Chin augmentation is a procedure that is performed with dermal fillers such as Hyaluronic Acid to give shape and definition to the jaw contours. Thus a natural harmony in the results is achieved. In the case of men, chin augmentation is used to masculinize the facial contours and in women, chin augmentation helps to hide the localized fat in the double chin area and stylize the facial oval.
Procedure
During the treatment the patient will be as comfortable as possible and in a suitable clinical environment. Normally the area to be treated is anesthetized before proceeding with the infiltrations. Needles or cannulas can be used for this medical procedure. The treatment lasts approximately 30 min and lasts for 8 to 12 months.
Aftercare and Results
Results can be seen immediately after infiltration with Hyaluronic Acid. The areas of injection may appear "purple" and have inflammation. If this is the case, a home treatment for subsequent care will be recommended to the patient. The durability of the treatment varies between 8 months to 1 year and the rate of absorption of the product will depend on the metabolism of each patient.
