can be broadly divided into silicone implants and Gore-Tex implants, and at our clinic, we may prefer chin implants made with Gore-Tex.

There are people who think Gore-Tex implants are difficult to remove. Because Gore-Tex is thought to be difficult to remove due to adhesion, that may be the case in nose surgery.

Since the skin of the nose is thin, Gore-Tex must be removed carefully when it is taken out, but in the case of chin implants, the implant is placed between the skin and muscle, above the periosteum, so it can generally be removed without major difficulty.

One reason Gore-Tex is used despite its higher material cost compared with silicone is its minimal movement.

Gore-Tex adheres to the surrounding tissue, so the implant hardly moves.

By contrast, silicone forms a capsule different from the surrounding tissue, and after surgery the implant can easily move away from the desired position.

Another reason for using it is that it is easy to shape.

Each person’s face, especially the chin, has a different form and shape, and their desired needs can also vary.

With Gore-Tex, a custom-made implant can be created for each individual, helping to achieve natural-looking chin implant surgery results with high satisfaction.

Some people consider chin implant surgery but worry about implant placement because their face may appear somewhat long.

However, bone surgery can be burdensome in terms of cost and recovery time.

Our clinic’s chin implant surgery applies one-on-one customized design and planning based on the skills of board-certified plastic surgery specialists with extensive experience and know-how, so that long faces can be made shorter and short faces can be made longer to complete harmonious facial proportions.
