Pleasanton Chin Implant doctors

Six weeks after surgery you should be OK for laser treatment for hair.  This assumes you've had a normal post-op course.  If there have been wound healing problems or any other complication then you should wait for these issues to be resolved.

Chin implants can be shaped. They can also be custom manufactured. In addition genioplasties using your own tissue (bone) can be performed to create just the right look.

The key here is that the amount of injectable does not directly translate into the volume of the implant (or the shape for that matter).

It is important for you to take photographs of how you looked before your injections and after and use this as a guide to discuss what you didn't like about your profile and chin shape prior to the injection and what you feel has been improved by the injection.

This will insure that you and your provider have a common frame of reference. This is even more critical if you are planning on going to a different surgeon for your future procedure.

Be sure to seek the advice of a board certified plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon.

As plastic surgeons we usually spend a great deal of time and effort to keep implants in, however, there are occasions when we need to take facial implants out.

The ease really depends where it was placed and what the implant was made out of (with this last factor being the more important of the two).

Implants made from silicone typically have a capsule around them formed by your body. The implant is usually quite easily removed once this capsule is identified. Implants made out of a material like gortex on the other hand can be quite challenging to remove as there can be significant tissue in growth into the implant making it difficult to separate from your native tissue.
