Hi everyone! Thanks for reading. There are so many new procedures to get rid of excess fat under the chin I really do not know what is best. I'm 27 and at a healthy weight. I would like the results to be permanent and I definitely do not want to have surgery. Also, if you could recommend some doctors in nj it would be much appreciated. Thanks again!
If there is enough fat underneath the chin without loose, saggy skin, then the best option would be laser liposuction. This procedure can be done under local anesthesia and takes about 45 minutes to perform. There is minimal bruising and swelling which should rapidly subside. Recovery is around one week, and a bandage wrap must be worn for that one week to help the skin to tighten. There have not been great long term results with other products that are non invasive, while laser liposuction can result in a great permanent improvement. Make an appointment with a board certified facial plastic or plastic surgeon to discuss your best options.
I had Rhinoplasty last year, but the doctor recommended that I get a chin implant as well. I opted not to. I do love the outcome of my new nose, but I am now considering chin augmentation to help balance out my face. I have seen the profile computer image, but I am having a hard time understanding how I will look from the front, and when I smile and my facial expressions. Also, I am trying to decide between the implant or sliding genioplasty (since I don't love the idea of an implant being in my body. Any thoughts?
Chin augmentation is an excellent way to balance your facial features. It is an easy procedure that can be done under local anesthesia, while a sliding genioplasty is more involved and slightly more risky. The chin implant should only minimally change your front view unless you are trying to lengthen the vertical height of the chin, which the genioplasty can do a little more effectively. Niether procedure should affect your facial motion. Most people simply need more projection and the implant is definitely my preferred procedure for that. It is normal to have concerns about implants, but infection is rare and they essentially become part of the body after they become encased in collagen. The implant is placed over your existing bone structure of your lower jaw to increase dimensions and will produce an excellent result. If you are still having concerns about the procedure, please speak with your surgeon, and he/she will help you resolve any questions.
I plan to have Rhinoplasty and Chin Redution surgery together but I am hesitant as I read that these surgeries may lead facial paralysis? How true is it?
Chin Reduction can rarely cause injury to two different nerves;
1. Marginal Mandibular Nerve that makes you move your lower lip.
2. Mental Nerve that provides sensation to the lower lip and chin.
The risk is very small. Discuss your concerns with your surgeon. He / She might be able to give you alternate options if you are really worried about these potential risks.
Regards
