Chin Implant

Implant procedures can be done in the forehead, smile line (nasolabial fold), and chin. In this article, let’s focus on chin implants.

 

Chin implants at Mina Plastic Surgery generally take only 1 hour. But the duration may vary depending on the patient’s health condition and surgical situation. Local anesthesia is given during the surgery, and you will spend another hour in the recovery room for an aftercare service by our surgeon and nurses. You must revisit Mina Plastic Surgery 7 days after the surgery to remove stitches and receive additional aftercare.

Possible Areas for Implant

A chin implant, also known as chin augmentation or genioplasty, is a surgical procedure that involves the placement of a synthetic implant or the modification of the patient’s existing chin bone to enhance the shape, size, and projection of the chin.

The implant used in chin augmentation is typically made of biocompatible materials, such as silicone or porous polyethylene. It is designed to mimic the natural contours of the chin and is available in various sizes and shapes to suit different facial proportions and aesthetic goals.

Chin implants commonly address concerns such as a weak or recessed chin, lack of definition in the lower face, or facial imbalance. Adding volume and projection to the chin can improve facial harmony and create a more balanced profile.

Chin implants commonly address concerns such as a weak or recessed chin, lack of definition in the lower face, or facial imbalance. Adding volume and projection to the chin can improve facial harmony and create a more balanced profile.

Who is a Good Candidate for Chin Implant?

A chin implant surgery is recommended for those who want better facial balance. Those with a small chin have a blurred chin line, which could make the mouth look protruded and break the balance of the face.

Chin Implant
  • Weak or receding chin. Individuals with a weak or recessed chin, often characterized by a lack of projection or definition in the lower face, may be suitable candidates for a chin implant.
  • Facial balance and harmony. Candidates should have a desire to improve facial symmetry and balance. A chin implant can help bring the chin into proportion with other facial features, such as the nose and jawline.
  • Stable facial growth. It is generally advised that candidates for chin implants have a stable facial bone structure. Adolescents with incomplete facial growth may only be suitable candidates once their growth is stable.
  • Adequate bone structure. Candidates should have sufficient bone structure in the chin area to support the implant. A thorough evaluation by a qualified plastic surgeon can determine if the candidate has a suitable bone structure for the procedure.

 

Patients who are good candidates for chin implants need to be in good general health to undergo any surgical procedure. They should disclose their complete medical history and any underlying medical conditions to their surgeon.

Besides these concerns, it is important to note that every individual is unique, so a consultation with your cosmetic surgeon is necessary to determine if you are a good candidate. Your surgeon will check on some factors to tailor your best treatment plan.

Chin Implant: What to Expect

Before the chin implant surgery, you will have a consultation with your surgeon to discuss your goals, medical history, and expectations. The cosmetic surgeon will evaluate your facial structure and determine if you are a suitable candidate for a chin implant. You will receive instructions on how to prepare for the surgery.

 

During the surgery, you will be administered anesthesia to ensure your comfort during the procedure. This may be general anesthesia, which puts you to sleep, or local anesthesia with sedation, where you are awake but relaxed.

 

The cosmetic surgeon will make a small incision inside your mouth (intraoral approach) or under your chin (submental approach). The choice of incision depends on various factors, including the type of implant and your specific needs. The chin implant is carefully positioned and secured to achieve the desired projection and contour. The surgeon will take into account your facial structure and aesthetic goals.

 

 After the surgery, you will be taken to a recovery area, where medical staff will monitor your condition as you wake up from anesthesia. Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort in the chin area are common after chin implant surgery. Your surgeon may prescribe pain medication to manage any discomfort. You will have follow-up appointments with your surgeon to monitor your healing progress and remove stitches.

 

During the first week or two, you may experience swelling and bruising, which will gradually subside. You may need to follow a soft or liquid diet initially and avoid strenuous activities. Over the following weeks and months, your chin will continue to heal, and the final results will become more apparent. It’s important to follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions for optimal healing.

 

Once the swelling has subsided, you should notice an improved chin contour and facial balance. The final results of chin implant surgery can take several months to manifest fully.

Tip Plasty

What is Tip Plasty?

Tip plasty, also known as nasal tip rhinoplasty or nasal tip refinement, is a surgical procedure that focuses on reshaping and enhancing the appearance of the nasal tip. It is a subset of rhinoplasty, which is a broader term for nose reshaping surgery.

During a tip plasty, the surgeon modifies the cartilage and sometimes the soft tissues of the nasal tip to achieve the desired aesthetic outcome. The procedure can address various concerns, such as a bulbous or rounded tip, a droopy tip, asymmetry, or a tip that is overly projected or under-projected. By carefully sculpting and reshaping the nasal tip, the surgeon can create a more balanced and refined appearance that harmonizes with the rest of the facial features.

The specific techniques used in tip plasty may vary depending on the patient’s individual needs and the surgeon’s approach. These techniques may involve:

  • Cartilage Surgery. This technique involves replacing, reshaping, or placing an implant on the patient’s nose. If your case needs an implant, a prosthesis with autoplasty gives the most natural and satisfying result. MINA Plastic Surgery uses septum cartilage or ear cartilage.
  • Alar Reduction. A nose with a wide alar may still look flat and have wider nostrils, despite the high nose bridge. This affects the whole shape of the nose. Alar reduction reduces the width of the nose body. At MINA Plastic Surgery, the procedure does not involve operation on the bone or cartilage. The surgery will only be performed on the skin-muscle level.
Tip Plasty

Good Candidates for Tip Plasty

The procedure aims to correct the tip of their nose to make it more refined and change their overall look. Good candidates for the procedure may include individuals who have the following characteristics

  • Long/short nose tip
  • Low nose tip
  • Blunt nose tip
  • Overall nose line

People who have these nose shape concerns may feel the need to change their dull appearance. While others need the correction procedure to address the structural problem of their nose that may have caused nasal obstruction or breathing difficulty.

What to Expect in Tip Plasty

An initial consultation with a cosmetic surgeon is done to discuss your goals, concerns, and expectations. The surgeon will evaluate your nasal structure, discuss the potential outcomes, and determine if you’re a suitable candidate for tip plasty.

If you decide to have the tip plasty in South Korea and with MINA Plastic Surgery, Dr Cha will create a personalized surgical plan based on your specific needs. Pre-operative instructions, such as medication guidelines and dietary restrictions, will also be provided.

During the tip plasty, local anesthesia is given to make you feel at ease during the procedure. The surgeon will make small incisions, often inside the nostrils or in inconspicuous areas, to access the nasal tip. Various techniques may be considered to achieve the desired changes and a refined nasal tip. Once the necessary modifications are made, the incisions will be closed with sutures.

After the procedure, you may be monitored in a recovery area before being discharged home or to a post-operative care facility, depending on the surgeon’s recommendation.

Tip Plasty

Recovery and Aftercare

You can expect mild to moderate swelling and bruising around the nasal tip and possibly the surrounding areas. Cold compresses and prescribed medications can help manage discomfort and reduce swelling. Swelling may gradually go after 2 to 3 weeks from surgery.

Do not forget to visit for your scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor your healing progress, remove any sutures, and provide further instructions.

You will receive specific instructions on how to clean and care for your nose, which may include gentle cleaning with saline solution and avoiding any trauma or pressure to the area. Do not blow your nose or cough the phlegm out to avoid bleeding.

Why Choose Mina Plastic Surgery for Tip Plasty?

Tip Plasty

At MINA Plastic Surgery, Dr Cha designs the ideal outcome that suits your overall appearance. An incision is done to separate the periosteum from the nose bridge bone to make room for the implant. Dr Cha implants the carved prosthesis between the bone and periosteum.

  • Cartilage Surgery. Cartilage Tie Tip Plasty is a procedure that ties the widespread alar cartilage making the nose tip protrude and sharper. Dr. Cha will examine the size of the cartilage, as well as the range of how much it’s spread out. Depending on the condition of the nose, Dr. Cha will decide if a small trimming or removal of the cartilage will be necessary.
  • Cartilage Implant. It may or may not include the tying process, depending on the condition of your nose. If the flat/thick nose is due to the amount of fat on the nose tip, Dr. Cha will remove the fat, then make an implant.
  • Cartilage Reposition. A procedure of taking the septum cartilage, and repositioning it on the suited place. MINA Plastic Surgery recommends this to those who have a short, upturned nose innately, or due to a rhinoplasty failure. This may also work for clients who have their nasal septum cartilage or nose bridge sunken, caused by a former accident.
  • Alar Reduction – Removal. It involves removing the extra skin of the alar. Dr. Cha makes incisions and removes the part where the scar could be least visible – the lower part of the nostril. Then Dr. Cha sutures back, leaving sufficient space for nostrils to have no problem breathing.
  • Alar Reduction – Tie. It reduces the width of the nose by tying the skin between the nostrils and bringing in the skin of the alar. A small incision is made on the inside of each nostril. Dr. Cha links each alar with a string, bringing the linked parts together to make a knot. This won’t affect the original size of the nostrils, and therefore not cause any inconvenience to breathing.

Tip and Bridge Correction

Tip and bridge correction is the combination of tip plasty and bridge correction.

Our nose enhances the overall appearance as it sits in the middle of our face. It makes our lips and cheekbones appear protruded or gives us a flat profile. If you have a nose symmetrical to your face proportion, it makes you look more sophisticated, sharper, and balanced.

At MINA Plastic Surgery, we focus on giving our patients the perfect nose suitable for their facial features. So before you decide to have the tip and bridge correction in South Korea, our plastic surgeon assesses your proportion, balance, and overall looks.

Let’s know more about the procedure before you decide to have an appointment with us.

What is Tip and Bridge Correction?

Tip and bridge correction, also known as rhinoplasty or nose reshaping surgery, is a cosmetic procedure that focuses on modifying and improving the appearance of the nasal tip and bridge. It is a surgical intervention performed by plastic surgeons or otolaryngologists to address aesthetic concerns or functional issues related to the nose.

During a tip and bridge correction procedure, the surgeon may use various techniques to reshape and refine the nasal tip and bridge based on the patient’s desired outcome and anatomical considerations. These techniques can involve removing or adding cartilage and bone, repositioning the nasal structures, or altering the nasal skin.

Common concerns addressed through tip and bridge correction include:

  • Nasal tip refinement: The surgeon can modify the shape, size, projection, rotation, or definition of the nasal tip. This can involve reducing excess cartilage or adding structural support to enhance the tip’s appearance.
  • Nasal bridge correction. The procedure can address issues such as a hump, depression, or asymmetry on the nasal bridge. The surgeon may perform osteotomies (controlled bone cuts) to reshape the bridge or use grafts to augment or smoothen its contour.
  • Nasal symmetry. If the nose is asymmetrical, the surgeon can make adjustments to create a more balanced and harmonious appearance.
  • Functional improvements. In addition to cosmetic enhancements, tip and bridge correction can also address functional concerns, such as a deviated septum or nasal valve collapse, which can obstruct airflow and cause breathing difficulties. These functional issues can be corrected simultaneously during the procedure.
Tip Plasty

Good Candidates for Tip and Bridge Correction

The procedure aims to correct the tip and bridge of the nose to change their overall look. Good candidates for the tip and bridge correction may include individuals who have the following characteristics:

  • Wide or flat nose bridge
  • Low nose tip
  • Blunt nose tip
  • Eyes far apart

People who have these nose shape concerns may feel the need to change their dull appearance. While others need the correction procedure to address the structural problem of their nose that may have caused nasal obstruction or breathing difficulty.

A good candidate for tip and bridge correction needs to be 15 and older. Physical maturity ensures that the nose has fully developed before undergoing any surgical intervention.

Besides every individual’s age and concern for their nose appearance, the final determination of whether you are a good candidate is after the plastic surgeon’s evaluation.

If you have undergone a thorough evaluation of needs and medical history, it is important to prepare for the procedure. So, here is what you have to expect for the tip and bridge correction.

What to Expect in Tip and Bridge Correction

You will have an initial consultation with a plastic surgeon. During this appointment, you will discuss your goals, concerns, medical history, and expectations. The surgeon will evaluate your nasal structure, provide recommendations, and explain the surgical options available.

Our cosmetic surgeon will create a personalized surgical plan based on your specific goals and nasal anatomy. This will involve discussing the desired changes to the tip and bridge, the surgical technique to be used (open or closed rhinoplasty), and any additional procedures that may be performed simultaneously, such as septoplasty or grafting.

The surgery will be performed under local anesthesia.

In open rhinoplasty, an incision is made across the columella (the strip of tissue between the nostrils), allowing the surgeon to lift the nasal skin and access the underlying structures. In closed rhinoplasty, incisions are made inside the nostrils. The surgeon will then reshape the nasal tip and bridge by removing, adding, or rearranging the cartilage and bone.

Once the desired reshaping is complete, the incisions are carefully closed with sutures or dissolvable stitches. Splints, dressings, or nasal packs may be placed to support the new nasal structure and aid in healing.

Recovery and Aftercare

Bruise and swelling may go on for 2 to 3 weeks after the surgery, but this will subside gradually. Final results may be apparent not less than 6 months. It is crucial for patients to follow the aftercare instructions of the cosmetic surgeons to ensure optimal results.

It is advisable not to blow your nose or cough the phlegm out after the surgery to avoid any bleeding on the treated area. Be there on your follow-up schedules to monitor your healing process and result progress. Do not touch the scar or tear off the scab on your nose.

Aftercare instructions may also include avoiding strenuous activities, protecting your nose from injury, halting smoking and drinking, and maintaining proper hygiene.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our cosmetic surgeon at MINA Plastic Surgery aims to minimize visible scarring. But, this depends on the techniques used for the procedure: closed rhinoplasty or open rhinoplasty. Open rhinoplasty may leave a small, unnoticeable scar at the base of your nose, while there may be no visible scarring for closed rhinoplasty. The choice of technique depends on the surgeon’s preference and is suitable to one’s case.

Yes, it is possible to combine tip and bridge correction with other surgeries. Cosmetic procedures commonly combined with tip + bridge correction are chin augmentation, lip augmentation, eyelid surgery, and septoplasty (deviated septum correction).

Combining procedures offer more comprehensive result in reduced downtime. So, if you are interested in having other procedures, discuss your desired outcome with our cosmetic surgeon.

Yes, you may have non-surgical alternatives for tip and bridge correction. Non-surgical rhinoplasty (liquid rhinoplasty) uses injectable fillers to reshape and contour the nose. However, it is important to note that non-surgical alternatives have limitations and may not be best if you want long-term correction.
