I would like to get a chin implant for the side profile of my face, i hear chin implants are relatively quick and safe so it doesn't look fake, is this true? I'd also like to get a dimpleplasty maybe, I really don't want to over do it with cosmetic surgery, is a chin implant and dimpleplasty relatively safe and not fake looking?
Answer: Chin Implant- Natural Most chin implants when place properly by a well trained surgeon should look and feel natural both to the patient and to others.#chinimplant#naturalchinimplant

Answer: Yes chin implants natural but dimples??? I think chin implants can look very natural if not excessively big (like breast implants).I would not say the same about dimples.

Answer: Chin implant questions Hello! Yes, chin implants look very natural, changing the appearance much more from the side view than from the front. I prefer and extended implant as it looks more natural than a "button" type implant that just goes over the mentum, or front of the chin. Implants come in various sizes and there are several options for materials- silicone (silastic), e PTFE (Gore-tex) or porous polyethylene (Med Por). Some surgeons still use Merseline mesh. There are pluses and minuses to each type of implant- it is best to consult with a surgeon who has experience with different types to guide your selection. Good luck!

Answer: Sliding genioplasty Being an option, chin implants have serious disadvantages, specially in the mid and long term, patients are rarely happy with them after 5-6 years, all are out by then or later.Consider the chin advancement by means of sliding genioplasty, the advantages are:-lifetime procedure, no more revision or renewal procedures-more natural than implants-no visibility of implant edges during gestures-improves the double chin effect at the sub-mental muscles (floor of mouth) hammock caused by lack of tension there; also improves the shape and tension of perioral muscles; implants do no offer this feature-horse-shoe enhancement, covering the chin and also the jaw sides of it-no future displacements or neuritis of mental nerves-practically zero infections and 100% healing of bones-no need for complex plates and screws that may need future removal; just steel wires synthesis may suffice, they stay buried into bone callusThe cons are:-expensive, but cheap if you consider the lifetime pros-technically demanding, few surgeons are experienced or comfortable (though I personally perform 100% of the chin augmentations by this osseous method, always after offering the patients both options)-scary for the patient (though not so much if you explain well the stuff around it)You'll find in this website dozens of negative experiences with chin implants in the short and mid term, do read my profile's Q&A and you'll find them too. I am doing sliding genioplaties for 15 years with the highest success and no one patient regreted, totall the opposite, I did many chin implant removals and one staged sliding genioplasties to replace them.
