Minimum Age for Chin Augmentation?
I am a 16 year-old-male, and I was wondering what's the minimum age to be able to get chin surgery done? I am primarily interested with sliding genioplasty. Also, if you wish to recommend a good surgeon in my area, please do so.
A: Minimum age for male chin implant
I recommend that you wait until age 18-19 before having a genioplasty as your facial development, particularly the thickening of the jaw line,is not yet complete. While you are waiting for this to occur, you can use the time wisely to research your options and find a surgeon with whom you are comfortable. Good luck to you!
Up/down Pulse and Hypertension, Would General Anesthesia or Local with Sedation be Safe for me While Getting Chin Implant?
A holtor monitor showed my heart rate rises into the high 140s and falls into the low 40s throughout the course of the day. My cardiologist said that my heart was fine after a full work-up, even though no explanation was found. Pre-op EKG showed my heart rate at 46. I take low dose (1/2 pill) metoprolol 1x/day + Catapres for hypertension. Is it safe for me to go under general anesthesia for a chin implant and submental lipo, or would local (with sedation?) be safer for me? Thanks...
A: Medical issues and chin augmentation
Any patient with a history of hypertension and/or cardiac problems must be medically stable and be cleared by the cardiologist prior to surgery. The blood pressure must be stable and the procedure can be performed in the office based surgery suite or in an ambulatory center either under local or sedation. Given your underlying conditions, I would prefer to have the anesthesiologist available, although this would add to the cost, even if the procedure was scheduled under local.
