Chin Implant With Dr. Joel Studin, Long Island

Chin implant surgery, also called genioplasty, improves contours of the chin, neck and jawline. This procedure frequently is done in combination with a face or neck lift, to improve the results and make someone look even younger and better defined. Some people, have loose skin along the jawline and neck, making them look older than they are. Others, have a weak chin, which is not as attractive as it could be. Typically, surgery involves placement of an implant around a patient’s existing chin bone to augment the size and shape of the chin and achieve a more naturally attractive balance between facial features. read more

Why Choose A Chin Implant?

Chin implant surgery is ideal for individuals who feel that their chin is not proportionate to the rest of their facial features. It can improve facial symmetry by enhancing chin proportion, correct a weak or recessed chin, enhance the definition of your neck and jawline, and even get rid of the dreaded "double" chin or hanging jowls that many people have struggled to get rid of, despite diet and exercise.

Chin Implant
Procedure

Anesthesia

Dr. Studin begins the surgery with the administration of either general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. This will make sure you're comfortable and pain-free throughout the chin implant procedure. The type of anesthesia used will be determined based on the surgery's complexity and your personal preference.

Incision

A strategic incision is made by Dr. Studin, which could be either underneath the chin or inside the mouth. You all have discussed these different approaches with Dr. Studin before your procedure and decided together which one to use.

Implant Placement

Through the initial incision, Dr. Studin carefully creates space for the chin implant. The implant is then precisely positioned around the chin bone, bolstering the chin's size and shape. This step is essential for achieving a more attractive chin and balanced facial features.

Recovery

Post-operative recovery is an extremely important step of the chin implant process. Patients usually experience minimal downtime but will be provided with specific care instructions by Dr. Studin in order to properly heal. Key recommendations include sleeping with the head elevated to reduce swelling, and following a soft diet the first few days after surgery to minimize pressure on the chin area. Most patients can resume their normal activities within a week.
