Increase the size and projection of a chin that is not proportionately balanced with the forehead and mid-face.
Chin implants can increase the size and projection of a chin that is not proportionately balanced with the forehead and mid-face. A small or recessed chin can become a more distinct facial feature. In addition, jaw implants can enhance the lower third of your face by defining your jaw.
Methods of anesthesia used during your surgery can vary and will be discussed during your consultation with an LSU Plastic Surgeon. Facial implant surgery is typically performed on an outpatient basis. The length of the surgery depends on which area or areas of your face are involved; typically, surgery lasts between one and two hours.
